Sarah Mitton aims for gold in Santiago following her silver win in Budapest. “My goal for Pan Ams is to bring home a gold medal,” said Mitton, a Tokyo 2020 Olympian. “The opportunity to wear the maple leaf is something that I dreamt of as a kid.”
The summer saw team members setting new Canadian records. Ethan Katzberg became Canada’s youngest men’s world champion in hammer throw. Charles Philibert-Thiboutot, a Toronto 2015 Pan Am bronze medalist, set a new national record in the non-Olympic 2000m event. Evan Dunfee broke his personal best by two minutes in the 20km race walk at the World Championships, finishing fourth.
The 20km race walk will be contested on October 29 (Day 9), while the track and field events take place October 30 to November 4 (Days 10 to 15) at the Estadio Nacional.
