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.
