Rio Olympics: Big Throw from a Big Guy

All Shot Put athletes are big, but Ryan Crouser (USA) adds height as well as girth to the equation.  At 6.7" he could be playing basketball, but instead as gone into the family business.  Crouser spun his way into a new Olympic Record of 73' 10 1/4", clearly enough for the Gold Medal as well.  The Americans ended the night taking both Gold and Silver in the event.

Rio Olympics: The Wind Up

Defending Olympic Champion, Tomasz Majewski (Poland) fared better than his teammate and defending World Champion of the Shot Put. Majewski passed through to the medal round, but the Champion didn't manage to even get a throw without a fault.  Majewski was not able to make the podium.  More about that later.
