Ryan Crouser and Joe Kovacs have finished 1-2 in three consecutive Olympics after taking gold, silver in Paris.
SAINT DENIS , France — Ryan Crouser looked at teammate Joe Kovacs after the pair had finished first and second in the shot put for a third consecutive Olympics and wondered. “I don’t know how Joe keeps doing it at 35,” Crouser said. That’s how old Crouser will be for the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles and the question was already being asked if he would look to extend his record streak of championships.
He scratched on his next two and then passed on his final with the gold already clinched. Kovacs earned his third consecutive silver on his final throw of the night as the rain began falling at Stade de Paris. He jumped from fourth to second with a 72-8 to get the edge over Jamaica’s Rajindra Campbell. Payton Otterdahl of the U.S. was fourth. “I’m really proud of that last throw,” Kovacs said.
