Ryan MF Crouser is immortal - Becomes first 3 x Olympic Shot Put Champion

THE GOAT IS BACK.

Dude won by almost 3 feet ! Props to Kovacs who has 3 straight silver, to the GOAT

Crazy that without Crouser, Kovacs would have 3 oly golds and 5 world golds and the WR. Easily #2 all time

Nothing left to prove. He should pull a Michael Carter and sign with a NFL team as a nose tackle. Probably would make more in one season of football than he has as the Usain Bolt of the shot.

He's been on the Pat McAfee show a couple times at least and they've brought this up but Crouser hasn't indicated any interest, unfortunately. Would be cool to see him try though.

Gotta love Crouser, so humble, and the all time great in this event, congrats to the Big Man.

Congratulations to Ryan Crouser!

abolsute champion to win three olympic shot put golds.

He really only needed to throw twice to go home with the gold. Once in the qualifications, once in the finals. That is amazing.

Just on another level. A pleasure to watch one of the all time greats.

Has anybody ever won an event 4 Olympics in a row? He's only 31. There has to be a chance that he wins again in LA.

This is a running site. No one cares about shot put events.

Crouser has in other interviews said that he prefers to keep his brain intact.

Remind yourself the next time you decide to share some garbage news links with us

If he ran the 100 he would be considered one of the greatest Olympians of all time. His dominance of the event is truly worthy of applause. This guy is humble and represents everything an Olympian should.

Literally!

Discus!

Crouser - what a competitor. There aren't enough superlatives. He's just so beautiful to observe.

The rain made it tough to watch otterdahl and campbell vying for the lesser medals when the water wouldn't let them get full rotations.

But god damn Kovacs is so freakin clutch too. Move over Sihine, Kovacs is the best bridesmaid T&F has ever seen. I'm glad he has those two golds from worlds
