A day after a scary close call, Jamaican sprinter Andrew Hudson’s right eye remained irritated. He said he was heading home from world championships to be examined by a specialist.
Soon after, he made a trip to the hospital, where he had his eye flushed out five times, he said. He didn’t leave until around 2 a.m.
He wasn’t missing the final, though. Stationed in Lane 1, Hudson finished in 20.40 seconds, .88 seconds behind the winner, Noah Lyles. “It doesn’t really matter what lane they gave me,” Hudson said. “They could have put me on the grass, I was going to run.” The 26-year-old who grew up in Texas, went to Texas Tech and competes for Jamaica, said he’s watched video of the crash. It all happened so fast.
“I saw it coming and I tried to jump over to the side a little bit,” Hudson explained. “It’s very unfortunate and very reckless, in my opinion. I don’t blame anybody.”“The just flew across my face, and I had glass in my backpack,” he said. “I looked down at the seat and it had glass everywhere. I couldn’t do too much investigating, though.”“It’s been a tough two days for me,” Hudson said. “It wasn’t how I thought my first experience was going to go.
