@machpants Of the athletes not throwing 18.80, Wesche is the third best (11th over all) at the moment. If that's correct, she's through!

Val and Maddie through

Waiting to start when they pan the camera across all the starters. He raises his left arm straight towards the centre of the track field, looks down his arm, then using the baton "pulls" the "bow string" and fires.

Momentarily thought I was watching Eastbound and Down.

I love watching people who run twice the distance as me in the same amount of time.

Argentina score again.

Full time: NZ 1 - 4 Argentina

It's Olympic Games over for the men's Black Sticks.
