RYAN CROUSER 77’ 2.75” (23.38) WR at Simplot!!!!

so i guess that extra step he added to his spin is working?

Field events are not measured in feet and inches. They are measured in meters. Please provide the correct measurement for people that actually follow athletics. Thank you.

“Unoffical”. If it said official or new WR that would be a different thing imo. Was hoping it was official

Why wouldn't it count as a world record?

I was under the impression that a record could occur even in practice as long as they have the correct measuring tools ( laser or metal tape)

LMAO no, you cannot set a WR in practice. It has to be a meet on the World Athletics calendar (and yes, this was) and you need drug testers there to catch the first passing of urine, among other things.

Just got a picture with him🥵🥵😍

Measured at 23,38m.

It so hard to break 20m even for the top of the crop, and 21m is a huge achievement.

I have no words for 22m, except than Ryan is above 23m.

23.38m is 76' 8.5", which is still mind-blowing. A 70' throw usually is required to medal. Randy Barnes set the long-standing outdoor record of 23.12m or 74'4.12". He was later banned. Brian Oldfield threw 75' as a pro. Ryan Crouser has really gone into totally new territory, the greatest of all time.

About a minute in.

How far did he throw in non stupid units?

Why lowly Idaho and not Nationals? Was he avoiding drug testing?

He has to get drug tested for it to be ratified as the world record, this was not about avoiding drug testing.

Prize money at USATF Indoors is only $6,000, it would not have been that hard for Big Potato to make him a better deal.

Ok, thanks.

The Bears need to sign him to protect Justin Fields' blind side.

Lots involved in certifying that as a record. The landing surface itself, the device used to measure the throw, drug testing, sequestering of the implement used, and so on.

Tremendous throw under any circumstances, with a significantly modified technique. Really interesting to see. Thanks for posting!

The 'first-reported' 77' 2.75" is 23.58. I suspect that he misread the .38 as .58 . I also was looking for the metric measure because like a number of field events (PV, HJ, SP, TJ, etc) I relate to those values since on the world stage that is what you see. And, if you officiate in college or even are watching you will see that metric is the primary measure. I officiate the Vault, and a lot of freshman are asking 'what is that in ...(Imperial, which they never say)'.

My god did he launch that. Insane.

And watching him setup, with those ISU throwers chumming it up in the background: he makes them look like high schoolers. Such a beast, such an athlete
