(On going out hard and dying). Cycling: What an incredibly brave performance! He rode heroically for 150km and his team will be proud of the way he attacked the climbs. The strength of the peloton was too much but so much promise for this young rider. Running: Wow very dumb idiot.

Does everyone appreciate how cool this is? The self-coached best shot putter ever leveraged his engineering background to invent a new technique to throw even farther! Crouser beat the old game and then changed how it’s played.
Greatness knows no upper limit. @RCrouserThrows breaks his own world record in the men's shotput by an astonishing 19 centimeters with a 23.56m moonshot at the LA Grand Prix. Crouser has now improved the world record 42 cm total, redefining what is possible in the event.

Mondo crushed. But my major takeaway from this event is that the conversations, hype, and debates are some of the best parts about this sport that we need to keep leaning into. The race isn’t just 10 seconds of entertainment — it’s the hours and weeks leading into it!.
