Shanghai DL: The evening of surprises: El Rahman, Coburn, Simic, Biwott, Wenjun
SHANGHAI (CHN, May 18): Second leg of 5th IAAF Diamond League was in many ways special. In cool weather (20 degrees at the beginning) and nearly no wind Sandra Perkovic achieved the best discus result in last 22 years, Renaud Lavillenie was again flying, Justin Gatlin confirmed who is the current sprinting number one. But also totally new names appeared as the winners, first of all Egyptian giant El Rahman in javelin, US steeple runner Emma Coburn, young Robert Biwott in the 800 m, Croatian Ana Simic in high jump and mainly in last event Chinese Xie Wenjun over the hurdles. In total 8 meet records and 7 world leads were registered. Also one African and one DL record. 
Event by event
Men
100 m: Gatlin after top start was never challenged and clocked without wind 9.92 (0.0) world lead. He will finish his Asian tour in Beijing on Wednesday, hopefully finally with good wind. Second Carter 10.12. 
800 m: Youth World champion (but at 1500 m) Biwott surprised at the tape with 1:44.69 PB the “Im the winner” Makhloufi 1:44.73. Olivier and Mutai also sub 1:45, fifth Lewandowski EL 1:45.92.

400mH: World leader Tinsley proved his position with 48.77 MR, second Hanne beat overseas elite 48.86.

TJ: Adams was the king of this event with European lead 2014 17.10 (0.0). All his four valid jumps would be enough to win. 
SP: Cantwell remains unbeaten with 21.73 MR from fifth round. He beat them all. Surprise second Kovacs 21.52 PB only after that global medalists followed (Whiting, Storl, Majewski). 
JT: Super sensation of the day – first throw by Egyptian Abd Ihab El Rahman huge African record, MR, WL and best throw since August 2011 89.21. His previous best from May 7 nationals was 83.94. Amb 84.14 beat World champ Vesely 83.80 for second.

Steeple: Brave early run of Coburn with pacemaker paid-off, she won over the whole Kenyan-Ethiopian elite in WL and PB 9:19.80. Second Assefa, Chemos 8th, Chepkurui 9th, best of Kenyans was P. Kirui as 4th.
HJ: Croatian win but by Simic with 197 PB and WL was another surprise. She was the winner already at 195 but added 2 cm more and tried at 199.

DT: The top performance of the meet 70.52 by Perkovic, by one cm improved and delivered not only WL, MR, NR but also Diamond League record and the best throw by a woman in last 22 years. It is after 2000 “World record”. Behind her Samuels also good 67.89, her second all-time best. #shanghaiDL
