She came into Friday's final ranked second in the world and was on medal-winning streak in the World Athletics Indoor Tour across Europe. "The exciting thing about women's shot is that we're having a moment right now," Mitton said prior to the event. "[There's been] some really big throws so early in the season, so I'd say it's an entirely different competition than last year so I'm going to have to be at my best to do that." Mitton, the Canadian record-holder, said she also saw Nanjing as a "precursor" for the outdoor season and world championships this fall. However, "world indoors right now is about leaving a bit of a legacy behind," writing her name permanently into the books as a champion.
