Great Britain's Aled Davies wins bronze in shot put

Aled Davies has won Great Britain's first track and field medal at the London Paralympics after finishing third in the F42/44 shot put.

Davies earned the bronze medal with a throw of 13.78m for a total of 961 points, and has said that he was pleased with his performance.

"It was a really hard competition but I was confident," the 21-year-old Welshman told BBC Radio Five Live.

"There were some big champions and world record holders so I knew I had to pull something big out of the bag."

Davies finished 26 points behind second-placed Darko Kralj of Croatia, with Denmark's Jackie Christiansen winning the gold medal.
