Video: Ryan Crouser Sets Shot Put World Record at US Track and Field Olympic Trials

Ryan Crouser set the world record in the shot put Friday during the U.S. Track and Field Olympic Trials at Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon.

Crouser's fourth attempt nearly sailed past the entire sector and was logged at 23.37 meters (76 feet, 8¼ inches).

Randy Barnes owned the previous record of 23.12 meters, a mark that had stood since May 1990.

Crouser set the indoor shot put record by hitting 22.82 meters during an an American Track League event in January. He'll look to defend his gold medal in the shot put at the Summer Olympics in Tokyo.
