Thomsen supported 20.66, which is 23 centimeters behind his year’s best. Vossingen was close to being among the top eight who got six throws, then he had to have delivered a shock of 20.82. It was triple American, Olympic champion and world record holder Ryan Crouser won with a championship record 22.94.
