Crouser breaks world shot put record with 23.56m in Los Angeles
USA’s Ryan Crouser threw 23.56m* to improve his own world shot put record at the USATF Los Angeles Grand Prix meeting on Saturday (27).
Making history on a sunny but blustery afternoon at the UCLA’s Drake Stadium, Crouser added 19cm to the previous world record of 23.37m that he recorded at the US Olympic Trials in Eugene in June 2021.
The explosive 23.56m throw was achieved by the world and Olympic champion on his fourth attempt.
Crouser said that although the throw was good, he has more left in him.
