Victorian 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.

Nicholas Antonino was second and former winner Isaac Dunmall was third.

Kieren Mundine, the first cousin of former rugby league and boxing great Anthony Mundine, slipped at the start and came home fifth.

The women’s Gift was won by 16-year-old Bella Pasquali in 13.55 off a mark of 7.25m, with 2015 winner Grace O’Dwyer claiming second spot.

It was revenge of sorts for the Pasquali family, as Bella’s mother Anna had finished second to O’Dwyer eight years ago.
