Crouser Wins Third Olympic Shot Put Gold

News summary

Ryan Crouser made history by winning his third consecutive Olympic gold medal in the men's shot put at the Paris Games, overcoming a challenging year marked by injuries. His winning throw of 22.90 meters secured his place as the first athlete to achieve this feat in the event. Fellow American Joe Kovacs earned silver for the third straight Olympics, and Rajindra Campbell of Jamaica took bronze. Despite dealing with an elbow nerve issue and a torn pectoral muscle, Crouser's performance was marked by overcoming self-doubt and refining his technique. Looking ahead, Crouser has his sights set on a fourth gold in Los Angeles 2028, where he plans to retire. This victory underscores the United States' dominance in men's shot put, having won 20 Olympic golds in the event.
