WHO SAID WHAT?
"Whenever he used to go to the pub back home, he used to tell everyone about me. To lose him so close to the competition, this was for him, I know up in the clouds he's sucking on a few VBs and crying and being so proud of me" - Col Pearse after winning a silver medal in the fortnight since his grandfather's death.
"I knew when I crossed the line that I'd won from the giant screen. I couldn't keep my eyes off it." - After seeing Australian partner Jarryd Clifford narrowly denied two podiums, and finishing fourth in her long jump, New Zealand's Anna Grimaldi (T47) won gold in the 200m.
