Kiwi shot putter Tom Walsh has added another title to his growing collection in winning Commonwealth Games gold at Carrara Stadium on Monday.
The 26-year-old New Zealander started with a somewhat subdued 20.40m, improving to 21.21m in the second round, before a fourth-round 21.41 gave him some breathing room.
Walsh, the indoor and outdoor world champion, couldn't quite match his qualifying 22.45m from earlier on Monday, but was still a comfortable winner over Nigeria's Chukwuebuka Enekwechi's third round 21.14.
