It made him not only shot put’s farthest thrower of all time — Crouser owns the world and Olympic records — but also indisputably its most dominant. “To say the least.”His opening throw of 74 feet, 3 ½ inches would have been enough to win gold by itself. It is not as though Crouser has won multiple Olympic and world championships while beating up on inferior competition, either. “I don’t really talk when I see him training because he’s the world record holder,” said triple jumper Jaydon Hibbert, a medal contender from Jamaica who competes collegiately for Arkansas. “I’m not going to bother the world record holder.”Ryan Crouser during the London Athletics Meet on July 20.
