- Joe Kovacs takes silver with Tomas Walsh winning bronze
- First time in 125-year history the podium was exactly same
Meet the new Tokyo Olympic men’s shot podium. Same as the old one. Ryan Crouser, US, gold. Joe Kovacs, US, silver. Tomas Walsh, New Zealand, bronze.
It doesn’t sound that unusual. But it was the first time in the 125-year history of the Olympics that the podium was the same in any individual event – with the same athletes sitting in the same spots for consecutive Olympic Games.
