Rotorua shot putter Lisa Adams has won gold at the Para Athletics World Championships in Paris.
Adams, 32, successfully retained her world shot put F37 title with a championship record performance of 14.84m, 4cm better than her 2019 performance.
Adams is coached by her sister, two-time Olympic champion Dame Valerie Adams, and led the competition throughout.
“I just needed to get a safe throw out there and just build on that, which I did,” Adams said.
“We don’t train to finish second, you want to come first, and that was the goal. I’m also pleased to get a slot for New Zealand [at the Paris Paralympics next year by finishing top four] — I feel that was a good team goal.”
