It’s been 112 years since Canada’s last Olympic hammer throw medal, but Ethan Katzberg, 22, is heavily favoured to win its first gold after topping the podium in his world-championship debut last year.
The final starts at 2:15 p.m. ET. The second-best throw in qualifying went to Canada’s Rowan Hamilton.
The Nanaimo, B.C., native is unbeaten in 2024, owns the top four throws of the year and looked sharp in qualifying with the best toss there too.
Katzberg’s top challengers include defending Olympic champion Wojciech Nowicki and five-time world champ Pawel Fajdek, both of Poland.
