First good shot put competition to be held in New Zealand in Feb.

[is 74 really old?]

I am looking forward to some good competition early in the season.
Here are the competitors with their best 2016-2017 marks:
Crouser 22.52, 73.88'
Walsh 22.21, 72.86'
Birkinhead 21.21, 69.58'
Whiting 21.06, 69.09'
Gill 21.01 68.93'

I just wish Kovacks would be there. 2017 could be one of the finest shot put years in history and the beginning of many years to come. Lots of great young throwers out there.

Kovacs didn't throw before April in either '15 or '16.

I have a feeling Crouser-Walsh is going to keep getting better and better as one of the best rivalries in T&F.
