The night at Stade de France kicked off with a series of medal ceremonies, starting with the men's shot put event. The podium saw Ryan Crouser and Joe Kovacs claiming the top two spots, continuing their streak of American dominance in the sport that began in 2016 in Rio de Janeiro and continued in 2021 in Tokyo. The familiar strains of the 'Star-Spangled Banner' filled the national stadium, marking another proud moment for the United States in the world of athletics.
