    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.

    I've seen a few gripes about swimmers being able to win multiple gold medals at the Olympics, but I expect no such complaints about that in the kayaking 🙂
