Event 3 – Shot Put – Third Attempt

Ginsberg – Passes as it would take a personal best toss to beat his current distance

Nielsen – Happy with his current result, Nielsen also passes

Bafou – with a score on record, Bafou picks up his effort, but it is wasted when he fouls.

Palmiero – Palmiero still looking to improve on his poor first attempt, lines up, spins, tosses, he’s off balance…and he steps out of the ring…that’s a foul and Octavio is going to be stuck with the result from his first subpar effort.

Schaplowsky – Takes his 3rd turn, he launches, and almost immediately turns to walk off…there’s not white flag, so it isn’t a foul, but the toss is well short of his previous attempt and he must have know it almost immediately…distance is 50’

Peltonen - On his 3rd attempt he fouls – so his first throw ends up being the one of record.

Honcho – Waves off his 3rd attempt…

Mighty – Wanting to try for a big score, Mighty really goes after his final attempt, and it isn’t going to matter as the white flag is raised. He must have hit the toe board.

Chilton – Not surprisingly Chilton finds himself at the bottom of the leaderboard in this event…so he wants another go to try an better his result. He tosses and it’s a clean throw, but not a good one. It measures in at 46’ 5” – so no improvement this time around.

Path – Passes his final attempt – not a surprise considering the Russian has tied his personal best in this event

Babson – The extra rest continues…passes on his turn for the 4th time already this meet.

Ketola – With a nice lead in the event, Ketola has elected to rest.

Llyw – Wanting to improve on his current throw, Llyw takes his 3rd chance, and goes through the routine, tosses and it appears short of his 47’ 10” throw from the second attempt. The official measurement confirms my suspicion as it’s reported at 46’ 4”

Rambis Jr – Rambis passes again on, as he continues to get treatment on his injury

Jordan – Passes his last attempt.
