US EditionRyan Crouser Beats Injury and Wins His Third World Shot Put Title to Go with Three Olympics Golds
Ryan Crouser won his 12th men's shot put gold in 16 world championships, throwing 22.34 meters despite a year-long elbow injury and no prior season throws, officials said.
- Ryan Crouser won his third consecutive world shot put title on September 13, 2025, in Tokyo, completing a world championship hat-trick.
- Crouser returned after a 12-month sidelining due to a severe nerve injury in his throwing elbow revealed by leaked MRI contrast fluid.
- Despite not having thrown hard all season, Crouser progressively improved during the final, culminating in a gold-winning throw of 22.34 meters.
- Crouser expressed that while each championship brings its own unique significance, this particular victory stands out as the achievement he values most, noting his pain level was around 3 or 4 out of 10.
- His win marked the United States' twelfth men's shot put gold medal over the past sixteen editions of the world championships and placed Crouser alongside Swiss athlete Werner Günthör as only the second man to claim three consecutive titles.
