The NZL double at the Birmingham commonwealth games men shot put was expected . What was not, was the great fight between the 2 kiwis favourites with Jacko GILL challenging Tom WALSH until the last throw , forcing him to break the 22m line after setting himself a new 21.90m PB (see the competition video) . Behind this progression , there is a lot of work , a few less kilog of body weight (Therefore more speed) and the return to some more efficient technical options. If he keeps going in this new orientation , Jacko can have some good reasons to hope that in his next big objective , the Paris 2024 Olympics , he will not be coming to make the numbers , and not anymore to have to satisfy with top 8 final spot .
