• Twofold Olympic boss and world record holder.
• Ryan Crouser at long last stowed World Championships gold.
• Victory in a sensational shot put contest with a best toss of 22.94 meters.

Ryan Crouser thought he had won gold in 2019 when he sent off a huge toss in last round, just for Kovacs to grab it by 1cm with his toss.

Reigning champ Joe Kovacs had momentarily driven with a fifth-round exertion of 22.89 yet needed to agree to silver, while Josh Awotunde guaranteed bronze with a major individual best of 22.29.

It was whenever any country first had cleared the platform in gave, coming a day after the U.S. men did likewise in the 100 meters.

He could have thought it was reoccurring as he sat on the lead with 22.58 from his third round then, at that point, saw Kovacs beat it with his maximum effort of the time.

Next into the circle however the world record holder showed his guts with a title record toss.

Tom Walsh of New Zealand, champion in 2017 and bronze medallist in 2019, battled in the early adjusts and completed fourth with 22.08.
