Season Three of the Warm Up Track continues with Ryan Crouser, reigning World and Olympic champion and World Record holder for the men’s shot put.

Why does Ryan believes the 24 metre barrier can be broken?

Would he rather a third Olympic gold, or a world record that could stand for 30 or 40 years?

How has watching MMA and UFC fighters made him a better thrower?

Where in Eugene might you find Ryan serving you your pizza?

Ryan also explains why, despite playing American Football growing up, the potential for head injuries dissuaded him from pursuing it as a career. He breaks down the changes in technique which have already allowed him to improve his own world record and explains how, just months before he won Olympic gold in Rio, he was ready to walk away from the sport.
