Michelle Denee Carter (born October 12, 1985) is an American shot putter, and the current Olympic women's champion. She is the current American record holder in the event with a distance of 20.63 m (67 ft 8 in) set at the 2016 Olympic Games. She was Inducted into the Texas Track and Field Hall of Fame in 2018.
Carter won the 2016 gold medal at the Rio Olympics on the last of her six throws, edging two-time defending champion Valerie Adams of New Zealand. In doing so, Carter became the first United States women's athlete to win the event since the women's competition began at the 1948 Summer Olympic Games in London, England, and only the second American to win any medal (Earlene Brown, bronze medal, 1960).
Carter broke her own American Record with the Olympic Gold Medal-winning toss of 20.63 meters or 67' 8 1/4".
She finished fifteenth at the 2008 Olympic Games and fourth at the 2012 Olympic Games.
