Chase Jackson is focused on the major prize, the gold medal at this Friday’s World Indoor Champs Women’s shot put Final, in Torun, Poland. At World Indoors, Chase has a silver from 2022, and bronzes in both 2024 and 2025, in her medal collection.
Chase Jackson just does not have the World Indoor shot put gold. And she would like one…
After Chase Jackson won her U.S. title on March 1 at the Ocean Breeze Athletics Complex, in a new American record, Chase spoke with the media. Chase had set a massive indoor AR record of 20.44 meters, and she looked so happy and animated. Her interview with the media was just a lot of fun! That AR was massive, as her previous AR was 20.24 meters!

As the media surrounded Chase in the mixed zone in the U.S. Indoor Championships, Chase told the media that she wanted the gold at Torun. Chase said, smiling, “I’m so sick of doing indoors, and the only way I’m gonna stop is if I finally get a gold medal.”
Chase Jackson was joking, but she was also serious. Chase Jackson is a throw warrior. She is one of the most popular athletes in the world. Just watch the fans reach out to her at the meets in Europe and North America. Chase also feeds on the enthusiasm of throw fans.
The ring at Ocean Breeze is very fast. Shot putters love speed, but they have to control it. Abria Smith set her PB, and Chase got psyched. Chase told the media that she was motivated and hit 20.44 meters, a new American record, and for a few days, the second-best throw in the world.
Jessica Schindler, NED, the European champion and World silver medalist, hit 20.69 meters at the Uber Arena on March 6, 2026, in Berlin, Germany. Jessica’s previous world-leader was a 20.49m throw at Apeldoorn Ominisport Arena in February 2026. Jessica Schindler, Chase Jackson, and Sarah Mitton could be the top three! The Women’s shot put in Torun, Poland, could be epic!
The Women’s shot put should be fun to watch. Please do not miss a throw!
Simple, Easy Goals…
Chase Jackson told the media, ” I just want to win World Indoors and World Outdoors. Simple, easy goals.” I remember smiling. Chase Jackson is comfortable in the media zone; she loves to talk about her event. It is also nice if the media person knows something about the event.
I suggest that the World Champion in Budapest 2023, Eugene 2022 and the silver medalist in Tokyo 2025 throw a couple of big ones, because Jessica Schindler and Sarah Mitton are ready to throw big time!
