Perhaps the Canadian would just inspire, probably the biggest shot of all time, Ryan Crouser to win his third consecutive gold championship. Crouser won the wet Tokyo night, inside the wrapped Olympic stadium, throwing throws, who concentrated 10,000 meters despite the final crescentic female race.
In the morning before the start of 35 km walk-“it did not end until it ends”-prophetic. Dunfee, cramps, sweat, which poured into buckets in the dense humid Tokyo air, threw a strong Japanese challenge to win the World Championship to open gold.
Ryan Crouser, after his qualification in the morning, stood up against some serious challenge in the finals. It was shocking to his first competition of the year. Over the years, this seemed to be the best chance for competitors to overthrow it and claim the crown.
It seemed to be heading that way. Almost.
Talent, skill is given. Medals come only from grit.
Ask the Italian Nadia Battocletti, who hung in the Beatrice Chebet, Gudaf Tsegay and Agnes Jebet Ngetich to get the first Italian 10k gold; The race in the last 100 meters brings a crowd to its feet. A few meters in front of the finish line, to the left of the track, the shooters watched wide eyes when the Italian took Africans.
The script was somewhat similar in a shot.
Shot Give the final to warm up
After Crouser threw 21.99 m in his second attempt, it was a moment of catching up for the rest. In the morning, in the qualifying, Crouser did not show any res line of the man who competed for the first time this season – just got off, threw 21.37 m, wiped the chalk from his hands and left.

The rest – New Zealand’s Tom Walsh, Italian Leonardo Fabbri, Crouser’s teammate Adrian Piperi – knew that defeating Crousera would take more than just an elbow injury or a simple resiness.
In the final Tom Walsh, a double Olympic bronze medalist and four -time Diamond League winner, set the ball with 21.58. Ryan came and downloaded 21.99; The crowd was dripping. Fabbri, who threw 22.82 on August 3, hit the introductory ticket for 21.83. Mexican Uziel Munoz had a quieter 20.58. Nigeria Chukwuebuka Cornnell Enekw managed 20.90. It was heating.
Fabbri, world rating on 4th place, focused hard. He kept around the arena and sat quietly between the wheels. Although he finished 6th in the qualification with 20.95 m throwing, Fabbri’s best is 22.98 m. He raised silver behind Crousero at the Budapest World Championship. In Paris there was disappointing for Italian. Qualification with 21.76 m, with Crouser at 21.49 m. Everything seemed to be Fabbri. But when it’s Crouser, “It’s not over everything until it is over.” The American threw 22.90 MA closed the competition, while Fabbri was fifth with 21.70 m. Fabbri defeated Crousera in Diamond League before the Olympic Games in Paris, so he knew what it meant to defeat the World Champion.
The second and third attempts turned into a four -way race: Ryan Crouser vs Fabbri vs Walsh vs Adrian Piperi. Mexican Munoz still found its rhythm.
In the 4th round, there would usually be attempts to put a big throw pressure on the rest and open the competition. It didn’t happen. Cornnell threw 21.34. Munoz 21.50, move to 4th place. Piper 20,99, up to 5th place. Walsh and Soft 21.19. Fabbri cleaned 21.59, floating between good and big. Crouser Fauled.
The settings were now ideal for everyone to go out. It was or never now. If Crouser had to be stopped, someone would have to get off.
Tom Walsh released 21.94, the air set out. He was in the ranking of medals. Fabbri came, took some time, a metal ball of 7.26 kg flew and hit 22m line. The Council showed 21.94. Fabbri returned to the competition.
It was a moment of Ryan Crouser. An American, who threw more than 200 times more than 200 times in his career, knew that others were hunting him, his thumb per thumb. He still led his 2nd throw 21,99. Crouser turned, the fans on the back of the shot-leaf arena turned between the final wheels of the 10K women and did not want to miss Crouser. The arch was perfect, the metal ball hung in the air, which he intentionally looked at, exceeded 22m line, fans exhaled together when the result table showed 22.34 m.
The remaining only one hour, the rest had to pull the rabbit out of the hat. Munoz went first, to throw a huge 21,97, which ejected him to the silver medal position; At the World Championship it would be the first medal of Mexico.
Walsh got 21.08. Fabbri could only manage 21.03. Nigeria Cornnell got its best throw in 21.52 and moved to 5th place.
But it would be so close, but so far for Walsha, when he finished the level with Fabbri with his fifth round of 21.94, but was in the fourth round Pippped for the bronze on the basis of bronze. Italy is Leonardo Fabbri Clinches Silver in Tokyo. (Reuters Photo)
Crown King: Crouser’s Historical Third
Crouser didn’t go to his 6th, he didn’t. The American claimed his 3. The World Championship and, along with his three Olympic gold, could now claim to be the biggest shot in history. For someone who is not seen in the season that comes, throws and claims that third gold is nothing but nonsensical.
Later Crouser would say in his media interaction:
“This was definitely the most demanding of the mental and physical point of view. It’s been the first time I really threw hard since last September and my elbow really persisted. I didn’t want to risk permanent damage-it has long been in preparation for the Paris Olympics.”
I paid the price by October, November, December and January. In the end, in May and June, I began to see some progress – but it was just one step forward and made sure we didn’t take two steps back.
I decided to believe that once I got into the ring, I could still hit a shot as I used to be. I was hoping that something around 22.40 m. Overall, I am really proud of how I did in preparation. We probably went over 20,000 steps today! Hopefully they will plan it for the next World Championship, especially not for the Olympic Games 2028. ”
In an interview before the last World Cup in Budapest Crouser said:
“You always chase the rabbit hole of this perfect throw. We are such a sport based on performance. We look at how everyone else is doing, how the best way is to do it.”
From the glider to the rotation of his technique, Crousera took the new dimension as a thrower. It also helped him break the 96 ‘Olympic champion Randy Barnes’ 31 -year -old world record of 23.12 ms of 23.37 m 18. June 2021 at the American Olympic trials. Crouser holds the first four throws on the best list of all Dob-World Record 23.56 m, followed by 23.51 m, 23.37 mA 23.30 m.
Crouser’s victory keeps the US on a hot lane in terms of stage, – no stage since the 1991 release has been without an American thrower.
Crouser’s mantra, as he says, should remain “calm and gentle”.
“It was one of those competitions where I felt like I was learning a lot with each round. I always say you can make mistakes in the competition, but don’t make the same mistake twice.
“The world championships were interesting dynamics: you are usually just trying to stay calm and gentle, which is especially demanding for the season. I combine the season Opener with the World Championship, I did a lot of preparation to make sure I stayed calm and I did really well and intervened and intervened and intervened and intervened and intervened and intervened and intervened and intervened. ” A shot really hard – which I finally did in five rounds. ”
When the mixed zone walked down the Mixed Zone at the Tokyo National Stadium, it seems that the stars and stripes switched over its 6 -inch frame, which Crouser has finally managed to physics his own body.
– ends
