WELLINGTON (Reuters) - World indoors bronze medallist Tom Walsh will snap back to reality next week but not before he has a few days to soak up the thrill of winning his 'Goliath v Goliath' shot put battle at the New Zealand athletics championships on Saturday.
The first clash in two years between Walsh and world junior record holder Jacko Gill had created such interest in New Zealand's athletic championships, officials felt they were riding a wave of interest and anticipation not witnessed in the sport in the rugby-mad country since the 1970s.
