Tom Walsh has one goal ahead of this year's Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coast.
Win.
The Kiwi shot putter told 1 NEWS today he's heading to next month's event with extra drive to claim a gold medal that he's yet to savour.
"I'm going to the Comm Games to win, for sure," Walsh said.
"It's one of the medal's I don't have."
Lucky for the Kiwi shot putter, he'll enter the event in good form after winning gold at this month's Indoor World Championships in Birmingham with a record-breaking throw of 22.31m.
Walsh also added the World Championship medal last year in London with a throw of 22.03m.
"To break the indoor games record, my form mustn't be that bad," he joked.
"I'm going really well, I'm really happy with where I'm at... I've got a three week window before I throw in the Gold Coast so that gives me a lot of time to freshen up."
Walsh is competing for the first time in years in front of a home crowd tomorrow when he takes on some of the world's best at the Timaru Super Shot - a friendly meet the town has put on to welcome home their sporting hero from Birmingham.
