Chase Ely of the USA won the gold in ironball at the World Championships in Athletics in Eugene, USA.

Eli won the world title in her first attempt, scoring 20.49m, ahead of defending champion and Olympic champion in Tokyo last summer, China’s Gong Lijiao, who settled for silver with 20.39m, which she reached in her penultimate fifth attempt.

And she returned the bronze to Jessica Schilder from the Netherlands, throwing 19.77 m in the second and fifth penultimate attempts.

This is the first gold for the United States in the global version, which for the first time in their history is placed on their territory.

On the other hand, Lijiao, 33, solidified her record for most medals in competition and for the eighth edition in a row by winning her seventh medal in an unprecedented achievement, including two world titles (2017 and 2019), a silver (2015) and three bronzes ( 2009, 2011 and 2013).
