00:00Decorated javelin thrower Kishon Walcott missed out on a medal competing at the Zurich Diamond
00:05League.
00:06He had a best to throw today of 83.02 metres in his first throw of the day.
00:11Celebration there for Walcott.
00:12He thought that was good.
00:13It's very early stages here but to be out over 80 metres, quite comfortably over 80 metres
00:18is good for Walcott.
00:20The season's best of 83.71 from last week in Lausanne.
00:24His second best throw was in his fourth attempt with a distance of 81.57 metres.
00:31The competition was won by Pateraj Taranga of Sri Lanka with a beastly throw of 92.07 metres.
00:38Grenada's Anderson Peters was second with a season best effort of 86.93 metres and David
00:45Wegner third 85.16 metres.
00:48Now to the rematch in the women's 100 metres star stack race.
00:53Tina Clayton and Sha'Carri Richardson in the mix but this was a two horse race.
00:58Melissa Jefferson Wooden breaking Julian Alfreds' winning streak the last time these two met.
01:04The solution would need to run faster than she ever did to defeat Jefferson Wooden.
01:09How will she respond?
01:12Well first time, really good start from Julian Alfred this time but Melissa Jefferson Wooden
01:16is also into a running.
01:17Sha'Carri Richardson has gone nowhere.
01:19Julian Alfred taking it to Melissa Wooden.
01:21Is this the first win?
01:22Yes it is!
01:23Alfred gets it.
01:25On the line.
01:2610.69.
01:28Well, well, well.
01:30Alfred breaking the St. Lucia national record.
01:33But shutting down the race in 10.70 seconds.
01:36Jefferson Wooden second in a season's best.
01:3910.70 seconds as well in the photo finish.
01:43Richardson third at 10.97 seconds.
01:47Alfred reflected on the victory.
01:48What made the difference on the last 30 metres?
01:52I won't even say the first, the last 30, I would say the first 13 is really what made
01:56the difference.
01:57Getting out of the block compared to my last race and, you know, standing in front of myself
02:01and remaining in my lane, I would say that could make the difference.
