Why It's Almost Impossible to Shot Put 24 Meters | WIRED
Переглядів 4,751,495
4 роки томуEver wonder what the upper limit of the shot put is? The record is 23.12 meters, or just under 75 feet. But could someone come along and put one even further? WIRED's Robbie Gonzalez met up with Olympic record holder Ryan Crouser to find out why putting a shot 24 meters is Almost Impossible.

Ryan Crouser is currently the best shot putter in the world. He broke the Olympic Record on all 6 of his attempts in Tokyo 2020 with his last throw hitting 23.30m. He also broke the outdoor world record, now standing at 23.37m. Furthermore broke the indoor world record. He constructed a new technique called: the Crouser slide, where he stands half a meter further in the circle to make more distance. He is incredible and will throw much further! Maybe someday 24 metres... Edit: he broke the world record again in May 2023 to a distance of 23.57m. (Ryan Crouser also threw 23.12 and 23.31 at this competition) He was still lifting heavy weights and training hard so he is not at his best right now. Maybe at the world championships this year in Budapest, the 24 meter mark will be broken…

Funny thing is benching 225 50 times in a row is probably one of the lesser applicable activities (that involves weights) one can do for a power sport like shot put. Benching 1-5 reps is a lot better. I bet push pressing would be a great exercise as well.

Most elite shot putters have a max bench in the 500lb range. They generally have long arm levers, so aren't well suited for super high benching like powerlifters who tend to have shorter levers.

A note about ideal launch angle: 45 degrees is optimal when landing height is equal to launch height. In this case, where launch height is greater than landing height, the ideal angle is actually slightly less than 45 degrees, which could also explain why the optimal angle for shot put is between 35 and 40 degrees. Though, I'm sure the bio-mechanical explanation offered is at least as important if not far more important.
@michaelantoun9353 4 роки тому
@ right so if you're stronger in the chest press direction than the shoulder press direction, it makes sense that your best throw might end up more in the chest press direction simply because it's stronger.
@skylerstevens8887 2 роки тому
Also due to drag forces it's less than 45 degrees anyway closer to 40 degrees if I recall correctly. Note the shape of the object has an effect and since it's a round ball it's better than some things but it has a lot of surface area. If he can get the exact angle right I think that'll make quite the differene.
@mrmonstrop 2 роки тому
Exactly this. Ideal angle with release 2m above the ground (due to an extended arm) is ~42 degrees.
@shadowregards5903 2 роки тому
the angle also becomes lower than 45 if you count in air resistance.
@ssssdsdddbb 2 роки тому
Nah, air resistance should be negligible for release angle at these speeds and with such a heavy object. I've done the math to make sure and, even exaggerating the values to make it worse, the drag comes out to about 1 newton right at the start of the throw. That does very little to such a heavy weight on such a brief flight - it's a max acceleration of about 1.5% that of gravity.

In the mid 1960's I threw against Brian Oldfield...he was a force in getting the rotation style legalized. Brian threw 75 feet way back in history...he deserves some mention Dude.

Crouser will definitely throw over 24. Man's a monster
@peterhaslund 7 місяців тому
The only thing more difficult in athletics is the discus, because it literally rides on air to achieve its max length, like a wing. Discus uses the exact same rotation technique, but discus throwers are 1m90+ and weigh 100kg and yet must be lightning quick. Not many people are, obviously
@Gameplay_006 2 роки тому
Ryan Crouser has the new world record in the shot put at an astounding 23.37m in the 2021 Olympics, surpassing the previous record held by Randy Barnes. It's nice to see this man again after knowing that he now is the world record holder.

@matze44242 2 роки тому
Gymnast have low body fat because they have to lift their own body weight so they need relative strength. For absolute strength body fat doesnt matter as much, so they go with what feels best for them. And if they get injured its also better because the body doesnt lose muscle as fast if you cant train if you have higher body fat.
