Also in Japan's capital catapulted from Portland Crouser with its swiveling technology the iron ball over 23 meters to 23.30 meters - only seven centimeters away from his world record size. He had met 23.37 meters in Eugene on June 18th. The competitors in the Olympic Final have not grown him: his compatriot and two-time world champion Joe Kovacs took 22.65 meters as five years ago in Rio Silver. Tomas Walsh from New Zealand also repeated his Olympic bronze world with 22.47 meters.
Particularly noteworthy: With each of his six shocks he exceeded the Olympic record he had set up with 22.52 m for a five years ago. His shocks until then: 22.83 - 22.93 - 22.86 - 22.74 - 22.54.
Because of a back injury, David Storl (SC DHFK Leipzig), the Olympia second of 2012, could not deny competitions in this summer season and qualify for the Tokyo games.
Kessing: "Better performance with swiveling technology"
Doubt that in the 23-meter width and the world record of Crouser, as well as previous doping weddings, not everything could be right, the German Chef Trainer did not want to join. "He is a model athlete and pushes with the new swinging technology. This will be the determining technique in the future," said Annett Stein. "Ryan Crouser perfected her."
Jürgen Kessing, President of the German Athletics Association, closes this view. "The swiveling technology makes better performance possible. Therefore, the world record of 23.37 meters is not that unusual," he said, forecast: "I expect that one can encounter more than 24 meters with this technique."
