Athletics at the 2000 Summer Olympics – Men's shot put

The Men's Shot Put event at the 2000 Summer Olympics as part of the athletics program was held at the Olympic Stadium on Friday, 22 September.

The shot put has been ever present since the beginning of the modern Olympic Games in 1896.

The qualifying athletes progressed through to the final where the qualifying distances are scrapped and they start afresh with up to six throws.

These were the standing world and Olympic records (in meters) prior to the 2000 Summer Olympics.

Held on Friday, 22 September 2000.

The qualifying distance was 20.10 m. For all qualifiers who did not achieve the standard, the remaining spaces in the final were filled by the longest throws until a total of 12 qualifiers.
