Connor Bell improves on his New Zealand Resident Discus Record
Pre-Potts Open Pole Vault and Throws Meeting, Mitre 10 Sports Park, Hawke’s Bay – 18 January 2023
Connor Bell improved on his New Zealand resident discus record and set a fresh New Zealand national record with a throw of 66.14m. This added 1.85m to the resident mark and broke Ian Winchester’s national record of 65.03m set in California in 2002. Bell’s series of throws were 65.00, x, 60.82, 63.92, 66.14, “It’s a cool thing to set the record because Ian threw the mark 21 years ago and I’m 21 years old. By setting the record it means New Zealand discus throwing is in a good space and generally New Zealand throwing is in a good space. I’m super rapt, but I’m not going to hang my hat on it, I feel like I’m just warming up,” said Bell.
