Canadian hammer thrower Ethan Katzberg is looking to add a Pan Am Games title to the surprise gold medal he won at this year's world championships.


Katzberg is the youngest men's world champion ever in this event and the first Canadian hammer thrower to win a world title — beating Camryn Rogers, who captured the women's gold in Budapest, by a few days.


The throw surpassed his previous best by over two metres and remains the Canadian under-23 record.


From a 76-metre thrower with a Commonwealth Games silver in 2022, Katzberg became a Canadian, world, and Pan American Games champion this year, smashing records along the way.


He currently owns the top three national bests, including his Pan Am record of 80.96 last Saturday.. Katzberg made history as the youngest men's hammer throw world champion, the youngest medallist ever in the event, and the first Canadian man to reach the podium in the event at worlds..

Armstrong captured bronze in the shot put at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, silver at the 2011 world championships in Daegu, and bronze at the following worlds in 2013 in Moscow.


He won the world title in Budapest, Hungary, in August, to become the first Canadian man to reach the podium in the event at a world championship.
