Australian Matthew Denny won discus gold and took off around the track in celebration, while Cedric Dubler is in the frame to move from supporting actor to lead role in the decathlon.

Matthew Denny took off down the back straight of the athletics stadium in Birmingham, a large man in lycra bounding away, screaming with a flag on his shoulders and all the speed and endurance of a bowls player. Fortunately, he can throw a plate a long way because as a runner, he makes a very good discus thrower.

“I was glad I replicated on that last one, even though you could have gone ‘Pack it in, it’s easy done’, but I wanted to make that statement again and finish off that series.“This is my first senior title other than world unis, you live for these moments ... this is just the start. More to come.” England’s Lawrence Okoye, a man mountain and former NFL-listed player with the San Francisco 49ers and a handful of other NFL clubs, won silver with 64.99m.If the Olympics offered best supporting actor medals to go with the regular gold, silver, and bronze, then last year Cedric Dubler took the prize.

“I wouldn’t say this is my moment yet, that is still coming. I am certainly on the right track, you have to be patient with that, but there is more to come. It feels nice to be out here and up in medal contention so far and on the right track to getting my own medal on the world stage,” Dubler said.
