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

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

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

                  <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>They need to either throw over 20.65m to automatically qualify or get into the top 12.</p>
                        <p> </p>
                        <p>Edit: I saw that edit, hydro!</p>

                                        21.03m so far they are 2nd and 4th highest qualifying. Great result.

                                          <p>Gill not quite a PB, but 3cm off his best ever.<br><br>
                                          Walsh threw 21.03m, looked within himself as he set up his feet not using the full back of the circle. a "safe" throw. </p>
