Weeks after claiming an unprecedented third consecutive Olympic men\u2019s shot put title in Paris, the American threw 22.90m to match the mark he achieved to get that gold and then went even farther, improving by another three centimetres in the final round to secure the win in Zagreb.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
His US compatriot Payton Otterdahl was second with an outdoor personal best of 22.46m, while Olympic bronze medallist Rajindra Campbell improved his Jamaican record to 22.31m to place third and Italy\u2019s world silver medallist Leonardo Fabbri threw 22.24m for fourth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"It was a fantastic competition. I always love coming to Zagreb and I think that this one topped the list. Not just on performance, but the atmosphere and the energy tonight. You can see it with all the athletes \u2013 22.24m didn't even make the podium, that's a crazy result. I am glad that everyone performed that well here, Crouser was quoted by World Athletics.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"My first round throw of 22.36m usually is enough for the win, especially that late in the season. It helped having those guys to push me to farther distances. I am still on less than 10 competitions this year, so it still feels like I am finding my shape,\" he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
