RunBlogRun Opines: Ryan Crouser is now focused on the shot put. All I can say is, we are going to see some big throws! Great group of guys throwing now, and the shot put is one of the most entertaining events in our sport. Some day, terrestrial TV will understand that throwing 12 lb and 16 lb steel balls, and the drama in the event, can entertain sports fans.
