    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.

    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.

      Then how come it always turns out that athletes are on shit? I'm sure the Michael Johnson types all survived many rounds of testing at many levels of athletics before the olympics or whatever. Isn't it an arms race between pharmacists and testing? I just have trouble believing that in 2024 there is an elite strength athlete who doesn't take anything, since I know personally half a dozen guys juicing for no reason other than that it's available and they have varying levels of commitment to lifting. These are just local gymrats with nothing on the line but curls for the girls. Put millions of dollars on the line and people's entire self-worth as a being and the idea of clean participants starts to get a little laughable? How is he beating the juiced athletes? The idea of a clean powerlifter beating a juiced one is almost unthinkable. The difference between a natty lifter and a roided one is an entirely different level of "sport", they aren't even in the same atmosphere, there's barely any similarity beyond basic human anatomy@@BurrytheBee

      @@jimmylittle1983 No one born to this earth can squat 800lb naturally. The drug tests are done within a rather large range as to account for "hormonal anomalies". Really this just means they can all get away with abusing low to medium cycles of testosterone all year round. Unlike things like cocaine that show up in the blood, there are lots of steroids/hormones that do not appear in the blood, so testing is based on the levels of certain hormones/chemicals that are naturally occuring, but may have elevated levels. These ranges of chemicals in the blood are used as markers to determine what is a normal level, and what is an elevated level. Because of this finding a range that can actually determine who is doping and who isn't is very difficult and subjective. Lots of athletes become athletes because they were born with higher testosterone/other genetics that benefit power/muscle growth. The tests therefore create lots of false positives. To account for these false positives and not discriminate against athletes born with these genetic gifts, the doping tests have a very large range, which leaves lots of room for people to moderately abuse gear.

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.

    Watching a big man wind up, spin, and throw like that without tripping over the board and falling flat on his face is a thing of beauty. I started throwing the shot put in my junior year of high school for our varsity track team. I joined because I could throw it as far as my other two friends that were already doing it. What's funny is the coaches didn't even bother working with us. They were working the freshmen and sophomores. I think they viewed us as a lost cause, and looking back I can't blame them. We never took it seriously. We hardly ever went to practice. We'd just show up on Saturdays and get a ribbon every once in a while. I had absolutely no form. None uf us did, other than lunging backwards towards the board, then turning and pushing the heavy ball off your chin. I can definitely see the advantage of the windup, and it looks amazing!

      Windup looks surreal to me.
      In middle school we had a shot put lesson during p.e. once, and I had much fun. So I joined the track team just for that. Well... it was horrible experience. Bastard coach taught me nothing. Didn't even try. Was too busy training his daughter and two sons who were all mid to long runners. He insisted I pick up some distance and a few field disciplines too. But I hated running, was extra slow, wasn't interested in long jump, kept failing high jump to the point my body would just refuse to jump from fear of hitting the bar again, and didn't want to do discuss throws. I just wanted to do shot put. And almost never got time for it. Mandatory training (running/sprints) would often take up all practice. Sun would be down and everybody going home. When I asked about shot put practice I was told I was free to stay and do it. In the dark.
      So I started coming early in the morning, 7 am, just to practice before school. I would squat and then throw as I knew nothing. Till coach of tennis team took pity on me and got some info on the form. Improved dramatically. The lunge variation. Broke school record at practice but only a few people were watching and we never measured it properly. I know I broke it cuz it was 10.80 and I got over 11m line. Coach ignored me. Said to do it during actual competition.
      That weekend was competition day. And I got put into 4x4 relay. Which came during shot put so I had to run first. By the time we were done shot put was also done. And I was done with the bs. Returned uniform the next day and quit.

It was mostly the shot put guys, which is how I qualified. They called it the "Fat Man Relay." I don't know if today's climate of always being politically correct would allow for such a thing. Each team consisted of four runners and we'd have to run one whole lap each. I was a ringer since I technically wasn't fat at 6 ft tall and a fairly lean 180 lbs. I definitely was not a sprinter because I hated running too. But I could run faster than all the other guys competing in the Fat Man relay. I could pretty comfortably run the lap and get my team the lead. It's kinda funny, looking back now I think I had more fun competing in those Fat Man Relays than throwing the shot put, lol.

    At the risk of sounding boastful I never once lost a competition in my entire career, but I wasn't good enough to make the England junior squad, my throws were just not long enough to be considered, but against the twelve or thirteen schools in the South East London area I was unbeatable, even, as I say, when I entered the whole of London championship at Crystal Palace in 1981.

    i was a discus and shot put proidgy in middleschool i reached 140ft in disc by 8th grade and 39ft in 7th grade for shot. i became an alcoholic in 8th grade and later a drug addict. to this day my biggest regret isn’t the drugs or drinking it’s that i gave up on the one thing that gave me actual long term gratification, being recognized for doing good. i am now 18 and 6 months sober and this video while amazing brought up some strong emotions. i will never forget how much my 5-6th grade coach, coach McKay helped me. he was a cool guy and almost an olympic athlete in 2002. I will always love throwing sports and hope my kid some day picks up where i left off. I’m also only 5’9” and a big build so i would have had a hard time if i continued. i stopped growing at 13.

      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.

    The finesse and power you need to be successful in shotput is truly something you can't appreciate unless you've tried it yourself.

      Well even as interesting as the video is and as respectable as the players are, it doesn't look like an interesting sport let alone a sport to watch and while you're competing for rank you're not directly competing against other players.
      It would be more interesting if they added another layer via having target indicators for an actual score system rather than raw distance, which would add a layer of necessary accuracy into the mix. Have players use different colored balls and have all balls remain on the field visually and have knocking other balls out of place a valid strategy. Could even make it more interesting by having up to 2-4 players go at once spaced out around the target circle. There could be a 6-12 ball limit and you can throw as fast as you wish in real time with no turns. No ceremonial waiting for each to go in sequence. Making for a quicker high energy sport to watch an explosive burst of activity in between other major highlight sports.
