PARIS (Reuters) - Double world champion Chase Jackson of the United States failed to qualify for the Olympic shot put final on Thursday after a miserable performance in the heats.

Jackson had two fouls and then managed only 17.60 metres with her third throw, almost two metres short of the automatic qualifying mark of 19.15, to finish 17th, with 12 advancing to Friday's final.
