Ryan Crouser breaks world shot put record with 23.38m

Ryan Crouser says he has been tweaking his approach this winter within the endless quest for enchancment.

The shot put legend merely used his tried-and-trusted technique, although, as he beat his indoor world file of twenty-two.82m and out of doors world file of 23.37m with a mighty 23.38m in Idaho on Saturday (Feb 18).

Competing indoors on the Simplot Video games in Pocatello, the 30-year-old improved his outright world file – which was set in Eugene in June final 12 months – by one centimetre. He has an excellent historical past on the Simplot Video games, too, as he set a US indoor highschool file there again in 2011.

The 2-time Olympic and reigning world champion has now surpassed the 23-metre barrier in seven competitions throughout his profession up to now.
