The Order from Portland rightly looks even further. The world record of his compatriot Randy Barnes is worth 23.12 m and has been valid for thirty years. Will he shake at the Golden Stirrup?
He came to the press conference before the meeting with his hat on, he had to bend down the door. He is an inch two meters ago, weighs 145 kilograms.

“I predicted a world record for him a few years ago. But how huge it is, it has a problem to fit properly into the ring, “said Jan Železný, director of the Golden Stilts and three-time Olympic javelin winner. The Czech record holder Tomáš Staněk also considers Crouser’s entry into history to be a matter of time.
So far, Crouser has a personal record of 22.91 m, while he already knows what it is like to overcome 23 meters. “I have succeeded several times in training. My goal is to have a stable performance of around twenty-two and a half, and the ideal attempt can then fly by eighty centimeters. It’s just frustrating that you can’t choose whether it will work out in a race or in training, “he smiled.
At the end of August, he shone in Des Moines, USA, where he presented the best series in history. He did not lose form even on the way across the Atlantic, on Sunday in Chorzów he measured the “shortest” of his five measured trials 22.42 m.
“I spent twenty-four hours on the road, a longer time than I was before the race in Poland. So I was very satisfied, composure is a good indicator that a big throw will come, “he enticed fans, whom he could not enjoy much overseas.
“I’m looking forward to the atmosphere. In America, the last time I threw was in a meeting, where there were five competitors and eight referees in the stadium for 20,000 people, otherwise no one, “explained the man who originally managed the spring quarantine.

“I trained all the time in the garage 3×3 meters and in the home gym, even though I didn’t have heavy weights there. With the medicine ball, I used to throw under the bridge and throw a short distance from home in the parking lot of the primary school, “he calculated. And thanks to his skill, he also made his own throwing ring.
“He went well made from wood, just as he was very smooth, he was terribly fast. Then it took me a while to get used to the concrete again, but it was definitely better than just in the parking lot and it helped me even into the season, “he praised himself.
