American Ryan Krauser, world champion and two Olympic gold medalists, broke the world record for the shot put, which he personally holds, recording 23.38 m at the Simplot Games in Idaho on Saturday.
In indoor games, Krauser broke the previous world record outdoors (23.37m) and indoors (22.82m).
This achievement comes a year after Krauser, the Olympic champion in Rio and Tokyo, achieved a similar number that was not calculated.
He thought he had broken the record in January 2022 at the Melrose Games, but the competition was canceled due to a laser malfunction.
Krauser set the world record indoors (22.82m) in January 2021 in Fayetteville, Arkansas, and outdoors the same year in Eugene, Oregon, where he won the IAAF World Championships gold for the first time in his career in the summer of 2022.
