SPORTS 18.07.2022

Two-time Olympic champion Ryan Crouser delighted his home state fans by winning gold at the World Athletics Championships in Eugene, Oregon, on Sunday.

Text size:

Crouser, born in Portland and raised in the Oregonian town of Boring, managed a best of 22.94 metres in a US cleansweep.

Joe Kovacs, silver medallist at the last two Olympics behind Crouser, but the two-time defending world champion, had to be content with silver with 22.89m.

Josh Awotunde rounded out the all-American podium with a best of 22.24m for bronze.

It was the second US cleansweep of these championships after Fred Kerley led a trio of sprinters to glory in Saturday's 100m.
