Valerie Vili wins shot put world title
"Valerie Vili's global domination of women's shot put continued at the athletics world championships in Berlin today.
New Zealand's queen of the field won a second successive world title with a put of 20.44m, well short of her personal best but still more than enough for her to claim the gold medal by 24cm.
She finished comfortably ahead of silver medallist, German Nadine Kleinert, who threw a career best 20.20m, and China's bronze medallist Lijao Gong, who managed a personal best of 19.89m.
"I'm just very happy and overwhelmed," Vili said.
"We've done all this preparation and to come over here and defend it is ... well, two world titles, I'm pretty happy about that.""
