I'm sure we'll be better for it though. They did well, at least better than the womens! Whom still had a good match despite losing their final game themselves.

Willis came in 3rd!! :clap2: well done champ!!!

 

[kia ora storm]

Well done by Willis...brilliant.

 

[Manu Vatuvei]

I can't believe we won a medal on the track, I think I'm more psyched about that than the golds

Very impressive from Willis considering he was back in 6th entering the home straight. He must be pretty cool. Any medal on the track is huge.

 

[Dr Crane]

It's huge, it's probably the medal of the Olympics for us.

It's been a pretty good games, all up.

Yep, it's the 1500m, prolly NZs most revered track event thanks to Peter Snell and co. Good to see the glory days aren't entirely over!

Was sensational, set my alarm for it especially

Geat to see a scrawny little white runt bringing home a medal against the Kenyans and co

 

[byrne_rovelli_fan82]

In fairness, compared to his competitors Willis is a big man. Despite what Wayne Pearce might have you believe, black does not = big.

 

[Beavers Headgear]

LOL, was more about the fact that when i look at him his arms look about the size of a twig
