The men's shot put event at the 2002 African Championships in Athletics was held in Radès, Tunisia on August 6. [1]
The shot put is a track and field event involving "putting" a heavy spherical object—the shot—as far as possible. The shot put competition for men has been a part of the modern Olympics since their revival in 1896, and women's competition began in 1948.
The 13th African Championships in Athletics were held in Tunis and Radès, Tunisia in August, 2002.
