J.C. Lambert dropped off his wife and pupil, hammer thrower DeAnna Price, on Sept. 28 at Khalifa International Stadium in Doha and sent her off with a message.
Go get ’em. It only takes 76 meters to medal.
Price completed their pre-competition routine like she always does. She grabbed the sides of Lambert’s head and crashed craniums.
“We do not give good-luck kisses,” Price said. “We give good-luck head-butts.
“We don’t want to be mushy. We want to stay in a competitive mindset.”
Hours later, Price was in tears and on her knees in the throwing circle, seconds after the world championships final ended.
