Both Javelin finals produced good results as well. 24-year-old Zhang Li, a 64.74m performer last season and second at the 2009 National Games, grabbed the lead with her first throw of 62.07m, a season’s best.

Zhang led the competition until the last round with Li Lingwei, eighth in Moscow, in second place with her 61.67m second-round effort. The former Asian record-holder with her 65.11m throw last year, Li played her ace card in the last round with a winning effort of 63.06m, a season’s best.

In the men’s competition, Zhao Qinggang, who narrowly finished second in 2009, took the lead from the start, but his second-round throw of 83.14m put the title out of the reach of the others. Zhao’s personal best moved him to third on the Chinese all-time list and gave him a clear win ahead of 2009 winner Chen Qi, who was second with a 75.88m season’s best.
