Florian, Cantwell didn't start because he had back spasmsduring the morning qualifying. I heard this from 3 very reliable sources, not cwell himself.

Thank for the opportunity Ryan!
I would like to know if you had expected Richards to medal? I did not have him on my list. I thought Walsh or Hoffa would medal instead of Richards.After pan am he entered my short list of potential medalists along with the 4 Americans, storl, and Tom Walsh. Anything can happen at WC, that has been proven over and over again.
-
what are you trying to do next year to get a spot for rio. Maybe cantwell is not competing anymore and one less competitor for the three spots. Or do you have anything in mind what you want to change?
Stay healthy most of all. That is what got me this year. My ankle injury from 2008 recurs once in a while, and it came back in late May/ early June this year. This caused some technical issues that I didn't have time to work out before competing for my spot on the Beijing team. I also have a big move planned.
-
Will you have the opportunity to compete at the Brussels Diamond League met?
Thanks.Yes, I hope to.
-
Have you had any injuries this season?
Yes, my ankle, it forced me to alter my technique after June (prefontaine) and I didn't have the reps I needed with the altered technique to make the team. It was very frustrating as I felt like I was in great shape coming out of indoor season. I didn't do any one thing to my ankle, it is just a persistent recurring thing. It will go away in time.
-
Are you staying in Pennsylvania this winter or might you be spending some time in a warmer climate?
My wife and I have our house in Pennsylvania listed for sale and will be moving to Arizona (phoenix). To train with Dave dumble and Jordan Clarke at ASU, and possibly from time to time at John Godina's Altis.

Thank you very much for you willingness on this forum.
Who of the younger putters do you see as having a great future?
If I may ask two here, might we see all shot putters rotating in Tokyo 2020?
No problem! It's tough to say who will make it. I train with Darrell Hill at Psu right now and he has tons of potential. There are just so many candidates right now in the U.S. It is really difficult to tell.

Does your young son attend training sessions with you on occasion?
Yes he does! He even has his own 4 lb soft shot put he throws once in a while when he decides he wants to. He threw like 2.5m with it, he is 2 years old so that's pretty good! He also loves jumping in the sand, his broad jump is like 1.2m. He loves it
