Tom Walsh has won the 2018 Indoor World Athletics Championships.

The kiwi shot putter twice threw 22.13m in the early rounds.

In his final round, with the gold medal secured, Walsh then hurled the shot out a further 18cm for a championship, Oceania record and New Zealand record distance of 22.31m.

There was also new records for New Zealand pole vaulter Eliza McCartney, who narrowly missed out on a medal with a fourth-place finish but still managed a new best Oceania and New Zealand mark of 4.75m in the process.

It was a commendable effort as the 2016 Olympic bronze medallist continued her return from an injury.

Walsh’s victory means has won the last three world shot put titles he has contested and further strengthens his favouritism heading into next month’s Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coast. i think the was hard to Cary it. it may be hard. but he win it that is the end
