His 70-meter effort broke the Olympic record set minutes prior by Lithuania’s Mykolas Alekna, a heavy favorite going into the Games. “I yanked it, it just dropped right out of 20 meters,” Stona recalled the first moment he picked up a discus. In Fayetteville, he met Ryan Crouser – a three-time Olympic gold medalist and an Olympic record holder in shot put – who joined the Razorbacks’ athletics staff in 2019 as a volunteer. But Stona had other plans: his fourth attempt on the night sailed 70 meters, breaking the Olympic record set minutes earlier and causing one of the biggest upsets of the Games. The gold medal in Paris gave Stona “some next level of confidence” to pick up where he left off.

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.

PARIS — The best shot putter in track and field’s history spent this spring and summer experiencing something unusual: vulnerability. Doctors didn’t clear him to resume throwing the 16-pound metal shot until almost June. Only four men have thrown past 75 feet, 5 1/2 inches (23 meters) — and Crouser has done it nine times. 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.

In the second half of the day, Crouser does a "sprint plyometric workout," including sprints of up to 40 meters, to work on acceleration, he said.
