EVENT: Athletics: Women's Shot Put
The Aucklander is all set for her second Olympic appearance, where she will be seeking to better her sixth-place finish at Tokyo 2020.
An outstanding age-group athlete and following in the rich tradition of New Zealand shot put exponents, in 2018 she claimed gold at the World U20 Championships in Finland.
After setting a PB for sixth in Tokyo 2020, Maddi has continued to steadily improve, regularly achieving a lifetime best performance at the major championship events.
She won a Commonwealth bronze medal in Birmingham 2022 and impressed at her most recent global championship competition when setting a PB of 19.62m for fourth at the World Athletics Indoor Championships in Glasgow.
Maddi, who is coached by Mike Schofield, often competes in sunglasses describing them as her “lucky charm."
