2023 Women’s Shot World Rankings

An oblique injury plagued Chase Ealey for part of the season before her spectacular turnaround in late summer. (VICTOR SAILER/PHOTO RUN)

LAST YEAR CHASE EALEY became only the third American women (after Earlene Brown in ’58 and Michelle Carter in ’16) ever to be No. 1. Adding to her list of honors, she’s now the first American ever to be on top twice…

THE OKLAHOMA STATE ALUM had her ups and downs but finished the season with 3 straight wins, including the WC and DL Final…

NOTABLE IN THE No. 5 position, Lijao Gong scored for a record-tying 16th time (with Val Adams & Helena Fibingerová). She also picked up enough points to slip by Adams for the event’s all-time scoring lead, 131-130…

IN THE U.S. LEADERS department, Ealey is now the No. 2 scorer ever, but her 30-point total leaves her with several years before she can match Carter’s 57.
