22.90m！！？？
すげええええ試合だった！！！
現実の試合とは思えなかった
今までは23は流石に行かないだろうって個人的には思ってたけど
今回の試合では弾みで23m行くんじゃないかって本気で思ったわ
コバックスとクラウザーの最終投擲はどこまで行ったんだって鳥肌立ったわ
そんなんどこで言ってる？
インスタのコメントでは東京オリンピックに向けた全米選手権を狙うみたいな文脈に見えるが
Humbled to be in such a great competition, especially with @rcrouser and @tomwalshsp!
From 2013 to 2017 I moved to California to work with Coach Art Venegas. He taught me how to become a World Champion, Olympic medalist, and gave me the tools I needed to succeed in the sport. He is and always will be family to me! I will always be in debt to him for showing me how to do things I only could have ever imagined.
In 2017 I made a decision to leave my California training environment and take a chance on love. I moved to Columbus Ohio to be with Ashley. I experimented with a new technique and struggled more than I ever imagined I would in the process. I doubted and questioned myself and wondered if I should still continue throwing. I was beaten down with all the external vices in our sport. I started to loose the passion for throwing, something I loved so much. In 2018, I only threw over 21 meters one time. I was struggling to get into international meets, the same ones who paid me to show up not long before. I thought it was a good run, but maybe that was a sign to move on. In the fall of 2018 I married my love @ashleykovacsusa . I saw the success she was having coaching her collegiate throwers and started to finally enjoy everything that came from the life of being a professional shot putter.
In 2019 I opened more than my heart to Ashley. I opened my ears and mind. We discussed a plan on how to try and get back on track. She keep repeating a quote from a book she read “you have to be willing to look like a pud to be a stud.” So with that said, in 2019 I spent some time looking like a “pud”.... I lost a meet to an athlete I was coaching, under 20m. I lost to a collegiate athlete, I lost every single diamond league meet I attended, and I was beaten at both indoor and outdoor USA’s.
I won the title of 2019 World Athletics Shot Put Champion with a PR of 22.91‼️ Ashley I love you! You are my north start. I never thought I would throw far again, and let alone doing it with a smile. We had our plan. Not anyone else’s system, not copying and pasting programs, our plan. Thank you and I love you!! I am here because of you.

- Mom @joannakovacs and Larry @larryRoyer, you are the most amazing parents. From sitting in the kitchen this February discussing my 19 meter performance in an indoor meet, hugging you both today as a World Champion in Doha! You are both with me every moment for tick and thin. Love you so much!
Before anyone starts talking about Tokyo, I am going to focus on June 19th first. USA Olympic Trials will be the toughest meet yet and there is no Tokyo until we get through that one. I am
truly honored to represent the USA 🇺🇸 at the past 4 major championship and my goal is to punch that ticket to do it again next year.
Thank you all for

まーとりあえず信じられん試合だった、オールドフィールド超えが3人もいっぺんに出てしまうとか想像すらしなかった
まずウォルシュの1投目は22m50くらい行ったかなと思ったら22m90とか出て、表示が間違ったんじゃないかと思った
当然だが完璧の中の完璧という感じの投擲だった。それでもそこまで行くとはって感じだが
クラウザーは最初左足が外に出そうだったけど4投目からは修正されてた。そこで22m71、普通ならそれで完璧な優勝だが
最終投擲はファーストターンを若干速めにして勢いをつけた感じはあった、結果22m90の大記録だが右にわずかに逸れたから完璧なら真面目に23m行ったかもしれん
コバックスは４・５投目と良い投擲で21m95っていう普通なら好記録で来てたが、22m91は予想を遥かに超えた記録
最終投擲は気合を入れるとこだが、そこで今までよりファーストターンの入りがわずかに落ち着いてて勢い任せではない感じだった
そこから完璧な流れで投げに持って行って投げた後一瞬で後ろを向くくらい高速の回転をして投げ切った結果があの記録
ウォルシュとコバックスは完璧、もしくは完璧以上の投擲だったと思う
クラウザーもほぼ完璧だがもしかするともう一歩伸びしろがあったかもしれん
あとウォルシュの5投目は記録として残ったんだな、それでも3位だが
