<p>I think I'd say "questionable". Who knows - perhaps he's teamed up with a legendary shotput coach.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Be interesting to hear an explanation of that sort of rapid improvement.</p> -

Haaawwwwt -
<p>The swimming girls wear one-pieces for their events, so you don't really see how lean they are IMHO.</p>

<p> </p>
<p>No, he literally didn't make the cut. He wasn't in the last round. I'm not bagging Gill, not at at all, I'm not saying he shouldn't have been there or anything - he just didn't make the cut!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Classic case of wondering why Gill has been getting so much coverage, and Walsh hasn't.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Jeeze, some of you guys are touchy.</p> -
<p>Willis won't get near a medal I reckon. He does have a habit of getting himself boxed in for finals and not giving himself a chance. But there are plenty better than him so getting to the final is an achievement for him.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Great for Walsh, he really came from nowhere over the past year and a half. Now we have to see if he can push past 22m.</p> -

<p>The BMX is lethal. I glanced at the 1/4 finals yesterday, there was a lot of carnage. Strikes me as not really a proper sport, but I'd happily take us a medal of course.</p> -

<p>Each time I see a BMX story, I'm gutted for Sarah Walker. The run of injuries she had leading up to qualifying was seriously awful - and she would have been a medal contender.</p> -

<p> I reckon he can. The throw where he fouled by just losing his balance a little was quite a bit further than 21.36, commentator was saying it looked close to 22m.</p>
