For the first time in Olympic history the podium has shown the exact same athletes as winners in an individual event, as that of the previous Games in 2016.

Ryan Crouser and Joe Kovacs from the USA, and Tomas Walsh from New Zealand have regained the same winning positions that they had acquired in the 2016 Games, in the ongoing Tokyo Olympic Games as well.
