Diamond Leage: Shanghai. Get The Chinese Some Dope

 

Usain Bolt's 200m WR is 19.19. He's run 19.56 already this year.
He ran 19.76 yesterday and still nobody was even remotely close to him. Especially the two Chinese guys who finished last and second to last, which would be the standard of the day for the country's athletes.

Out of 16 events at least one Chinese athlete competed in 10 of them. They finished last in 7 of those events, with a second to last in 3 , and third from last in 3 to boot.
OK, they did grab 3rd in Men's long jump and 2nd, 3rd, 4th in the 110H, and 3rd in Women's shot put, but that's not a whole lot for the home crowd to cheer about.

I watched this meet while gorging on a smorgasbord of moderately decent Chinese food, which was purely coincidental.
The mens 100m, 800m, and 5000m, which are the best events really, were not contested in this meet.
Still some pretty good action with Wariner, Bolt, and the 100m Hurdlers(-Robles).
The meet also provided 7 world leading performances for the year so far.

Next stop in the Diamond League is Oslo on June 4th.
Full Results under the cut.
