Fun story. Competed against Crouser in High School, obviously leagues ahead everyone here. But at the 2011 Oregon State championship, due to a hamstring injury (I believe), he only threw from a power stance and still won both Disc and Shot Put with ease. It was amazing to see such raw talent. Great guy all around.

UPDATE from 21/9/2023: Crouser has increased his WR to 23.57. There have only been 17 throws over 23.00m and Crouser has 13 of them. He has also thrown over 22m 240 times. I can't help wondering how he'd do in World's Strongest Man. Of course he's need to train for it but once he got some experience under his belt I think he'd do well, particularly in some of the more athletic events.

He would do extremely well but I'm more interested in how he'd perform in weightlifting. His unprecedented explosive ability to produce tremendous power output is ideal for snatching and jerking and he's about as big as Lasha.

Honestly, shot put is such an underrated event in Track and Field. It’s often overshadowed by more popular events such at the 100m and 1500m, but I’m so happy that legends such as Kovacs and Crouser are bringing the attention that this event deserves.

...and Walsh

I was a thrower in high school(2018) I looked up to Ryan Crouser and he pushed me to become a better thrower. Today he still holds the National HS discus record of 237'5" and a shot-put throw of 73'5". He threw both those throws in a SINGLE day(the video is on youtube somewhere). To put this in perspective how crazy this is. I only threw 160'+ and was top 10 in my state for 2018. Only a couple handful of kids throw 200'+ in the discus throw and 70'+ for shot-put in the WORLD. He will forever be the GOAT and his name widely is not known. He needs to throw discus next. I believe he could get the world record for sure.

It really puts into perspective how many athletes around the world could have been the greatest ever or one of the greats if they had kept competing or even started in the first place. For example, Ronnie Coleman the greatest bodybuilder of all time said recently he didn’t take bodybuilding seriously until he won the Mr. Olympia in the late 90s. If he had taken it less seriously or never even started we wouldn’t have witnessed greatness on the world stage. It really does make you feel that anyone can do anything, if given enough time and work ethic.

Absolute respect to all 3 (Crouser, Kovacs, and Walsh). While one came out the clear winner, the other two are not even close to being sad in both photos. All 3 knew they've made history and are best friends for life. Then again, this is my first time seeing a documentary-ish video on this topic, so I hope I'm not far off by the slightest.

Unfortunately, there is a big difference in payout and recognition between winning gold and anything else in these sports that are not followed by millions or billions of people. They may have been happy at the time to witness such great competition, but there are real consequences for not attaining first place in the Olympics, and I can’t imagine shot put pays very well as an occupation outside of the Olympics and other high level competitions.

Keep in mind, that steel ball weighs 16 pounds ( 7.26 kg ) . So it's the same weight as a professional bowling ball.

Their form and balance is incredible. I've never watched shot put in my life but they're incredible. It's impossible not to acknowledge their skills

I grew up surrounded by professional sportsmen (basketball,handball,table tennis,footbal) in high-school (Yugoslavia,Europe) and heard a lot of stories about different athletes. One was about our shot putting champion, at the time European champion Saračević who I saw in person after some local competition which was just part of his preparation for the Olympics. My handball friend who saw him train witnessed him dunking the basketball jumping from standing position and dude was HUGE. He was about 1,96-7 (6'6) and about 130kg (290 pounds). All athletes were unanimous that shot putters were the strongest humans without any doubt. Before people were arguing if weight lifters were stronger than gymnasts -- well shot putters beat them both,because they have the mass,strength and agility at unbelievable superhuman levels. Respect!

Don't forget in the 2019 World Champs that Romani also bettered the Championship record and recorded one of the best throws in history, but was well off the pace. You have to feel for him and Walsh. Walsh put out the 22.90 in the first round and spent the entire competition trying to better that mark putting out some absolutely massive throws which ended up being fouls. He wasn't to know that he would end up losing on countback - instead, he was focused on trying to put the shot further than anyone and history. Huge kudos to the man for his brave tactics in the competition!

There's something elegant watching the shot thrown from behind like that. It's easy to see whether or not there's a smooth acceleration both in the spin and the forward momentum combining into this Pirouette of Power.

I love your videos because of the way they are written. I know that when I click on one of your videos, I will learn something, I will be entertained, and I will end up having genuine interest in the subject matter, regardless if I was interested in it prior to me clicking on the video. I swear man, you could make a video on how amazing it is for paint to dry, and a paint drying world record that will never be broken, and youll have me hook, line and sinker

Yeah the difference between equivalent athletes in terms of strength and agility often comes down to who has the best technique, and minuscule changes can determine the outcome of a match.

It always is a very rare moment to find an individual who not only has the talent, but also the strength, the body and the motivation to become an athlethe on such a top and high quality level. Krauser does remind me of Mike Tyson who not only has the will, but also the body and the talent(being ambixdestrous) to reign in his chosen sport.

Crouser’s freakishly athletic for such an enormous guy. Y’all should watch some of his jump training videos. His best standing long jump is almost 11’ & he’s got a 34” flat-footed vertical leap. That might not sound that impressive on its face but’s mostly because verts tend to be wildly exaggerated. Crouser (whose 6’7” tall barefoot) scores better in the flat-footed vert than Dwight Howard (6’9”) & Blake Griffin (6’8 1/2”) were able to manage at the NBA combine. I’m not suggesting that Crouser could dunk over a car like Blake did when he won the NBA dunk contest back when but his specific impulse is pretty much off the charts. He competes at about 310-320 pounds. The only way you could create a better body for a shot-putter would be if you made him a bit shorter without reducing his wis wingspan.

Something very similar and probably more crazy occurred in a worlds weightlifting final. Ilya Ilyin competed against two other world class lifters. They had only 3 lifts. Each of them missed one. Then, all three of them broke the world record back to back on their last three lifts of the competition, with Ilya Ilyin tying the overall competition and winning by criteria (body weight). This is on that same level. It’s amazing what humans are producing in the area of athletic performance.

One of the early strongman champions from the 1980s was two time winner Geoff capes. He was a bronze medalist in the Olympics in shot put before he began competing in strongman contests. He also was a highland games champion.. There were so many stories from the old strong men about just how athletic and freakish capes was. The only guy who ever really beat him from his own generation, was Bill kazmaier. Nobody ever really faced capes in his prime. I think that krauser would be a great strong man athlete today.

I loved watching the Highland Games & Strongman as a kid! Late night ESPN programming was kinda bonkers in the ‘80s. It was so beautifully random. 😁

Awesome video! Don’t think people realise how impressive shot put athletes actually are.

I was always under the impression that the shot had to be in contact with the neck at the moment it was 'put' (thereby differentiating the technique from a 'throw'). Here, its easy to see a big gap between shot and neck, especially with Walsh, and the arm describing an arc. Maybe the rules have changed or been relaxed a bit?

This guy Crouser is incredible. Never watched shotput in my life but this made me become a fan of Crouser out of nowhere. What does this guy eat for breakfast?!

This was incredibly entertaining. No idea about the shot-put history. Thank you for showing this goat. He also broke is own record again in 2023, 23.56m.

It's one of those sports you wouldn't expect a small country like New Zealand to produce Shot Putters but fortunately being a proud sporting country they have had good support at home which has grown the sport and participation.

Got to watch Crouser break his own world record at the 2023 Simplot Games in idaho. It was kind of funny because it's a high school meet and he showed up and broke his record like it was just a halftime show.

As a sophomore in highschool I was throwing 50+ feet regularly. Coaches told me not to lift because it would hurt my form. Jr & sr year I just watched guys get bigger and pass me. I was pissed that my coaches were so clueless. I could have gotten a scholarship.

Very definition of good rivalry, pros competing against each other with their best and all coming in very close with one another. Truly fascinating.

You cut the audio and talked over the best part about that throw which was him celebrating right after the shotput left his hands he already knew that he had launched out what would be his best throw all time.

I love this content and production. However, as playing a senior year h.s. all star game and throwing in districts with Joe Kovac breaking the PA discus all-time record. Briefly skimming over his 6' 295 frame. Which I happen to be exactly also . What he has done with that frame compared to 6'7 320lb is by far as impressive if not more than Crouser. It pretty much defies physics and he needs more credit for helping make Ryan what he is today.

Kovacs is one of the best in the world but him being shorter doesn’t make him more impressive. You work with what you got. (Also, being a little shorter has advantages. A lower center of gravity helps with rotational speed & specific impulse.)

This seems like a weird philosophical question actually; it’s repeated throughout the video that the events that are about to take place are “near impossible”, absolutely mind blowing that it would happen in the final round, but it’s these guys. These guys make it such that the events that took place aren’t actually that improbable

Yeah it's very probably that an Olympic shot put athlete will put a shot at the shot put event, surely they'd put all else aside and give putting a shot put shot a shot

Absolutely incredible is a vast understatement

As a former high school and college shot putter I love seeing it get some love. While never in the same league as Walsh, Kovacs or Crowder I had my moments and still remember the excitement of my best throws almost 55 years later.

I unfortunately didn't take the sport serious when I did it yet was good although I only did it for a year I made it to the state finals and lost made it hard for me to take serious that I was able to do that but I guess the weight training from football really paid off in the end (435lbs bench max 535lbs squat max) wouldve eventually squatted more but I broke my leg senior year playing football

@DIMWIT ye But anything can happen right? God forbid something happen to him of anyone but Idk I was just concerned

the power in those spins is terrifying

His body transformation from high school to the olympics is impressive

This video made me feel like a qualified Olympic historian for a quick minute

How far? That was very far. Athletes are so unique and strong and so many ways they work on this. Just to remind you, be careful on throwing the ball very high. It's for your own good💪👍

I still don't know how I was there, but these guys are incredibles. Liked.

For all of us skinny-ass distance runners, the shot-put final in Doha was all we talked about for at least a week. It was terrific.

Thank you for this, nobody else does track and field very much.

team usa doped right before the last round 🤣. These thrower's balance and flexibility are just so good, doing all this powerful throws all the time without injury is a feat in itself.

Field and jumping events are so much more interesting than the track. So much strategy and mind games along with the pure athleticism

huge agile man, they move so elegantly at such high speed.

Not sure what’s more impressive: these amazing record breaking throws, or that incredible thumbnail!

Hey, those like.. "recording filters" you use to mix things up when you show the same footage multiple times In a row are visually great, but the wrong dates on them (saw one reading 1990, another January 1, 2000) are super confusing. Especially when they coincide with you verbally reading off a completely different date. I'd recommend either avoiding filters with dates written into them, or change the filter to match the date of the footage. Otherwise, super love the video 8D fantastic analysis of a really interesting piece of sports history 8D

He's the type of athlete that just hard work is never going to match. He's that comibation of near perfect athletic genetics, combined with said hard work. It's where you see there is no true physical equality, because you just can't ever hope to match the guy at his peak form unless you are of similar luck of the draw as far as genetic lottery, and will power and drive.

I've been through that 🙁 Playing Need for Speed Hot Pursuit with my brother. Hotting Up was the name of the race. I did my very best, barely touched a wall and got a new record. My bro tried next and he did a perfect race. Without hitting anything.

whole time i was waiting for that 23 meter throw, the end did NOT disappoint

Man how are they standing so close to that throw. It's terrifying for me.

As a Kiwi, we watched the Shot Put final with great expectations. For us, Tom Walsh was "The Man". Yes, it was a fantastic contest and was dominated by Crouser. So, congratulations to the World Record holder and defending and now current Gold Medal winner, Crouser. Cheers TRP. Great video.

My friend nick ponzio from high school broke all the national shot put records and got a full time scholarship to USC for shot putting, if anyone would beat these guys it’s him.

I don’t know anything about men’s shot put, nor have I ever watched it, or plan on watching it in the future. But I was absolutely glued to the screen for almost 17 minutes straight. Fantastic video 👍

Im baffled… I threw shotput for 3 years in highschool, we were taught to use our legs, that the majority of the power comes from the push off from the legs, and technique but watching them, they’re barely using the energy from their legs, they’re using the spin, but the majority of their power is basically just throwing it with their arms. They barely hop up at the end of the spin
