Harmse clinches hammer bronze
24/03/2006 11:50 - (SA)
Melbourne - Australia's Stuart Rendell
set a new Commonwealth Games record in winning the men's hammer
final on Friday as the home nation continued to dominate the
field events.
Rendell, who won gold at the 1998 Games in Kuala Lumpur,
sent his second effort sailing out to 77.53 metres, a mark that
was never threatened.
Canadian James Steacy picked up the silver with a heave of
74.75m and South Africa's Christian Harmse the bronze with
73.81m.
Australia had already won the women's event through Brooke
Krueger and also took the men's discus after Scott Martin's
last-gasp win on Thursday night.
