The Brooklyn, N.S., native will be competing in the women's shot put Diamond League final on Saturday in Eugene, Ore. She is one of four Canadians competing at the Prefontaine Classic, with Marco Arop , Andre De Grasse and Aaron Brown all running on Sunday at Hayward Field.
"That and the PB , I would say really would be the motivation for the season. I wanna highlight how hard I've worked but it's also a pretty major accomplishment to win the Diamond League final." "I do think I haven't had that result this season that really shows how hard I worked this year and the changes I've been able to make technically."
Mitton's journey to the Diamond League final included a second-place finish with an 18.86-meter throw in rainy conditions in Thum, Germany, on Sept. 1. She secured her spot in Saturday's final with a 19.76-meter throw in a Diamond League meet in Brussels on Sept. 7. With the Brussels' meet in mind, the name of the city itself became a code word — a mental cue — whenever her attention began to waver.If someone offered her a beer, the response was the same:"Brussels."
