Canada’s Sarah Mitton finishes third in shot put at Diamond League meet
Canada's Sarah Mitton secured third place in the women's shot put at a Diamond League meet in Poland on Saturday. The 30-year-old from Brooklyn, N.S., recorded her best throw of 19.34 metres on her fifth attempt, placing her behind Chase Jackson of the United States, who won the meet with a throw of 20.92 metres, and Jessica Schilder of the Netherlands, who placed second at 20.20 metres.
Mitton, a two-time world indoor champion and the 2023 world silver medallist, currently sits second in the Diamond League women’s shot put standings, trailing behind Schilder after winning the Paris meet in June. The competition continues on Sunday in Poland, with world champions Ethan Katzberg and Camryn Rogers of Canada participating in the hammer throw, with the Diamond League final set to take place on September 4-5 in Brussels.
