In another post-Games rematch, America's silver medallist shot putter Christian Cantwell beat Poland's Tomasz Majewski -- who won gold in Beijing -- by throwing 20.84 metres on his sixth throw. Cantwell won by nearly half a metre.

Kenya's Wilfred Bungei, another Olympic champion, beat his own Shanghai Stadium record by winning the men's 800 metres with a time of one minute 44 seconds.

The event, which is in its fourth year, is vying to be upgraded and added to the list of Golden League events, currently a series of six in Europe with a one-million-dollar jackpot for each event shared by the winners.
