Humbled in Rabat, a healthy Sarah Mitton set for stacked shot put at Meeting de Paris

Sarah Mitton is rested, rejuvenated, and ready to shrug off a uncharacteristic subpar performance.

The reigning Canadian shot put champion put in a solid week of training following an illness and will be ready to compete against a stacked field at the Diamond League stop in Paris on Friday.

Fans can watch a live stream of the event on Friday beginning at 3 p.m. ET on CBCSports.ca, the CBC Sports app, and on CBC Gem.

On May 28, Miton sat mid-pack after her first throw of 18.56 metres in Rabat, Morocco, before struggling with technique and over rotating in the circle. Mitton dipped to 18.12 on her second try, 18.04 on her fifth and didn't qualify among the top three for a sixth and final attempt.

Mitton entered that competition with a cold she and coach Rich Parkinson caught coming out of the USATF Throws Festival in Tucson, Ariz., where she threw a season-best 19.58 for the victory.

"She doesn't want to use any excuses. [Rabat]'s one of those meets where it wasn't there," Parkinson said in an interview with CBC Sports before Mitton competes at the Meeting de Paris Diamond League meet on Friday.

Portugual's Auriol Dongmo threw a 19.28 SB to win in Morocco, which only further disappointed Mitton, who exceeded the distance 12 times last year, including a 20.33 national record at the Canadian track and field championships.

"It was easily in her wheelhouse to take that one," Parkinson said. "It was a bit of a humbling experience for her. She hasn't had many misfires the last couple of years."
