Carter’s last throw nets 1st US Olympic gold in women’s shot (Yahoo Sports)

Michelle Carter loves to let the tension build. The American shot putter waited until her last throw Friday night to knock off arguably the best woman to ever compete in the event – two-time defending champion Valerie Adams of New Zealand. Now, Carter has a gold medal to go with the silver one her longtime NFL defensive lineman father, Michael Carter, captured in the shot put at the 1984 Los Angeles Games.
