Canadian hammer thrower Camryn Rogers has been named a finalist for the Women’s World Athlete of the Year award.
World Athletics announced the 10 finalists for its men’s and women’s top athlete awards in a release Tuesday.
Rogers, 27, had the five best throws in the world this year, including a toss of 81.13 metres that broke her own North American record and stands second globally all-time.
The reigning Olympic champion and two-time defending world champion from Richmond, B.C., won her second straight Commonwealth Games title this summer in Glasgow, Scotland.

The winner will be announced at the World Athletics Awards on Nov. 29 in Monaco.
