Watch: Track and Field Olympic Champion Ryan Crouser Effortlessly Lift 140kg in Preparation of Paris Olympics 2024

The incredible power of the Olympic champion is constantly growing. Ryan Crouser is renowned as the world’s premier shot putter, discus thrower, and track and field star. He has amassed several accolades on his remarkable list of accomplishments throughout his career. During the 2023 World Athletics Championships in Budapest, Crouser not only won gold but also the hearts of many, with his performance with a major injury. Over the years, Crouser has not shown a sign of slowing down and it is quite obvious that the speed is going to see an increase as the Olympic clock is ticking. And it did.

A recent social media post witnessed the very speed of Crouser as he gets himself ready for the Parisian arena. Crouser has been dropping glimpses of his training regime lately. The recent post added a fresh dimension to it.

Oregon-born Crouser is a two-time Olympic gold medalist and a two-time World Champion in shot put. He holds the world record in both indoor and outdoor versions shot put. The fresh clip comes as a reminder that even after tasting success at the highest possible level, the virtuoso is still hungry for success. This hunger surfaced during the World Athletics Championships when his injury could not hold him back from delivering his best.

Battling a blood clot scare to reach the top

Weeks before the WAC 2023, Crouser woke up with excruciating calf pain. A thorough check revealed two blood clots in his leg that put question on his participation in the event. Referring to that, Crouser later said, “It’s been the most stressful 20 days I’ve ever had…Luckily I had a great medical team working with me and they got me safe to fly so it felt like a relief just to get here, even though I didn’t have proper training or preparation.” But Destiny probably wanted Crouser to gift the victory for his resilience.

With a massive 23.51m throw, Crouser defended his title in Budapest, while clinching hold in the process. The moral of the story was given by the champion himself after the win, “That was a tough one. The last throw was testament to all the hard work and dedication over the last year. The last few days have been hard, so with all that has happened it was a phenomenal throw.” But how does he manage to make those phenomena happen every time?

In Crouser’s words, “I’m always trying to get better, compete against myself, and throw as far as I can.” With the fresh clip of Crouser’s grind before Paris, the world is getting ready to witness his dominance once again.
