Theisen-Eaton Hopes Portland Will Be Scene of First Global Title

Published by IAAF on January 13, 2016

As good as it is to win a major championships medal, there’s only so much silver that any athlete can take.

Canadian heptathlete Brianne Theisen-Eaton has achieved three second-place finishes at the past three global championships. But in March she hopes to take her first global title when she competes in her adopted home state at the IAAF World Indoor Championships Portland 2016.

“I’m excited about the World Indoor Championships coming to Portland,” she says. “It is the same organisation that has hosted the World Junior Championships in 2014 and the US World Championships Trials. I have full faith they will do a great job.”
