Published by OneNews on September 18, 2014

Kiwi shot putter Tom Walsh is back in the country after a whirlwind global season that's transformed his status in the sport.

The 22-year-old has been away for four months and has made huge strides in a short time, including winning a Silver medal at the Commonwealth Games as well as a bronze medal at the World Indoor Champs.

"What happened indoors gave me an idea that I could do it, but to be so consistent over a long period of time is great, it's great to know coming back that I'm almost at the top, I'm knocking on their door."
