Canada wasted no time making a splash at the 2021 U20 World Athletics Championships in Nairobi, Kenya.
 
Heather Abadie’s bronze medal performance capped a busy day for Canada. The 18-year-old from Port Elgin, Ont. was perfect through three jumps, clearing 3.80 metres, 3.90 metres and 4.05 metres before stalling at 4.15 metres.
 
“I think it went amazing in the first part and then I hit a wall and I couldn’t figure what else to do,” said Abadie. “I still did the best I could with what I had and it was an amazing experience. I feel so honoured and thankful for this opportunity and hopefully I can go next year and win another medal.”
