It's slightly probably different from most events in that there is probably as many as eight guys capable of winning the olympics. I think in other events there are maybe two or three. But there are a lot of guys around capable of throwing 90 metres, which is likely to win the games and I am glad to say I am one of them. It's good to be a contender and like I say preparations are going very well." 13. SIDE SHOT PRESS CONFERNCE IN PROGRESS Initials Script is copyright Reuters Limited. All rights reserved
