The shot put sees USA hoping to complete the Olympic double of gold medals in the men's and women's competitions.
Ryan Crouser is the heavy favourite in the men's, with the 31-year-old hoping to win his third consecutive Olympic gold after triumphs in Rio and Tokyo.

His USA team-mate Joe Kovacs seems his biggest threat - however, if Crouser turns up and performs, he's likely leaving France with the gold, even with his injury problems this year.
In the women's event, USA's Chase Jackson is making her Olympic debut, and she's the favourite to win gold. However, it's wide open, with defending champion Gong Lijiao of China and Canada's Sarah Mitton also in the mix.
