Show Notes
Maddison-Lee Wesche claimed the silver medal in a thrilling women’s shot put final at the Paris 2024 Olympics this morning.
Yemisi Ogunleye of Germany emerged as the ultimate champion, but not before a nail-biting battle with Wesche for the top spot.
For most of the final, Wesche held the lead. However, Ogunleye had a remarkable final round throw, stealing the lead from the Kiwi athlete.
Piney caught up with Wesche for a chat about her incredible achievement.
She told him that she’s pretty happy, liking the feeling of throwing a personal best at the Olympics and getting a silver medal, though she would’ve liked the gold.
