SHANGHAI - China's top sprinter Su Bingtian stormed to victory in the non-points men's 100m and world silver medalist Gong Lijiao notched a convincing triumph in women's shot put at the Shanghai Diamond League meet on Saturday, while double Olympic champion Elaine Thompson of Jamaica won the women's 100m in a world-leading time.
Su's 10.09sec was his best time of the season, but was not a points-scoring event in the second stop of the global Diamond League.
"I ran faster than I had expected," said Su, 27, who was the first Chinese to reach the world men's 100m final at the 2015 championships in Beijing.
