ZURICH — Canada’s Sarah Mitton won the women’s shot put at the Diamond League final on Wednesday.

The Brooklyn, N.S., native fell just a centimetre short of her personal best with a top throw of 20.67 metres.

Jessica Schilder of the Netherlands (20.26) and Chase Jackson of the United States (20.08) placed second and third, respectively.

Mitton owns the third-furthest throw of the season (20.68) behind Jackson (20.95) and Schilder (20.69).

It’s the seventh time that the 29-year-old Mitton has thrown 20-plus metres in 2025, including the indoor season.
