Photo: PHOTOSPORTShot-putter Tom Walsh feels his form is getting close to where it should be as he looks to return to the top of the sport. Finishing second to local-rival Jacko Gill over the summer might have suggested that Walsh wasn't at his best, however he doesn't believe that was the case. Speaking from the United States, where he's preparing for the northern season, Walsh feels it was still one of his better New Zealand seasons. Walsh led the way on the world scene from 2016 to 2019, winning the World Championship title in 2017 and the indoor titles in 2016 and 2018. Walsh says it wasn't a matter of technical issues that was holding him back.
