Description: An astronomer has seen something amazing as he looks through an enormous telescope at the night sky. He says to his companion 'It's not a falling star - it's a Valerie Adams shot put.' Context: Valerie Adams, (formerly Viti) the 26-year-old sensation hurled the sphere a whopping 21.24m, a world championship record-equalling throw, to win her third successive world shot put title in the early hours of this morning (30 August 2011). Her coach Jean-Pierre Egger, who was in Switzerland and wasn't able to make the event, asked Adams to 'throw as long as possible until you reach the stars'. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
