Doha,Oslo, Rome and Eugene, and now, Stockholm. Those five victories have given Christian Cantwell the Diamond race. His throw of 22.09 meters, the third Christian has throw over the magical 22 meter distance this season, gave him the victory.

Jessica Ennis, the newly crowned European Champion, with a fine score of 6,823, has judiciously decided to end her season, with some consultation with her coach, Tony Minichiello. So, Jessica will be watching the AVIVA London GP instead of competing there!

Tomorrow’s 100 meter race in Stockholm will feature Usain Bolt versus Tyson Gay. RBR will predict a time of 9.72 for the winner. Also watch for new 5,000m AR in Stockholm tomorrow night.
