Summary

2016 Olympic champion, #7 all-time and the 2017 season leader Ryan Crouser was the favourite, having won every single meet of the season leading up to the Championships. Nine athletes reached the automatic qualification mark of 20.75m in the qualification round. The defending world champion Joe Kovacs and the European U23 champion Konrad Bukowiecki qualified for the final as non-automatic qualifiers.

In the final Joe Kovacs led after the first round with a put of 21.48 metres, and in the second round he was overtaken by Tomas Walsh with 21.64 metres while Stipe Žunić moved into third with 21.46 metres. The order of the top three never subsequently changed, although Walsh and Kovacs both improved their distances in the third round. In the final round Kovacs put beyond the 22 metre line, but this was a foul throw. Already the winner, Walsh finished with his best put of 22.03 metres.[2]
