These are the official results of the men's shot put event at the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona, Spain. There were a total number of 27 participating athletes. The event took place on 31 July 1992.[1]
Switzerland's Werner Günthör was again favored, having won the 1987 and 1991 World Championships. But he was below par and placed only fourth. American Mike Stulce was leading, having the four longest throws of the event, and winning gold with 21.70. He won over teammate Jim Doehring, who threw 20.96 in round two for the silver. Russian Vyacheslav Lykho had his two best throws in the first two rounds, getting the bronze with 20.94. All three medalists were returning from doping suspensions.[2][3]
