So what was Walsh's best throw? Hopefully these two will push each other</p></blockquote>

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

<p>Gill has historically been a bit flaky under pressure at senior level. Being in 13th position (so not qualifying) going in for his 3rd round, to pull out a throw like that was really great. Hopefully its a big breakthrough for him regardless of what goes on tonight.</p>

She'll break the World Record in the 800 I reckon.</p> -
<p>Woken up to a silver from the Women's 470 and the obvious gold from the Men's 49ers. Nice. The men didn't even need to win but did anyway.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Women's 49ers FX up now. Just gotta beat Spain, Brazil and Denmark for gold, two of them for silver and one for bronze.</p> -

Blimey, you kept your entry quiet. Did you get kitted up in time for the start? -
<p>Tactical mistake-Brazilians made up ground on the left of the course, but we were still ahead at the 4th mark (I think, I'm tired). We should have immediately gone left around the mark too-but split and then they passed us....congrats both teams for doing very well.</p>
