Olympic Games repeat for Roos – seventh in Paris: "Completely okay"

Paris was just like Tokyo. Shot putter Fanny Roos finished seventh in the Olympic Games final. I threw okay, but didn't get a full hit, she says after 18.78 meters.

The second attempt was Fanny Roos' best in the shot put final at Stade de France.

18.78 meters were enough to be among the eight best in the starting field – and gave her three more attempts in front of the packed arena on the outskirts of Paris.

Three chances that didn't result in longer distances.

The 29-year-old finished seventh – just like in Tokyo 2021.

If I had said before the competition that I would finish seventh, I would have thought it was a good placement considering my season and what others have done, she says.

At the same time, you want to throw longer, but it's the results here and now that count.

For Olympic Games debutant Axelina Johansson, the final was over after three attempts.

She reached 18.03 meters in the first, followed up with two straight fouls and finished tenth.

It's mixed feelings. I'm disappointed that I didn't throw longer, she says.

At the same time, I was ranked 16th and finished tenth, so I still think I did pretty well.

Yemisi Ogunleye from Germany reached 20 meters with her last attempt and won ahead of Maddison-Lee Wesche, New Zealand, and Song Jiayuan, China, who threw 19.86 and 19.32 respectively.
