The 40-year old, whose participation grabbed headlines before the Games even began, suffered a suspected ruptured ligament while attempting a Commonwealth record 132kg in the snatch when leading the women's 90kg-plus division.
Hubbard's third lift - an attempt to break her personal best of 131kg - went horribly wrong when Hubbard dropped the bar behind her and the athlete's elbow twisted awkwardly, leading to a withdrawal before the clean and jerk phase.
"At this stage we don't know the exact details of the injury - it seems likely that I have ruptured a ligament or... some fairly significant tissue damage, but until we have further scanning we won't know the details or extent of the injury," Hubbard said, New Zealand news site Stuff reported.
"The one saving grace in all of this is that I'm not in any great pain at the moment - I'm sure that that will come with time."
The Suddeutsche Zeitung, the first news group to report about the alleged identity of the suspect, said that he was a local resident in his late forties. The man was known to have some mental problems back in 2014 and 2016, the daily added. The paper also identified him as Jens R.
The Der Spiegel weekly, citing its own sources, reported that the man was a resident of Muenster and that he worked as a graphic designer. According to the FAZ daily, the man was born in the town of Olsberg, located south-east of Muenster.
The suspect has no criminal record and has not been known to police before, the media report. He also had no known links to any extremist or radical groups. The man's motives remain unclear. The German Focus magazine reports that the suspect attempted to commit suicide not long before the incident. He shot himself immediately after Saturday's incident.
Comment: This all reeks of the push to sexualize children and normalize the pedophile agenda. There is absolutely no reason for children to learn graphic sexual material or 'alternative' lifestyles. This is the corruption of the youth and it's taking place in public schools.
