Ryan Crouser After Becoming A Three-Time Olympic Champion In The Shot Put Despite A Season With Injuries | Paris 2024 Recap + Reflection
"You’re going to have stuff go wrong regardless. This year I had a lot of stuff go wrong, but it’s not necessarily about not having anything go wrong. It’s about how you respond to those issues that will inherently come up.” Today’s guest is Ryan Crouser. Ryan just won his third straight Olympic gold medal in the men’s shot put in Paris, becoming the first shot putter in history to win three Olympic titles. He did so with a mark of 22.90m, which is the second best in Olympic history, behind only his performance from Tokyo in 2021. The season wasn’t easy for Ryan after winning World Indoors in Glasgow in March, he battled through pectoral and elbow injuries throughout most of the spring and the early summer that forced him to open his season at the U.S. Olympic Trials. Despite this adversity, he still came out on top when it mattered most, and now he’s chasing something big in the last few Diamond League meets of the year. In this episode, he talks through the recovery process after picking up an elbow injury at the World Indoor Championships in March and then tearing his pectoral muscle about a month later. Ryan wasn’t able to open his season until the U.S. Trials, but he picked up the win there to secure his spot in Paris. The Olympic final was never in doubt, as his first throw was good enough to win the competition by almost half-a-meter, and rain in the final three rounds stymied a comeback attempt from his rivals. His third straight Olympic gold makes him only the fourth thrower to ever win three Olympic titles. With the highest-pressure competition of the year out of the way, Ryan is ready to produce something massive, closing out his season with six meets in the span of three weeks.

1500m Olympic Bronze Medalist Georgia Bell Reflects On Her Breakout Performance At The Paris Olympics | Recap + Reflection
"I genuinely told myself that I was born for it. On the start line, I kept saying that to myself. I was like, ‘I was born for this.’ It just made me feel like I was totally meant to be there, and as long as I was going to be brave, I would be rewarded." My guest for today’s episode is Georgia Bell just a month or so after her first appearance on the show where we detailed her remarkable comeback to the sport. Well…now she’s an Olympic bronze medalist in the 1500m. In the Olympic final, she shocked many – not really the CITIUS MAG crew – by running a British record of 3:52.61. She was just 0.05 seconds shy of a silver medal, but her perfectly timed push in the final stretch earned her a place on the podium, overtaking Ethiopia's Diribe Welteji by a mere 0.14 seconds. As Faith Kipyegon claimed her third consecutive title, Bell’s remarkable performance capped an unforgettable night for Team GB. If you haven’t listened to her first episode go back and do that because this one picks up right where we left off in her season build-up to her first Olympic Games and and how she made history in the race of a lifetime.
