Sultana Frizell

Sultana Frizell (born 24 October 1984) is a Canadian track and field athlete competing in the hammer throw.

Frizell was born in Perth, Ontario and started her athletic career in figure skating before taking up track and field in high school.

[1] While attending Perth and District Collegiate Institute, she competed in the shot put, discus, javelin, and hammer throw.

Although she set a Canadian High School Record in the shot put,[2] she ultimately decided to focus on the hammer throw.

On November 1, 2007, Frizell relocated to Kamloops, British Columbia to train under the guidance of former world record holder Anatoliy Bondarchuk.

During the 2008 season, Frizell broke the Canadian senior women's hammer throw record four times and improved her personal best by over three meters.

[7] The 2012 Summer Olympics in London were a disappointment for Frizell, as her first and best throw did not count due to a glitch in the computerized measuring system.
