To me this is one of the great sports viewing weekends all year. NBA playoffs with Boston staging an incredible comeback against Miami, Diamond League in Rabat, Monaco Gran Prix, Indy 500, nascar in Charlotte, PGA golf, some baseball, Giro D'Italia, and Ryan Crouser upstages it all with a phenomenal shot put.
Crouser set his personal best and of course a world record out there again at Drake Stadium in LA yesterday. Saying the result is due to a technique improvement crossing the circle, he basically created his own event and no one is left to challenge him. Joe Kovacs is still capable of some phenomenal throws as well, but he's a few steps out of Crouser's league these days. Here is a description of yesterday's meet from The Guardian.

George-how that giant of a man can do the dance in that very confined area is simply amazing. Looks like they are going to be required to add another three feet to the landing area at which ever venue he chooses to participate in! Nice meet and great coverage on the tube!
