After a successful summer circuit in New Zealand, Kiwi shot-putter Tom Walsh is gearing up for a year of international competitions. 

The Diamond League is only a few weeks away and the Commonwealth Games are set for July through to August in Glasgow. 

But Walsh told Mike Hosking that despite performing well over the summer, his results weren’t quite what he wanted them to be, distance-wise. 

“This is kind of the part where you’ve really got to trust what you’re doing,” Walsh said. 

“Sometimes you’ve kind of got to, y’know, take a few hits early season to help you line up later in the season when, when things really count.” 

“The Commonwealth Games is what we’re really working towards, and sometimes you’ve got to step back, and remind yourself of that.”
