Mens Shot Put

The shot put is one sport that spans through the ages to Ancient Greece. Australia’s defending Commonwealth Games champion Scoitt Martin – famous for his commercial in which he turned to ballet to improve his balance – will go head-to-head with fellow Victorian Dale Stevenson. The pair have vowed to shake the stadium with their cannon ball-like throws. The strong men have guaranteed their entertaining - and lung-busting - power shoot-out and will leave no-one guessing as to who is Australia’s best shot putter. Rugby League’s one-time wild child Mark Geyer will showcase the power and strength that allowed him to survive tough State of Origin and premiership battles by matching his muscles with the dynamic duo, while Sydney heavyweight Mixed Martial Arts fighter Lucas 'Big Daddy' Browne will join Geyer in putting his beef behind this contest for charity. Once described by well respected fight commentator Andy Raymond as a "130kg wrecking ball" he'll attempt to mix it with the nation's best. Brrowne has a reputation for being a versatile athlete having played rugby league for the Parramatta Eels, competing at state level in athletics while he's now forging a formidible record in the fight world. How will he go? Meet promoters are currently working out a way to challenge Big Daddy and to reward his nominated charity if he succeeds.
