Fanny Roos sets personal indoor shot put record of 19.45 meters ahead of World Cup

Shot putter Fanny Roos set a personal indoor record of 19.45 meters at an athletics gala in the Czech Republic.

Roos also had two throws of 19.29 in the competition, where the 31-year-old finished third. Dutchwoman Jessica Schilder, the World Cup outdoor gold medalist this summer, won with a throw of 20.43, and Canadian Sarah Mitton, the World Cup indoor gold medalist last year, was second with 19.89.

With throws over 19.29 (Roos' previous indoor personal best), the Swede had already passed the qualifying threshold for the Indoor World Championships in Poland in March, according to the Swedish Athletics Federation.
