Two-time shot put world champ Jackson posts world leading 20.95m

Two-time reigning women's shot put world champion Chase Jackson unleashed a world-best effort for the year with a distance of 20.95 meters to win the Iron Wood Classic on Saturday.

Text size:

Jackson broke her own American record of 20.76m from 2023 and her effort was the world's best women's throw since 2012.

"Got a little excited but know I've got more in the tank!" Jackson posted on social media along with a video of her performance.

Jackson, who turns 31 next month, won world titles in 2022 at Eugene and 2023 in Budapest but she was eliminated in qualifying in her Olympics debut last year in Paris.

Jackson is a four-time US indoor champion and four-time US outdoor champion.

She is a three-time podium finisher at the world indoors, taking second in 2022 at Belgrade and third in 2024 at Glasgow and earlier this year at Nanjing, China.
