DES MOINES (USA): There will be some expectations at Drake Relays on Saturday when men´s shot put will be held as last of the technical events of the day. And it will be because the Olympic winner Ryan Crouser is scheduled to compete. His last weekend two efforts 22.74 and 22.73 were the best throws in last 29 years. And he aims for more. In recent quotes from him by trackandfieldnews.com he explained his health issues in winter and that in fact he did not had so much training before summer as he would expect. “I´m really happy with where I’m at because things have definitely not been ideal. It’s still really early and to expect everything to be executing technically at a high intensity–you can’t have that this early. You hope for it, but it’s tough to do,” Crouser said. After Drake his next competition scheduled is Doha Diamond League and early June than trip to Europe for meetings. On Saturday in the start list also NCAA standout Payton Otterdahl.
