[QUOTE="james5000, post: 659772, member: 53353"] Men's Shot put is the event i am most looking foward to at these games I'm a big fan of Jacko Gill and I am hoping he can turn it up at these games. Tom Walsh another kiwi is probably the favourite at this stage being ranked number 1 coming in to the games. Jacko Gill is a physical phenomenon at only 19 years old he is already one of the stronger blokes on the world scene, but its his explosiveness and speed which is his greatest attribute. He can run 100m under 12 seconds and has vertical leap of over 40 inches. Tom Walsh has improved so much in the last 12 months its hard to believe he's not on some kind of performance enhancing drug. He's also one of the relatively physically weakest competitors at world level but his technique more than makes up for his physical short comings. I have heard a world leading shot put coach suggest that if you gave Jacko Gill Tom Walsh's technique he'd shatter the world record and I'd probably agree. I have read Jacko Gill is a real introvert and does most of his training and physical conditioning without a coach. I hope if that is true that it doesn't effect his progress in the future because I reckon he could potentially be our greatest athlete. [/QUOTE]
