2019 World Athletics Championships – Men's shot put

The men's shot put at the 2019 World Athletics Championships was held at the Khalifa International Stadium in Doha from 3 to 5 October 2019.

Four members of the 74 foot club were here, with Darlan Romani joining in 2019 and Ryan Crouser improving his personal best to #6 all time.

As the last thrower throughout the competition, Tomas Walsh launched a new Oceana continental record 22.90 m (75 ft 1+1⁄2 in).

In the final round, Kovacs stepped into the ring and tossed it 22.91 m (75 ft 1+3⁄4 in), equalling Alessandro Andrei for the #3 thrower in history.

Romani's best throw of 22.53m would have been good enough to win the gold medal in every World and Olympic shot put competition prior to this championship, however it was not enough to secure even the bronze here as he finished in 4th place.
