At last year’s Welsh Indoor Athletics Championships, Sabrina Fortune outlined her ambitions for the coming year.

With both the Para Athletics World Championships in May and the Paris Paralympics in September circled on her 2024 calendar, there was plenty to aim for.

And Fortune knew exactly what she wanted – two titles and the F20 shot put world record.

“I want both golds,” she had told me immediately after winning the senior women’s shot put title at the National Indoor Athletics Centre in Cardiff.

“But I really want a world record at the Paralympics. That’s what my aim is. I’ve been aiming for that for the last two years.”

Fast forward 12 months to last weekend, and I was interviewing Fortune again, once more in the wake for her winning the Welsh indoor shot put title.
