Bio

Fortune was inspired to step up in the sport in 2012 and has developed into one of the world’s leading F20 shot putters.

Fortune’s first two major championships - the 2015 World Championships and 2016 European Championships - saw her finish fourth which set her up perfectly for Rio 2016 where she won bronze on her Games debut.

In 2018, Fortune claimed her first major title, winning F20 shot put European gold in Berlin. The following year her winning form continued - this time on the world stage, with victory and her first global gold at Dubai 2019 with a PB on her final throw to claim the title.

That performance earned Fortune automatic selection for the Tokyo Paralympic Games, where she finished fifth with a throw of 13.56m.

Fortune was back on top of the podium again in 2023, when the Deeside thrower reclaimed the world title in Paris with a season’s best mark of 14.01m.
