Ryan Crouser Shatters The Shot Put World Record & How About Woody Kincaid! | Trials Talk Day 1

Chris Chavez and Kyle Merber discuss the first day of the U.S. Olympic Track and Field Trials live from Eugene, Oregon, where Ryan Crouser demolished the world record with a 23.37m throw to win the men’s shot put. We slept on Woody Kincaid and paid the price as he won the men’s 10,000m in 27:54.62. We unpack the first round of the women’s 1,500m after the controversy regarding Shelby Houlihan‘s four-year ban, Erik Sowinski out for revenge in the men’s 800m and much more.
