Une nouvelle histoire d'amour

Scénario incroyable et inattendu lors des deux concours du lancer du marteau avec un doublé Canadien qui valait son pesant d'or chez les bookmakers.

Quelques jours après la surprise signée Katzberg, c'est sa compatriote Camryn Rogers qui triomphe sur le concours féminin. Agée de 24 ans, elle avait remporté le titre mondial juniors en 2018 et terminé 5e des JO de Tokyo.

L'an passé elle terminait 2e aux mondiaux d'Eugene derrière la star de la discipline Brooke Andersen, éliminée en qualifications à Budapest.

La réaction de la gagnante :

"Ethan (Katzberg, CAN) really set the stage out there. I feel Canada is making its presence known all across the world. Being able to win this medal for Canada means the world to me. I am so proud to represent my country on the world's stage.

You never know what can happen on the day of the finals. Everything is possible and that is what makes championships so exciting. On the day you need to be ready to throw your best.

With all training I have done, being able to come here, throw consistently and have one of the best series in my career to get a medal - it shows I am doing something right. I cannot be any happier.

Competing in the final with such amazing and talented throwers makes this piece of history even better. It enriches the experience knowing you are among amazing people who are all aiming for the same goal. It makes me so happy to share this moment with them.

This medal is a good step in the right direction. I am excited about what next year will bring. Paris will be huge."
