Ryan Crouser is currently the best shot putter in the world. He broke the Olympic Record on all 6 of his attempts in Tokyo 2020 with his last throw hitting 23.30m. He also broke the outdoor world record, now standing at 23.37m. Furthermore broke the indoor world record. He constructed a new technique called: the Crouser slide, where he stands half a meter further in the circle to make more distance. He is incredible and will throw much further! Maybe someday 24 metres... Edit: he broke the world record again in May 2023 to a distance of 23.57m. (Ryan Crouser also threw 23.12 and 23.31 at this competition) He was still lifting heavy weights and training hard so he is not at his best right now. Maybe at the world championships this year in Budapest, the 24 meter mark will be broken…
@@ryanfreeman5083 how could learning both be useful in any way? Unless, of course, if you live in a country that still uses the imperial system. If not, it would be like having a calculator but still be carrying an abacus around.

@@TacticusPrime 23.37 at age 28 is closer to 24 than anyone in history.

Update: Ryan Crouser recently broke the world record in the Shot Put, and he also holds the olympic record too, in other words, he is the best shot putter that's ever lived.
@@AndreiH1605 upload a video lol. Would love seing you bench. I can already hear that one dude on RUclips counting "zero, zero, zero, zero...". On RUclips everyone and their mother benches 225 for 10. Pretty funny
I will tell you for real, that I did 43 reps on 225lbs once with my gym friends,. I was a power-lifter, they were body builders, and it was a mistake for all of us. Alex paid for his 34 reps with no arm movement for 30min afterward, and we were all sore for 1 full day after. Don't do it.
Funny thing is benching 225 50 times in a row is probably one of the lesser applicable activities (that involves weights) one can do for a power sport like shot put. Benching 1-5 reps is a lot better. I bet push pressing would be a great exercise as well.
Most elite shot putters have a max bench in the 500lb range. They generally have long arm levers, so aren't well suited for super high benching like powerlifters who tend to have shorter levers.
Yeah man. Too bad the olympic people are xenophobes and sore losers. But if ever they allow bigfoots into sports I'll be one of the first people to cheer you on.
@@PaulAllen8.30 It took me my entire life just to be able to get that thing 16 m... People don't realize how crazy people like Crouser, Kovacs, Walsh and others actually are..
I used to throw when I was around 17 (quit cuz my arm got messed up and cuz I'm too short to actually compete in higher levels) smell of iron and in your fingers and then nailing the technique felt awesome back in the day.
Not only could this guy easily chuck a bowling ball straight at the pins, he can throw it a whole 16 feet past them. That's absolutely insane. And a guy his size running a 4.8, elite power, and elite balance. Crouser is a freak.
You actually did quite well for your first time encounter with the event. I did 53 feet in high school but that was with a 12-pound shot that has a manageable diameter. The 16-pound shot feels like a goddam bowling ball. Your video is really, really good. You brought out Mr Crouse as a scientific student of putting the shot as well as being every articulate.
A note about ideal launch angle: 45 degrees is optimal when landing height is equal to launch height. In this case, where launch height is greater than landing height, the ideal angle is actually slightly less than 45 degrees, which could also explain why the optimal angle for shot put is between 35 and 40 degrees. Though, I'm sure the bio-mechanical explanation offered is at least as important if not far more important.
@@Beaconsea right so if you're stronger in the chest press direction than the shoulder press direction, it makes sense that your best throw might end up more in the chest press direction simply because it's stronger.
Also due to drag forces it's less than 45 degrees anyway closer to 40 degrees if I recall correctly. Note the shape of the object has an effect and since it's a round ball it's better than some things but it has a lot of surface area. If he can get the exact angle right I think that'll make quite the differene.
Nah, air resistance should be negligible for release angle at these speeds and with such a heavy object. I've done the math to make sure and, even exaggerating the values to make it worse, the drag comes out to about 1 newton right at the start of the throw. That does very little to such a heavy weight on such a brief flight - it's a max acceleration of about 1.5% that of gravity.
I reason love this series. It's so easy for the average person to forget just how difficult these various physical feats are. and thank you for using mainly metric system
What if i tell you that we already have that and anti-doping companies are just scam and there to put up false image for public and laundry money for the rich

i got to know this guy has a lot of brute strength, can squat 800 pounds and bench more than 500 pounds. Man this guy is actually more than a beast. This guy can be anything powerlifter, a fighter, a runner,etc. That's what I call a legend.
I got the record for that year at my school years ago with 33’ 9”. And that was my last shot put of the season. I was locked at 31’ or 32’ so that was everything I had.
Ryan Crouser has the new world record in the shot put at an astounding 23.37m in the 2021 Olympics, surpassing the previous record held by Randy Barnes. It's nice to see this man again after knowing that he now is the world record holder.
In the mid 1960's I threw against Brian Oldfield...he was a force in getting the rotation style legalized. Brian threw 75 feet way back in history...he deserves some mention Dude.
ryan crouser has done it and he broke the world record and broke it again with his current best at 23.57 with this record it is pretty much possible to break the 24 metre mark in the future
Mitjitsu it’s actually been done, Uwe Hohn is the only person to achieve this feet with a throw of 104.8m. This was becoming too dangerous to safely stage competitions so the redesigned the javs to have a centre of gravity that was more foreword (4cm), forcing throws to be smaller
I would actually bet quite a bit of money that we would see a 100m javelin throw (modern jav) before a 24m shot put. Perhaps even by one of today's current athletes.

Watching Ryan Crouser throw the shot put is amazing, he has the strength of a weightlifter but the agility of a ballet dancer.
Who is here after won tokyo 2020 gold
Great job to Ryan Crouser for beating the WR by over a quarter meter.
Wired: why it's almost impossible to shot put 24 meters
Me: because it's hard
I can throw 24.. Feet not Meters
That's still impressive.
i can throw 24, inches
So much power, so elegantly delivered. His spins are works of art.
i got to know this guy has a lot of brute strength, can squat 800 pounds and bench more than 500 pounds. Man this guy is actually more than a beast. This guy can be anything powerlifter, a fighter, a runner,etc. That's what I call a legend.
Who's here after he broke the world record and sent it 76 feet!!!
Americans ... how hard is it to say 23.37 metres? Even then Americans say "meters".
That spin they do before “putting” it looks so dope lol idk why it just looks so perfect? I’m not sure what to call it.
when i did athletics we just called it the shot put spin. same as the discus spin
I got the record for that year at my school years ago with 33’ 9”. And that was my last shot put of the season. I was locked at 31’ or 32’ so that was everything I had.
I am really impressed with this dudes sense of balance.
Thank you for explaining shot put❤
Update: Crouser broke the world record agan in 2023 it is now 23.56 (77'3.5)
Ryan Crouser has the new world record in the shot put at an astounding 23.37m in the 2021 Olympics, surpassing the previous record held by Randy Barnes. It's nice to see this man again after knowing that he now is the world record holder.
Just hit 23.56m….
Cut 2: This very guy #RyanCrouser broke the WR Multiple times. 23.37 , 23.56 😎
He might as well do a 24m or a near 24m like 23.70/80/90
Accidentally throwing it in the wrong direction
In the mid 1960's I threw against Brian Oldfield...he was a force in getting the rotation style legalized. Brian threw 75 feet way back in history...he deserves some mention Dude.
really?

"Why it's almost impossible for me to get a girlfriend"
*ALMOST! That means you have a chance!*
Almost keep going king🙏🙏
Don't be so needy its not like you can't survive
everyone is capable of getting a fat girl
Because you are on RUclips watching shot put videos.
"Why it's almost impossible to shot..."
Robert Oberst: hold my beer!
I feel like I'll tear all types of ligaments if I even attempt it😂
Jerl La Vert 😏excuses ..excuses
Jerl La Vert its cool actually just dont try the pro technique lol
Crouser is now a 3-time Olympic champion.
ryan crouser has done it and he broke the world record and broke it again with his current best at 23.57 with this record it is pretty much possible to break the 24 metre mark in the future
Next: Why it's almost impossible to throw a javelin 100m.
Mitjitsu it’s actually been done, Uwe Hohn is the only person to achieve this feet with a throw of 104.8m. This was becoming too dangerous to safely stage competitions so the redesigned the javs to have a centre of gravity that was more foreword (4cm), forcing throws to be smaller
I would actually bet quite a bit of money that we would see a 100m javelin throw (modern jav) before a 24m shot put. Perhaps even by one of today's current athletes.
tjbanville the Germans might break the 100 meters limit
@@liamtully4553 Why its almost impossible to throw a javelin 105m
Good news Johannes Vetter just did ut a few weeks ago
