Wanda Diamond League Olympic Stadium - Stockholm (SWE) 4th July 2021 Flash Quotes TIMING, RESULTS SERVICE & DISTANCE MEASUREMENT BY Tajay GAYLE (JAM) Long Jump Men - 1st Yeah I'm very pleased and this was a reminder for the future that I can get into those regions, where I was and maybe even better. Q: What are your hopes for the remainder of the season, you must be very confident going into the remainder of the year? A: I was always confident to be honest with you. I'm settled in the Europe circuit and have been travelling for 3 or 4 years now. I'm surprised I jumped that far because my feet have not really been responding and I was tired after the golden meet in Brussels. But I'm very very pleased and very happy with the result. 04.07.2021 16:23 Thobias MONTLER (SWE) Long Jump Men - 3 The jumping was great today, a PB is always good but I think there is more to go!

Nick Willis Discipline: Middle Distance Running Specialist Events: 800M and 1500M
CHAT with a Olympic Education CHAMPION Nick Willis Discipline: Middle distance running Specialist events: 800m and 1500m Nick Willis was born in Lower Hutt (near Wellington) in 1983.Running talent obviously runs in the Willis family, as Nick and his brother Steve are the only brothers in the history of New Zealand to run a mile in less than 4 minutes. When he was at Hutt Valley High School in January 2001, Nick became the fastest New Zealand student to run a mile in just 4 minutes and 1.33 seconds. After high school, Nick was awarded an athletics scholarship at the University of Michigan in the United States of America. He thrived in the environment, and his running went from strength to strength. He represented New Zealand at the 2004 Athens Olympic Games and the 2005 World Championships, reaching the semi- final each time. At the 2006 Melbourne Commonwealth Games, Nick took the Gold Medal in the 1500m. In 2008, he reached the final of the 1500m at the Beijing Olympic Games. After a tight race, Nick finished third to claim the Bronze Medal. In 2009, the winner of the race, Rashid Ramzi, was disqualified because of a positive drug test. So Nick’s Bronze Medal was upgraded to a Silver. (For further information on Nick’s experiences at the 2008 Olympic Games, see “It Pays to Play Fair” in the Living the Olympic Values resource, http:// www.olympic.org.nz/education/living-olympic-values) At the 2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi, Nick was recovering from knee surgery, but he didn’t let this stop him from winning the Bronze Medal.

As the date of the Opening Ceremony approaches, and athlete selection announcements begin to flow, we look forward to welcoming new Olympians into the New Zealand Olympian whanau. It’s clear that these Games will be conducted in challenging circumstances. Our athletes are preparing for a tough and very different Olympic Games experience. News that international spectators will not be able to attend the Games (while understandably necessary) is a blow, especially for competing athletes and their families. Because of these international travel restrictions, NZOC and its partners have sought new ways for New Zealanders to show their support. Some fantastic national and regional events are planned (we had a sneak preview at our last Olympians Commission meeting. Read more below about the Great Olympic Skate Roadshow which will be visiting 40 towns in 41 days, kicking off on Monday May 10th, with Olympians from all Games set to join for parts of the journey.
