Tom Walsh is in the winners circle again after dominating the shot out event at the IAAF World Challenge in Zagreb. 

The Olympic bronze medallist battling heavy winds and the falling rain at City Fountains Park.

With the rest of the field struggling to cope with the conditions, Walsh cruised to victory throwing a best of 21.98m - runner up Darrell Hill could only muster 21.50.

"I'm in a good place now," Walsh told interviewers for Croatian National TV.

"I'm feeling really good with the World Championships coming soon."

Walsh's tong time friendly foe Joe Kovacs also managed to breach the 21-metre line, throwing 21.22 in round four to round out the podium trio.
