THE Isle of Wight had a bumper day on the third day of the Island games yesterday, adding another eight medals to their haul.

Pick of the bunch was 20-year-old Andy Frost who beat his own 1999 Island games record of 55.93 metres to win the hammer with a massive 59.36 in the Isle of Man - nearly ten metres ahead of his nearest rival Antonis Karayiannis from Rhodos.

Frost added another placing to his own personal record when he was fifth in the men's shot putt.

In the swimming pool, Elizabeth Kreuz added a gold in the 50m women's butterfly and a silver in the 100m backstroke to her 200m freestyle silver on Monday.

She swam 1 minute 5.01 seconds in the backstroke to lose out by just a second to Shauna Powell of the Cayman Islands while her gold medal performance saw her beat defending 50m butterfly champion Emma Hirst from Jersey into second place when she swam 29.70 seconds.

David Russell, 29, also bagged his third medal of the games when he picked up a bronze medal in the men's 100m butterfly. That went with the 200m butterfly gold and 200m individual medley bronze he won on Monday.

Staying with swimming, Tim Ashwell was also in the medals again when he added a 50m breaststroke bronze to his 100m breaststroke bronze. Simon Hobson was seventh in the 50m event.

The ladies swimming team added a 4x50m medley relay bronze to the 4x50 freestyle medal bronze.

Back on the track, 17-year-old Bryony Frost collected a bronze medal for her run in the women's 800m final - completing her two-lap distance in 2 minutes 21.09 seconds.

The island's table tennis team, led by former British number one Carl Prean, served up a gold medal in the team event.

They beat Gotland 4-3 to clinch victory. Prean was joined on the victory rostrum by team-mates Daniel Burns, Roger Hookey, Lucy Pointer and Pauline Rorke.

After day three the island was in fifth position in the medals table, behind Jersey, hosts Isle of Man, Gotland and Guernsey.
