Nova Scotia’s Sarah Mitton can now add world champion to her long list of accomplishments.
The Olympic shot putter from Brooklyn, Queens County, captured the gold medal Friday morning at the World Athletics Indoor Championships in Glasgow.
“Incredible. I’ve been waiting for this for a long time,” she said in an interview via Zoom from Glasgow shortly after her win.
“I’ve just been up in the top but never really on top at a world championship and now I’ve done three outdoor worlds and this is my second indoor worlds so it’s been a long time coming, so it’s just really sweet.”
