    I feel bad for Joe kovacs, in any other era he would dominate and win every gold, but his teammate has just HAS to be the greatest thrower EVER
  • Crouser and Kovac getting Gold and Silver, respectively, in 3 straight Olympics is pretty crazy... Great job, guys!!!
  • @PlaySA
    That's some REAL AMERICAN BEEF right there!!

    I threw shot in the same event with Crouser back in high school -Oregon city, OR. Even then people would talk about him for weeks afterwards because he was in a league far away on his own. So glad to see his success.
  • Met Ryan Crouser at the pre classic in 2021. Was one of the nicest dudes I have met. He took photos with literally anyone who asked and seemed happy to be doing it. He's a great guy and deserves all the success.
  • @jmg999
    That shot weighs 16 pounds! Sixteen pounds! It's incredible that these athletes are able to throw it as far as they're able.
  • @S.K.R.E.Inc.
    Rain or shine, he was on point, which is what the US needs after so many blown chances for gold. Despite the rain and slippery conditions, he won it and one of his mates joined him at the podium later
  • @dark_antihero
    I can't believe the size of the crowd for this sport, these guys should be proud
  • @TeiterTotter
    I love that thousands of years after someone thought of competing against each other by how far can we throw a rock it is still happening today!
  • This is the very definition of doing just one thing, but doing it better than anyone else alive. Hercules himself would be impressed.
  • @templar1541
    I don’t believe people actually understand the power these guys generate
  • @D2h2766
    I would have been so happy for Kovacs if he could have grabbed the gold at least once in his amazing career, but nobody beats Crouser in the olympics. So happy I got to watch these two legends
  • It says everything that Kovacs and Crouser could easily be making tens of millions in the NFL but they're doing what they love. Crouser is a machine, even injured.
  • This technique is WAY different than what we were shown in high school track and field.
  • @Tz3zz
    I love seeing the sports that are not highly covered, they have talent that should be showcased on the big stage consistently.
  • @SoberNatural
    3 titles ina row is icon behavior. He needs more sponsorships deals and more usatf billboards.
