2024 Women’s Shot World Rankings

Rated No. 2 behind Chase Jackson in 2023, Sarah Mitton reversed that outcome this time. (VICTOR SAILER/PHOTO RUN)

NO SHORTAGE OF DATA HERE. Sarah Mitton and Chase Jackson met 8 times: at all 5 of the regular-season DL meets (with Jackson winning each time) and at the 3 majors (OG, World Indoor & DL Final, with Mitton beating Jackson each time)…

AGAINST LOWER RANKERS they were almost identical, with the Canadian having a combined record of 32–12 and the American 37–12 (although Jackson had slightly better records against No. 3 Ogunleye and No. 5 Gong). Mitton has a slight edge in marks as well, but her wins at the WIC and DLF (and qualifying for the OG Final), outweigh Jackson’s string of DL wins and head-to-head advantage…

BOTH WERE INEXPLICABLY off at the Olympics, Mitton ending up 12th and Jackson failing to qualify for the final… Mitton is the first Canadian ever to be No. 1.
