BACK TO BACK: Ealey repeats as shot put World Champ, keeping USA hot streak alive in field events

well let's get you caught up with two Americans with really good shots Trey of being at the top of the metal stands by the evening's conclusion Maggie Ewan who was a triple threat in college and Arizona state in the hammer The discus and now one of the best shot Putters in the world yeah it gets off to a really good start she's the world leader still coming into this meet but she's got this woman who's been training for this meet only Chase Ely the defending world champion that is how you answer right there hands raised to the sky game on the women's pole ball getting close to the final few throws of China seven times a world medalist having won the world title in 2017 and 2019 moves into second in the fourth round with that effort she's been doing this for 16 years Paul and only twice has she missed a Podium like you said always a threat very consistent using the Glide technique kind of takes a little bit of the variability out of being able to throw far and she's sneaking up the podium so with that effort she moves into second but as they often say not so fast as Sarah Mitten may be viewed by what she saw in the 800 meter foul where her teammate Marco a rope won Canada's first ever title in that discipline she comes in the National Record holder and moves into silver metal position nice Seasons best right there for Sarah Mitten one of the shortest women down there in the final but definitely the fastest well speaking of fast Chase Healey who grew up in New Mexico was the State High School 100 meter champ transitions to the shot and uses that speed and extends her lead yeah I see that speed Sarah Mitten and I will raise you chase Ely has not looked like that her world championship self up until this meet she's been everything's been pointing to Budapest in her training she's looking great Trey we now have our Podium to be determined the order of finish gone China now an eight-time World medalist guaranteed dongmo though coming over and discussing the ruling of that foul with the officials at the event yeah I missed what happened during her throw but you can file a protest and they take a measurement then they can go back and make it official but it's it's looking like it was a clear and present foul and Trey they were Xi'an gon Li Zhao were actually with identical best marks and we've seen that happen a few times this week where you have to go back to your second best Mark so that last throw could be the difference to getting into Podium position meantime Gong Li Zhao can solve that problem by throwing even farther here in the sixth and final round does not look like it'll be past the 20 meter Mark so by way of having a better second throw looks like she has assured her herself a medal love watching a good Glide technique it's it's nice it's more like a catapult you get yourself to the front of that ring as quickly as you can throw that left block down and she's one of the best to ever do it Paul always with medals around her neck after these majors so one woman stands between Chase Ely and her second consecutive World title that is Sarah Mitten who had 5-6 talked to her coach about switching from the Glide to the slide and Richard Parkinson said you need to spin and now she's the Canadian record holder another medal for Canada on this night two more medals into decathlon perhaps upcoming after this event we'll wait to see if it was a fair jump it looks like it was not she tapped the front of the toe board but Sarah Mitten fishing so close to the medals last summer in Eugene to come out here not only to win a medal but it's a silver one throwing culture again everybody congratulating each other all the energy all the attention it's always so so special and then everybody turning and facing this woman now back to back world champion for the United States Jay Sealy well Trey that will be a foul but the smile says it all Chase Ely does it again or U.S teammate Maggie Ewing congratulates her as well she finished in sixth today so the U.S has won Gold in the women's discus and both the men's and women's shots so they sweep the shot for the second consecutive World Championship a lot of camaraderie in this event discipline and Ely coming into grips with the fact that this is an event where it's not easy to repeat no it's not it doesn't happen that often but you can see it right there everybody's got their game face on the intensity is at an all-time high this is for it this is everything this is the world championships and as soon as that final throw is you see the camaraderie in the respect come out [Applause] over to England to train with a new coach in early 22 since that time gold in Oregon Gold in Hungary gong Lee Zhao now with eight Global medals she takes the bronze and Sarah Mitten of Canada the silver medalist in the women's shot put we'll chase you with the first American woman to win the shot put last year at the World Outdoor championships in Eugene Oregon what's it mean tonight to back that up uh yeah it's amazing I haven't had the best season but you know I've been training hard and I knew I was going to connect soon and I'm I'm just glad it happened at the right time take us through the throws and just the emotion that you're experiencing as you compete against the best in the world and then obviously try to give your best now you know I had an early spot again in the competition so me and Paul decided the same thing go out set my mark As far as possible early and then set the tone and I think I really did that and and I actually carried on throughout and throwing good throws uh except I can't seem to get my last throw once I know I won I seem to lose it you were telling me that you've been watching shikari Richardson the Sprinter and now she's inspired you in what kind of way what is it about her that you like yeah you know it's just like the attitude and the confidence I love it like I think she came back and and she she grew as a person in such a cool way and I just like I follow all I love it I want to do a wig reveal but I'm not that cool and what about the nails you want to do the nails I wish I could if I didn't throw a shot I told you when she did that I said it's a little lame with my little crusties I bet if you talk to her she'd give you some tips and pointers out totally Chase congratulations world champion again thank you so much
