<p>And Jacko with a good 20.5 metre throw in his latest shot. Shame Mark Watson is doing the commentary - it means I have to have the mute in operation.</p>

[hydro11]

<p>Willis looks very good.</p>

[Mokey]

<p>Willis third in the semi, through to final.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Fuck I love Nigel Yalden commentating. He can make anything sound the most exciting thing ever.</p>

[Higgins]

<p>Tom into 4th after 21.20m in his second throw immediately followed up by the big Yank Crouser increasing his lead</p>

[Immenso Rapido]

Woah, thought the Great Wall was about to close up in front of Wilis about 70m out.

[Unco]

<p>Very good finish from Willis, went from nowhere to third in the last 30 odd metres.</p>

[mariner4life]

<p>Willis got in a couple of bad spots but always looked comfortable, and once he found a gap powered home to qualify</p>

[Higgins]

<p>Jacko's third throw is not an improvement but at this stage he is still sitting in 7th place, just inside the eight to continue on woth another three throws</p>

[Higgins]

<p>Tom nearly out to 22.00 metres with his third but it is red flagged, damn it. Worse news for Jacko as he ends up in ninthth by a small margin and misses the cut.</p>

[Mokey]

<p>Jacko Gill out, unfortunately couldn't put in a big throw when it mattered.</p>

A PB will get Walsh a bronze

[Higgins]

<p>Tom up now but not big enough (20.74m) to move up the ranks so still in 4th place</p>

[mariner4life]

<p>Fuck Ch7! The Aussie is out of the shot, so they are now showing the chicks javelin, on 2 fucking channels!!</p>

[Higgins]

<p>Come on Tom, need a big one in your 5th throw please</p>

[Higgins]

<p>Yes, he does it - now into bronze position with a 21.36m throw. Needs to get above 21.75m to move into silver</p>

[hydro11]

<p>Tom Walsh up to bronze now.</p>

[Donsteppa]

<p>Fuck off Mulligan and fuck off Sky, show us the live action from the shotput FFS.</p>

[Higgins]

<p>Last round starting now, fingers crossed for a big one from Tom.</p>

[Mokey]

<p>American throws a new Olympic record. Others jostling for the minors now, don't think anyone will catch him.</p>
