Queenslander Carlee Beattie has taken out silver in the T46 long jump for arm amputees on day four of the IPC Athletics World Championships.
The Paralympic silver medallist and world record holder coming into the event, Beattie's best mark of 5.75m was enough to secure the second spot, as Russian Nikol Rodamokina soared to a 40cm personal best of 5.92m to win gold.
"I am pretty happy with how everything went, of course there are always a few things that you could do better, but on the whole things went well. The Russian athlete had to jump better than she ever has to beat me and she did so she is a deserved winner," Beattie said.
"Coming off London and enjoying a strong domestic season this year has been great. Now I am just looking forward to a bit of a break, then back into training in September and getting back into it."
