Looks like Tom Walsh has thrown a qualifier. Gill not far off on his first attempt

[canefan]

Lisa is in the pack at halfway

[canefan]

Carrington is gone

[Unco]

<p>Maybe a silver for Lisa?</p>

[hydro11]

<p>She maybe snuck a medal.</p>

[Unco]

<p>Bronze!</p>

[hydro11]

<p>She always finishes well but was never going to catch the Hungarian.</p>

[canefan]

No gold, our girl is in a 3 way decision for two medals after finishing strong. Carrington with bronze!

[Billy Tell]

<p>Bronze, just because we need to balance out the number of golds and silvers...</p>

[Rembrandt]

Good lass! Great comeback at the end there nearly snuck silver after looking down and out a little after halfway

[canefan]

Only just missed the silver, almost as close as Mahe's margin

[Unco]

<p>Bit disappointing she missed out on silver but eh, that's a good result. Carrington may have won the last world championship 500m but the gold medallist (and multiple time world champ) didn't compete in that event, so it was hard to measure how they stacked up against each other.</p>

Anyone know how the shotput qualifying goes? Seems to be a mark of 21m which walsh and 3 others have hit, Gil is a further 2 places back will they have the best of the rest for the final?

<p>Top 12 or everyone who hits 20.65, I think.</p>

<p>They need to either throw over 20.65m to automatically qualify or get into the top 12.</p>

<p>Edit: I saw that edit, hydro!</p>

Cheers. So Gill is in just with 20.19 last throw now

[Rembrandt]

[Rembrandt]
