Jessica Gyamfi has had a standout season in university athletics.
In this episode of Ottawa and the Future of Sports, we speak with the University of Ottawa shot putter who made school history by becoming the first woman to earn a field event medal at the U SPORTS Track and Field Championships — winning bronze with a throw of 13.32 metres.
We discuss how she got into the sport, the focus required for each throw, and how she manages her training while studying nursing. From setting school records to earning gold at the Ontario Championships, Jessica shares what keeps her grounded and motivated.
It’s a thoughtful look at the discipline behind the throws — and the student-athlete experience.
