UNCOVERED: Aussie ace to challenge for world medal after turmoil - The Untold Story

Jessica Hull has set up the prospect of a rare double medal-winning weekend after she accidentally pushed over the race favourite en route to winning bronze in a dramatic, rough-and-tumble 3000 metres at the world indoor championships in Poland.

On another successful day for the Australian challenge in Torun, pole vaulter Kurtis Marschall then cleared six metres in a championship for the first time as he earned his third global bronze behind his untouchable pal, Armand Duplantis, who made it four titles in a row.

With Nicola Olyslagers winning high jump silver on the opening day, the 11-strong team will hope Hull can finish it with a flourish on Sunday as she guns for a second medal over her Olympic silver-winning distance of 1500m.
