Athlete Profiles
Justin Anlezark
21
In Beijing Justin joined countryman Scott
Martin in the shot put, making it the first Olympics since
Melbourne in 1956 that Australia was represented by two male shot
putters.
A solid opening throw (19.91m) put Justin in a strong position to
make the final of the Olympics. However, unable to improve on that
mark, he exited the competition in the qualifying round, finishing
ninth in group B and 16th overall.
