Men: 23.12metres Randy Barnes (USA) 20.5.90

Randy Barnes (USA). Born 16.6.66

Eight years after agonisingly losing out to Ulf Timmermann with his final throw at the Seoul Olympics, Barnes finally achieved his ambition.

He became Olympic champion at Atlanta.

With a last round throw of 21.62m he rose from sixth to first pushing the world champion John Godina into silver.

He still holds both the indoor and outdoor shot put records.
