Commonwealth Games 2022 Athlete Matthew Denny Wins Gold In Discus Throw, His Family Details Explained

The men's discus competition was won by Matt Denny, who had an outstanding performance that destroyed his competition.

The Australian athlete was on fire from the first throw he took, and as he finished on a high note, he threw back-to-back personal bests.

Denny's best effort was 67.26 meters, which put him well ahead of England's silver medalist Lawrence Okoye, who threw 64.99 meters. Nobody else came close to Denny's distance.

After Denny's triumph, Okoye interrupted his interview with Channel 7's Jason Richardson by letting out a thunderous yell. He then told television viewers in Australia how much he adores the gold medalist. The interview became an instant classic as a result.

Matthew asserts that his parents and siblings play a significant role in shaping his life and have been an incredible source of assistance and support.
