Shi Yuhao, Shu Heng bag men's long jump gold, silver medals in Diamond League

Shi Yuhao of China won the men's long jump gold medal with a top effort of 8.21 meters at the World Athletics Diamond League competition in Shaoxing, east China's Zhejiang Province, on Saturday. His compatriot Shu Heng earned silver after equaling his personal best with 8.18 meters.

Wayne Pinnock of Jamaica finished third with 8.10 meters to round out the podium at the China Textile City Sports Center in Shaoxing's Keqiao District.

Paris Summer Olympics men's triple jump runner-up Zhu Yaming added a bronze medal for the host nation after leaping 16.92 meters in the final of his event, but he said he's not fully satisfied with the result.

"I'm turning 31 soon, but mentally, I feel 24 or 25. There's still so much potential in me, and I'll keep fighting," Zhu told reporters.

Chinese javelin thrower Dai Qianqian clinched silver with a personal best of 64.38 meters.

In other events, Cordell Tinch of the USA took the spotlight after sprinting to an impressive 12.87 seconds in the men's 110-meter hurdles, breaking the longstanding meet record and posting the fourth-fastest time in history.

The American's remarkable run surpassed the previous standard of 12.97 seconds, set in 2012 by Chinese hurdling legend Liu Xiang, and represented the best performance worldwide in 2025. His time was just 0.07 away from the world record of 12.80 seconds.

"That's all you dream of when you start running track, to be towards the top level," Tinch said. "Personally, I don't really pay attention to records. I just focus on coming out and being better than the week before. If the world record comes, great. If not, as long as I'm progressing, that's all I can ask for."

Swedish pole vault sensation Armand Duplantis claimed another win in China, following his victory at the season-opening stop in Xiamen with a clearance of 6.11 meters to beat Greece's Emmanouil Karalis, who topped out at 6.01 meters.

After securing the gold, Duplantis attempted to surpass his own world record by raising the bar to 6.28 meters, but failed on all three attempts.

"The jump did not feel that great, and the run did not feel that great either," Duplantis admitted. "I'm going to take another month with no competitions – just train hard and make sure I can build up to a really good, healthy, and strong season leading into Tokyo in September."

More world-leading marks were produced across the evening as Karsten Warholm of Norway won the men's 400m hurdles in 47.28 seconds, American Grace Stark grabbed the women's 100m hurdles title in 12.42 seconds, and Ethiopia's Tsige Duguma clocked 1:56.64 while winning the women's 800m.
