abc.net.au/news/stawell-gift-wins-for-tarrant-and-pasquali/102205856Victorian teenager Ryan Tarrant has won the 141st edition of the men's Stawell Gift in a photo finish.
The 18-year-old from Colac flashed across the finish line in a time of 12.23 seconds off a mark of 3.75 metres.Kieren Mundine, the first cousin of former rugby league and boxing great Anthony Mundine, slipped at the start and came home fifth."I don't really know what to say. Just wow. I didn't expect it. So, to come out and win that is, well, out of this world a bit."The women's Gift was won by 16-year-old Bella Pasquali in 13.55 off a mark of 7.
It was revenge of sorts for the Pasquali family, as Bella's mother Anna had finished second to O'Dwyer eight years ago."I can't believe it. I've seen my mum come second a fair few times, especially to Grace. It's just so exciting. I'm just shocked."
