Gold "I didn't have a nice qualification round but I thought if I did the big one in the final I would be in with it. However, I never thought about the gold, maybe 4th or 5th. Yet then I throw 88m, a personal best by five metres!" -Steve Backley, GBR -Silver "I am absolutely delighted to stuff the Greek on the last throw. However, I am gutted to take Mick Hill in the process I have such a mixture of emotions, as Mick has been such a great inspiration over the years. -Kostas Gatsioudis, GRE -Bronze "I've worked really hard and I believe this medal belonged to me. I probably could have won the silver medal but I was unlucky since Steve Backley defeated me in his final throw. I believe I won a place in the top list for future major meetings. My special thanks to the Greek fans"
