American shot putter Ryan Crouser achieved an unprecedented feat by winning his third consecutive Olympic gold medal in the men’s shot put at the Paris 2024 Games. Crouser’s victory is even more remarkable given his recent injury struggles, showcasing his resilience and dominance in the event.
Sha’Carri Richardson, the 2023 World Champion, has earned her spot at the Paris Olympics after dominating the women’s 100m at the US trials. This comes three years after a marijuana positive test cost her a chance to compete in Tokyo. Meanwhile, reigning world champion Noah Lyles and two-time Olympic shot put champion Ryan Crouser also secured their places in Paris.
Two-time Olympic shot put champion Ryan Crouser overcame a series of injuries, including a torn pectoral muscle and ulnar nerve issues, to qualify for the US Olympic trials final with a single throw. Despite the challenges, Crouser is optimistic about his chances in Paris.
