A tough day for Sarah Mitton at the Olympics in Paris.

The shot putter from Brooklyn, N.S., had trouble with her footing on a wet track and did not make it to the podium.

Steady rain made for difficult throwing conditions in the competition.

The 28-year-old threw for 19.77m in her first attempt earlier in the week to become the first Canadian woman to reach the final in the shot-put event at the Olympics.
