This week on The Throw Zone, we go international with our first worldwide guest — Marcus Thomsen, five-time European Championship finalist, World Championship finalist, and 9th place finisher at the 2024 Olympics.

Marcus joins us from Europe to talk all things shot put — from his early days in Norway and Denmark to hitting world-class marks, managing injuries, and training alongside legends of the sport. We get into lifting philosophy, mental toughness, recovery strategies (including cold plunges and sauna work), and the importance of consistency in a thrower’s career. Whether you're chasing college throwing goals, building your training program, or just love elite-level throws talk — this one’s a must-listen.
