The women's shot put at the 2022 World Athletics Championships was held at the Hayward Field in Eugene on 15 and 16 July 2022. ^[1]

Summary

Three weeks after winning the American Championship with a world leading 20.51 m, Chase Ealey returned to the same ring. On the very first throw of the competition, she popped a 20.49 m (67 ft 2+1⁄2 in). Double defending champion and Olympic Gold Medalist Gong Lijiao threw 19.77 m to settle into second place, with Auriol Dongmo at 19.44 m and Gong's Chinese teammate Song Jiayuan at 19.21 m being the only other ones past 19 metres. In the second round, Gong improved her hold on second place with a 19.84 m, which became significant when Dongmo improved to 19.62 m two throws later. Next in the ring, Jessica Schilder took away the bronze medal position with a Dutch record of 19.77 m. By that point in the second round, the medal positions were settled. Gong improved to 20.23 m in the third round and 20.39 m in the fifth round, but still fell 10 cm short of Ealey. Schilder tied her national record in the fifth round, which became the tiebreaker after Sarah Mitton had equalled the 19.77 m three throws earlier.
