Shot put star Ryan Crouser has taken home the gold at the past two Olympics and is looking to once again win at Paris 2024.

At six-foot-seven and 320 pounds, two-time Olympic champion Ryan Crouser needs a lot of food to fuel his quest for gold.

"We'll follow a recipe for a family of four. She has one serving and I'll have the other three. A normal serving for most dinners is around 400 calories, so three servings gives me 1,200," he says."It definitely gets expensive. I'm at $200 to $250 a week for myself alone," he says. "The way that I look at it is that it's a pretty significant investment in my athletic performance.

"As you get older, the cards continue to stack against you," he says. "Eventually, time is going to win." Crouser threw his personal record last year, a feat his younger self would never have thought possible. " those little goals and see that progress day to day, week to week, instead of going 'I want to throw a PR,'" he says. "Find those little victories when that big goal becomes more and more difficult to get. Get enough of those little wins and you'll get to where you want to be, even if it seemed impossible when you first started out."Crouser won his first Olympic gold medal at Rio 2016.

"When I'm struggling with the mental aspect I ask myself 'Well, what else would I be doing?'" he says. "I'd be working in an office as a financial consultant. And I'd much rather be doing this. It's gotten me through a lot of times."
