| Other information | COMM GAMES EXPERIENCE He was disappointed to only win silver in the 2010 Commonwealth Games after leading the competition up until the final round, but he's hoping he can use what he learned in future events. "Getting the gold would have been nice in Delhi but the experience gained by what happened is sometimes more valuable, especially looking towards the Olympics and world championships. After getting such a good series of throws over 72 metres I have gained a lot of confidence for the competitions coming up in the future." (thisishullandeastriding.co.uk, 11 Oct 2010) |
