Sarah Mitton Stripped of Diamond League Trophy After Protest in Zurich
Officials ruled her 20.67-metre attempt a foul for stepping out of the circle before the shot landed.
Overview
- The protest led meet officials to invalidate the throw that initially appeared to give Mitton a second straight title.
- Jessica Schilder won with 20.26 metres, Chase Jackson placed second at 20.08, and Mitton finished third with 19.99.
- Mitton remains ranked No. 2 in the world and holds the season’s third-best mark at 20.68, behind Jackson (20.95) and Schilder (20.69).
- The voided 20.67 metres was one centimetre off Mitton’s personal best and would have marked her seventh 20‑metre throw of 2025.
- The world championships run in Tokyo from Sept. 13–21, and Mitton enters as the reigning outdoor world silver medallist and a two-time indoor world champion.
