Becker officially became the second Raheny Shamrock athlete to compete at multiple Olympic Games.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, there was also disappointment for Eric Favors in the Men\u2019s Shot Put. The 27-year-old, competing at his first Games, threw a best of 19.02m to finish 27th overall. Unfortunately not enough to progress to the final.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was rough\u201d admitted Favors. \u201cI\u2019ve been dealing with a couple of injuries, but I tried to put my best foot forward but unfortunately it wasn\u2019t enough to qualify\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve had a really weird year. I had this circled on my board, to become an Olympian and I achieved that.\u201d<\/p>\n<a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-16 synved-social-resolution-single
