SHOT PUT Jacko GILL 23,86m 5kg World Youth

Jacko GILL had made of the NEW ZEALAND school champs in Hastings 11 february a rendez vous to try to break the World Youth 5kg shot put record (23,23m) achieved by Polish Krystof BORZOZOWSKY at the youth Olympic Singapore last august where Jacko , ill , had to satisfy with the 2nd place and wanted a revenge. After 6 throws of the best ever shot put serie ever seen in the world , Jacko got his goal by breaking 3 times the world youth record with 23,26m , then 23,57m and finally 23,86m . A huge performance as Jacko has not even yet turned 16 and will be still throwing this implement next year , maybe for even more incredible distances !!! (note ; His last attempt slightly out of sector was over 24m !)
