She says her "entire focus" is on the Paris Olympics in August.Sarah Mitton raised her Canadian record in women's shot put to 20.68 metres last week.
"I had been throwing exceptionally well in training, so we decided to put it to the test in a meet environment and I was able to put out an even further distance in competition," she told CBC Sports this week."It's all part of the process of chasing those higher numbers for Paris," Mitton said. "I wasn't throwing nearly in my best technical rhythm so there's more centimetres in there.
