The Men's shot put event at the 2011 World Championships in Athletics was held at the Daegu Stadium on September 1 and 2.
David Storl made a major improvement to achieve a new personal best of 21.50, leading the qualifying round by 45 cm (a foot and a half).
2007 Champion, Reese Hoffa, took the early lead and held it until Storl threw a new personal best of 21.60 in the second round. Andrei Mikhnevich put a 21.40 in the third round to get close to Storl. In the fourth round, world leader, Dylan Armstrong, took the lead with a 21.64, which held up as the leader until the final throw of the competition, when Storl threw a third personal best of 21.78 to win.
In 2013, it was revealed that Andrei Mikhnevich tested positive for a prohibited substance at the 2005 World Championships. Since this was his second offense, he was given a lifetime ban and all his results from August 2005 and on were annulled. [1]
