Throwing nearly a metre further than his PB earlier this year. He's had a meteoric rise.</p></blockquote>

<p>Willis looked very comfortable in his semi - I'd love to see him throw caution to the winds and take off 400 metres from home and make the others chase him - though I guess he knows what he's doing.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>edit: Snap, Sammy. Didn't see the interview - why's he tired, staying up too late on the computer?</p> -

<p>He said he expected to have more legs coming into the last 250 metres.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Said he was lucky that others faded also.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Reminds me of London 4 years ago, where he faded at the end of all his races.... but I'm still holding out hope, despite his obvious personality flaws (well discussed on here) he's been an absolute legend for NZ athletics. Has helped a lot of young runners on their journey.</p> -
<p>wait, enjoying a wank in front of the computer is a personality flaw now? </p>

<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> -
