The distance was initially announced as 23.58 meters before organizers gave the official distance as 23.56 meters.

In bright sunshine at UCLA's Drake Stadium, the 30-year-old shot put king from Portland had signaled he was in the mood for a big performance earlier in the competition with throws of 23.23 meters and 23.31 meters.
