GFW777 there’s always one.

Imagine it’s 1775, you are in a cargo ship sailing in the high seas. In the distance you see a pirate ship. You prepare for the worst. But as it inches closer, you realise it doesn’t have canons. Not a single one. You are now just 20m away from the pirate ship. You wonder what they would do as they have no apparent weapons. Suddenly, a dozen men appear on the deck of that pirate ship, with lead balls held on their cheeks. You weren’t prepared. “I wasn’t prepared.” reads your tombstone.

To be fair, in 1775, there was no one that could throw nearly as far as 20m.

The 8 longest throws in world championship history were thrown in this competition alone: 1. Kovacs 22.91 T-2. Crouser 22.90 T-2. Walsh 22.90 4. Crouser 22.71 5. Walsh 22.56 6. Romani 22.53 T-7. Crouser 22.36 T-7. Crouser 22.36

No talk of technological advancements here! Just raw talent on display!

it's been good to see the other Kiwi, Jacko Gill, gradually increasing his disances in the years following this event. At the Commonwealth Games in 2022 he set his new best of 21.90 to finish second behind Tom Walsh's 22.26m. He has had health issues (myocarditis hospitalised him for 12 days before Xmas 2017) and was the best junior thrower in the world by a mile, setting WR in every age group at every weight. He is the youngest ever world junior champion, winning the world juniors at 15 before winning the world juniors again at 17. Props to him for never giving up. Next step for him will be 22m+

This immediately became my favorite competition when I saw it

When you throw 22.90m and in the stat sheet all you get is - PB

Wow...this is one of the most impressive athletic events I've ever seen. SO many records broken! I love when athletes fuel eachother via their amazing performances

It is very exciting to watch. Superb efforts from all competitors but what an exciting finish.

Glad to see the Worlds' Strongest Man competitors found an Olympic sport.

The olympics shot put has just started

As a runner, I've always gravitated to the weight guys after meets. There's a kinda gruff, rowdy but friendly brotherhood with these guys. Runners are generally self absorbed, somewhat vain and mostly unsociable during meets. But these guys who hurl the disc, fling the hammer, spin the shot: They're real people !! They're joke around , talk a little trash, BUT I've always watched them help each other iron out their techniques, slap each other's backs after a throw(good or bad) encourage each other. They are , no doubt, truly a close knit brotherly love group. Unlike the sprinters, There is no animosity or hard grudges..

Great competition and what a fun commentator too

3rd place was 99% of the world record. In discus, this would be 73.40m for 3rd place. Crazy!

This is still not the "full competition".. showing every attempt (for field events) is what "full competition" means. At least show the top performance for each competitor, in addition to other notable performances. Tim Nedow and Armin Sinancevic don't appear at all in this video, while the top throws for Hill, Bukowiecki, and Mihaljevic are absent. I understand editing constraints, but this seems really doable.. If editing really is the issue, then field event fans would be delighted with an unedited live stream of the event. In fact that would probably be preferable.
