    Relay heats and Saffas dropped baton on the first change. Didn’t even look like the guy had his hand out to receive it. Amateur hour

    Tom back up into 3rd with a throw over 22m, there's some monster throwing out there today (metaphorically).

    Not anymore. Kovacs has distanced himself from Walsh. Tom has a decent advantage over the Brazilian in 4th.

    Great, improved throw from Walsh, but he stays at bronze. Awesome result with 22.47m (season best).

    Wow, Crouser has thrown 23.30m! Well-deserved gold medal. So good!

    Yeah, Walsh saved his best for last. Crouser was 65 cm ahead of the rest. 😲

    Not a bad result from the NZ shotputters, with two bronze (Adams and Walsh) and 6th for rookie Wesche. Gill will probably be a bit disappointed he didn't make the top 8.
