  2. Don Goff says:

    He's closing in on 24 with his current 23.56 world record.

  3. Tim Shanks says:

    It is impossible for me.

  4. I'm here after Ryan Crouser threw 23.56m.

  5. Jolly Molly says:

    Watching this 3+ years later – Crouser has twice borken Barnes' world record and a few weeks ago Crouser threw a new world record of 23.56 meters. So he's getting closer to that 24m meter mark.

  6. Rex Logan says:

    Excellent content.

  7. Almost………Crouser bout to turn that almost impossible to probable.

  8. Will M says:

    Let me guess…gravity??

  9. Art Green says:

    So much power, so elegantly delivered. His spins are works of art.

  10. Come back and like my comment when he breaks that 24m barrier. He's getting nearer day by day. Right now 23.58m 😮. .42m to go 👍💪

  11. Zatt56 says:

    Anyone here after he hit 23.56 in 2023?

  12. Marc Davis says:

    23.56 now and he’s early in this 2023 season.

  13. Tim N says:

    lol this hasnt aged well with crouser less than 3 years after this now approaching this 'almost impossible' upper limit. the fact is that no one can say what the upper limit is, which is why these videos are hyperbole. someone will put the shot 25m eventually. itll probably happen in the next 50 years too…maybe less.
    it just means these videos are logically ridiculous. we all recall when the 4 minute mile was 'impossible' and the 10s 100m also 'impossible'..

  14. Ken Meno says:

    Crosier is going to throw 24m!

  15. Jsleezy-_- says:

    I came back after Crouser broke his own World Record. Just to tell you that you are Wrong. Ryan Crouser will reach 24 meters before 2023 ends

  16. Sough says:

    Because it's hard to throw heavy things far lol. Simple.
    Crouser might just be able to do it though

  17. Ach Ketchup says:

    I came frome de future, Crouser He threw 23.56m

  18. Adam Klein says:

    Crouser up to 23.56
    dude is a machine!!

  19. 77’3.75” is the new world record just set by Crouser

  20. DeadSparko says:

    Whos here after his 23.56m throw?

  21. pjjjjjjjjjjj says:

    whatttt you got 30? i do it and i get 29:6 max with a 12 lb ball

  22. retrofart says:

    bro woke up and decided to become a medieval cannon

    You actually did quite well for your first time encounter with the event. I did 53 feet in high school but that was with a 12-pound shot that has a manageable diameter. The 16-pound shot feels like a goddam bowling ball.
    Your video is really, really good. You brought out Mr Crouse as a scientific student of putting the shot as well as being every articulate.

  24. JMCuRTisJR says:

    “and he can bench press 225”
    man i can do that
    “almost 50 times in a row”
    man i can’t do that

  25. If 24m goes, you picked the right athlete to interview.
    I also saw Ryan had a standing long jump of 3m – I usually struggle to get that far with a run up.
    Stayed tuned for 23.50 with the Crouser slide.

  26. Trinity Love says:

    24m is going to be the usual soon 😂😂

  27. Bro this man’s physique… he’s a godanm menance

  28. thats why a short thrower doesn't stand a chance to go 24m. only the taller thrower has a chance. the height at which the ball is released makes a difference.

  29. I throw right about 40 feet right now

  30. Ryan is definitely gonna hit 24 meters in the very near future

  31. David Shiel says:

    He now has the world record at 23.38 meters
