WPAC 2025: American Teen Middleton Beats Chinese Star In Women's Shot Put F64 As US Edge Ahead Of India In Medal Tally
Teenage American Arelle Middleton: Teenage American Arelle Middleton broke seasoned Chinese star Yao Juan’s stranglehold on the women’s Shot Put F64 gold in the 2025 World Para Athletics Championships at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium here on Friday.
The intensity of competition between the two athletes was very high, with 17-year-old Middleton losing no time in throwing down the gauntlet. A 12.38m effort helped her hold pole position after the opening round. The Chinese legend responded with a 12.42m throw on her second visit to the circle and increase the lead with a 12.82m attempt.
Middleton, who won the F64 silver medal in the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games, was not ready to concede defeat and wound herself up to produce a 12.95m throw on her fourth visit. She scripted another big throw over 12.93m to show that her earlier effort was no flash in the pan.
