Tomasz MAJEWSKI - Poland - 2008 Olympic Shot Put Champion (result)
The top right photo above shows an ecstatic Tomasz celebrating after he had produced a fantastic new personal best of 21.51m during the final of the mens Shot Put at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing. That terrific put extended his lead in the gold medal position - he had earlier recorded 21.21m - and despite Christian Cantwell's valiant last round effort of 21.09m it was Majewski who claimed the gold medal. It was his first medal of any sort at a major championship and it doesn't come any better than gold at the Olympic Games! The left hand pictures show Majewski during his new PB put of 21.51m.
