FILE - In this June 18, 2021, file photo, Ryan Crouser competes during the prelims of men's shot put at the U.S. Olympic Track and Field Trials in Eugene, Ore.

He said his event was the equivalent of picking up the heaviest bowling ball and trying to throw it the length of a basketball court. (AP Photo/Charlie Riedel, File)
