The Brooklyn, N.S., native won her first global title last weekend with a gold medal in shot put at the world athletics indoor championships in Glasgow, Scotland. Mitton reset her national indoor record for the second time in less than two weeks in the process.
Mitton threw a season-best 20.22 metres on her sixth and final attempt to seal the deal after hitting 20.20 on her fourth attempt. She had initially reset her previous Canadian indoor record of 19.80 with a 20.08 in Nehvizdy, Czech Republic, on Feb. 20. “Paris is obviously the most important, so most of the athletes, this was the focus prior to that. So when you do it on the day of a major competition, you know that everybody’s done their best to be in the best shape they can for that meet.”
