On Tuesday, 3rd of August 2021, Men’s qualification round of shot put at Tokyo 2020 would be conducted with the following atheltes representing their respective nations. Who has the best chance of winning a Track and Field Shot Put Gold medal? Ryan Crouser? Tom Walsh? Jacko Gill? Leonardo Fabbri? The question would definitely be answered on the day of Final of Men’s Shot Put that is Wednesday, August 4th , 2021 at 7:05PM PST and 10:05PM EST. However, the right to speculate continues until then. Athletes can be ranked in three tiers and here are our top picks:
Tier 1 Shot Put Athletes who “may” win a medal at Tokyo 2020
To be frank, only Ryan Crouser falls in a category beyond this in Track and Field for Tokyo 2020 Olympics. However, a three time World Champion (indoor and outdoors) Tom Walsh of New Zealand and Crouser’s compatriot Joe Kovacs would make sure that it would not be easy for Crouser to pick that shot put Gold Medal at Tokyo Olympic Games.
The game of Shot put has not changed much since 2019 World Championships of Doha, Qatar except Ryan Crouser of USA looking to make a Baseball out of Shot Put for a home run.
Seeing two World Records from Crouser on home soil make it look like he is the King of Shot put at the moment. By the time, 2022 World Athletics Championships, Oregon knocks the door for the Track and Field world, the situation might change but at this time, Ryan Crouser of USA is the King.
Tier 2 Shot Put Athletes who may win a medal at Tokyo 2020
Italian Leonado Fabbri, Brazilian Romani, Mihaljevic from Croatia, and Haratyk from Poland may be able to put themselves into the throws of 22.00+ meters but it would be very difficult to snatch a medal from big dogs.
Tier 3 Shot Put Athletes who may win a medal at Tokyo 2020
Konrad BUKOWIECKI, Armin SINANČEVIĆ, Tomáš STANĚK, Chukwuebuka ENEKWECHI and all others fall in this category to make the final of Wednesday, August 4th, 2021 and fight for the Glory in Track and Field.
