WOW 22.03!

[AS]

Meanwhile Aussie TV ends their coverage and is now showing a weather graphic. It's 5am down here and they clearly have no respect for big men throwing things... and fat blokes watching their channel!!

Re: Armstrong

IMO Armstrong is ranked too low. I think this will be his medal meet along with a new Canadian record. He PBed in Beijing and will do it again in Berlin.

gold: Majewski - 21.56m
silver: Armstrong - .21.30m
bronze: Cantwell - 21.19m

You must be Canadian!!!

VIDEO: Cantwell - Majewski - Bartels
Gold, silver, bronze... their best

one of the best shot put competitions i have seen. usually the winner gets the winning throw in the first two rounds, but today was different.

Similar to Seoul 88!!! Tomasz(Barnes) thinks he has done enough to win with a big late throw, then Cantwell (Timmermann) comes back with a massive one...
