<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>

<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>

[Higgins]

<p>Entering the circle, the crowd hushes hoping for a big one. Come on Tom</p>

[Rembrandt]

Whats up with the shaved armpits?

[Rembrandt]

God I'd love Walsh to pull a michelle carter

[Higgins]

[Rembrandt]

[hydro11]

<p>AWESOME.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I wonder why I've heard about Jacko Gill for so many years, but never heard of Tom Walsh.  And then Tom Walsh beats him at his own game at the olympics!!</p>

[Bovidae]

<p>A great effort by Walsh and Gill (given the circumstances of his buildup and injury).</p>

[taniwharugby]

<p>Gill was a wonder kid, so expect that's why?</p>

[Unco]

<p>Good shit from Walsh. That's five medals today.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>TBH I'm a bit skeptical of that new OR. Always thought all of those 70s/80s records were rife with roided out Yanks and Soviets.</p>

<p>Sounds like Gill did well just to make it there given a recent foot injury.</p>
