This is a fantastic achievement for him when we know that he did better than Dan Mc KIM, the World record holder.
His throw (43.61 m) is a new record in Bressuire.
Congratulations,Craig!
Enthousiastic spectators:
Thousands gathered in Bressuire for the Games and, of course, the spectators were delighted by the show.
And after the first day, the throwers were also very pleased to sign autographs for their supporters.
Stay tuned! There is much more to come on the blog.

See you soon
