NEW DELHI - Canada's Katie Pegg landed on the podium at the 2025 world para athletics championships with the best throw of her shot put career.

The 21-year-old Pegg, from Markham, Ont., took bronze in the women’s F46 event with a throw of 12.76 metres, earning Canada its first medal in a field event in New Delhi.

"I just went out there, threw a heavy ball really far and I had fun," Pegg said. "I didn't put too much pressure on myself. I knew walking in that I was ready.

"We've been working so hard to get to this very day. Today, walking to that circle, I was ready to go out there and just do the best I could."

Uzbekistan's Karomat Omonova won gold with a throw of 13.07 metres, followed by New Zealand's Holly Robinson at 12.86 metres.
