Prescod beats all the stars, Manyonga 856 in rain

SHANGHAI (CHN, May 12): Second leg of 9th IAAF Diamond League produced 8 World leads and 5 meeting records in good weather, only at the end rain came. Again new names showed their potential with Prescod, Kinyamal and Balew. Two home wins was something for 25 000 spectators (more were not allowed due to technical reasons). Four reigning World champions won their events (McLeod, Manyonga, Lasitskene, Gong), but four lost (Gatlin, Edris, Kendricks, Schippers). Top results were another sub 44 by Steven Gardiner after Doha and Luvo Manyonga´s last attempt of 856 in slippery conditions.
