Vi Mizuno sets mark in weight throw Vi Mizuno made her final throw count at an international track and field event. (Photo by Cam Hutchinson) Cam Hutchinson Saskatoon Express i Mizuno had one throw left at an international masters track and field event last month in Toronto. The Saskatoon athlete knew she had to hit 11 metres in the weight throw to win the North American — and beyond — championship. A woman from British Columbia had thrown theAaron weight 10.93 metres.

Mizuno trusted her training when she stepped onto the concrete pad for her final attempt. “By the time you get up to throw, if you don’t have the technique down, it’s too late. It’s a matter of doing the habit thing that you do a million times. Just get up there and throw,” she said during a recent interview at Griffiths Stadium. Mizuno asked the official to mark

where 10 metres was in the landing area. The official did so and stood at the 11-metre mark. “I threw it right at him. It was so cool because he said, ‘You knew where you wanted it to go.’ It was exciting because I knew I had the gold and had broken the record.” Mizuno threw that sucker 11.19 metres. It was her last event in three days of
throwing in the age 65-and-over competition. The first day was a pentathlon with competitors competing in discus, shot put, javelin, hammer throw and weight throw. Mizuno came home from Toronto with the gold in weight throw and bronze medals in discus and javelin. The meet also served as the Canadian Masters track and field games. (Continued on page 11)
