    Imagine throwing your best in your life, you think you've got it in the bag, then 2 other dudes throw the best in their life and make you get bronze.

    Seeing Crouser as a skinny HS kid was something I didn't expect
  • @radicalbyte
    It's 2023 and he holds the world record at 23.56m. What an absolute beast.
  • @speleokeir
    UPDATE from 21/9/2023: Crouser has increased his WR to 23.57. There have only been 17 throws over 23.00m and Crouser has 13 of them. He has also thrown over 22m 240 times. I can't help wondering how he'd do in World's Strongest Man. Of course he's need to train for it but once he got some experience under his belt I think he'd do well, particularly in some of the more athletic events.

    The measurement guys standing so close to the landing spot is stonks for anxiety
  • @righty-o3585
    Keep in mind, that steel ball weighs 16 pounds ( 7.26 kg ) . So it's the same weight as a professional bowling ball.
  • @Mark-db1ok
    Here's how good this video is: I've never cared about the shot put in my life, but i was locked in for this whole story. Well done! And Crouser is incredible.
  • @dezza718
    What incredible balance and poise these big guys have. Not all about strength. Mad respect for this sport! đź‘Ź
  • I feel like these guys see each other so often on the victory podiums that they're probably good friends.
  • @PineappleSquuid
    It’s so funny, yet inspiring, to see grown men throw rocks and then start screaming their heads off.
  • @Masomqwwq
    14:16 seeing the "Lorem Ipsum" that never got filled in gave me a chuckle.
  • This is literally the first time i've ever seen anything about Shot-Put in my life, but damn this video is engaging af, the narration is really objective, the summary is excellent, you tackled all the important points here. Thanks for sharing one of those stories so rare that they'll probably never happen again in history and making it exciting even to outsiders, this is wow, just wow. Amazing feats of what humans can achieve !
  • @Romearci
    Basically any topic is interesting when presented by a passionate person. I swear I never would've thought I'd enjoy a shot put video. Great work
  • Honestly, shot put is such an underrated event in Track and Field. It’s often overshadowed by more popular events such at the 100m and 1500m, but I’m so happy that legends such as Kovacs and Crouser are bringing the attention that this event deserves.
  • I love your videos because of the way they are written. I know that when I click on one of your videos, I will learn something, I will be entertained, and I will end up having genuine interest in the subject matter, regardless if I was interested in it prior to me clicking on the video. I swear man, you could make a video on how amazing it is for paint to dry, and a paint drying world record that will never be broken, and youll have me hook, line and sinker
  • @terrylandess6072
    There's something elegant watching the shot thrown from behind like that. It's easy to see whether or not there's a smooth acceleration both in the spin and the forward momentum combining into this Pirouette of Power.
  • @KorZen10
    Fun fact: The 2021 Shot put was the only event in summer-Olympic history where the podium was the exact same as the previous games. Crouser 1, Kovacs 2, Walsh 3.
  • For all of us skinny-ass distance runners, the shot-put final in Doha was all we talked about for at least a week. It was terrific.
  • @notandyvee
    This popped up in my feed. Glad it did. Very enjoyable. Thank you.
  • My mans the only channel ive ever seen with less than a mil sub but consistently pull in tens of mils of views with amazing vids.
