Ryan Crouser and WIRED analyze the physics and biomechanics of shot put to explain why throwing 24 meters is extremely difficult.
Ever wonder what the upper limit of the shot put is? The record is 23.12 meters, or just under 75 feet. But could someone come along and put one even further? WIRED's Robbie Gonzalez met up with Olympic record holder Ryan Crouser to find out why putting a shot 24 meters is Almost Impossible.

On “At the Olympics the American men are in danger of failing to win a gold medal in running events for the first time in the modern era of the Games”
Well, let's do some Track and Field Theory. He ran 40 metres in sub-4.8, so he could probbably run a 4.6 or even a 4.5 40 yard dash which is as fast as some slower running backs in the NFL. 5:24 Timestamp. 4.6 40 yard dash generally translates to 11.21 100m, and 4.5 is 10.95. If he lost weight and with him being 6"7 (long stride, good closing speed), he could prob run a mid to low 10, which is definitely as fast as some 400m runners can run it. I know you were joking but maybe it's not too far fetched.
