American successfully defends shot put world title in HungaryDouble Olympic champion smashed own world record in May
Remarkable American Ryan Crouser continued his red-hot streak when he twice broke his own championship record and signed off with a huge 23.51m to win world championship shot put gold for the second time in a row on Saturday.
The double Olympic champion smashed his own world record in May with 23.56m and cranked out four efforts beyond 22m the enormous last one – the second-best throw in history – coming with the gold already secure. He did it despite undergoing medical treatment for two blood clots in his leg that had put his participation in doubt.
