Masters M35 shot put world record progression

Masters M35 shot put world record progression is the progression of world record improvements of the shot put M35 division of Masters athletics. Records must be set in properly conducted, official competitions under the standing IAAF rules unless modified by World Masters Athletics.

The M35 division consists of male athletes who have reached the age of 35 but have not yet reached the age of 40, so exactly from their 35th birthday to the day before their 40th birthday. The M35 division throws exactly the same 16 Lb./7.260 Kg implement as the Open division.[1] These competitors all threw their records in open competition. Oldfield improved the record three times during his series on his 35th birthday in Berkeley, California. His 22.19 was just 3 cm short of the standing official world record, though he had thrown 22.86 five years earlier, but that throw had been disallowed because Oldfield was a professional, against the rules at that time.[2][3]
