Ryan Crouser has made history by becoming the first person to win three consecutive Olympic gold medals in the men's shot put. Competing at the 2024 Paris Olympics, Crouser secured his third title with a throw of 22.90 meters (75 feet 1.575 inches). This remarkable achievement solidifies his status as one of the greatest shot putters of all time, despite battling elbow and pectoral injuries this year. Joe Kovacs, also from the USA, claimed the silver medal with a throw of 22.15 meters, marking his third consecutive Olympic silver in the event. Rajindra Campbell of Jamaica took the bronze, also with a throw of 22.15 meters.
