European Champion Nadezhda Ostapchuk won the very first Diamond Trophy in the history of the new meeting series.<\/p>\n<p>Ostapchuk was performing in a class of her own, wowing both hundreds of spectators on the stands and passersby. Ostapchuk\u2019s shot landed at 20.63m, beating the best attempt by Olympic and world champion Valerie Adams-Vili\u2019s of 20.02 convincingly. Adams-Vili was the only athlete in a position to threaten Ostapchuk\u2019s overall lead. The athlete from Belarus, however, accomplished her goal of winning the sixth of her six Samsung Diamond League competitions. \u201cWinning the Diamond Race is like winning a world championship,\u201d Ostapchuk said. \u201cAnd the final event was a great experience. I enjoyed the music, and of course the audience being so close to the ring.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The athletes of the men\u2019s shot put were benefitting from the special atmosphere, as well: World champion Christian Cantwell (USA) won the event (21.87m), his fellow countryman Adam Nelson came in second place.<\/p>\n<link \/Templates\/IAAFDiamondLeague\/PageTypes\/ContentPageType.aspx?id=1217&amp;epslanguage=en _blank>Results<\/link>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Zurich Main Station &#8211; a Weltklasse Z\u00fcrich venue: The inaugural Samsung Diamond League...","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[],"city":[],"class_list":["post-635","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-zurich"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/zurich.diamondleague.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/635","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/zurich.diamondleague.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/zurich.diamondleague.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/zurich.diamondleague.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=635"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/zurich.diamondleague.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/635\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/zurich.diamondleague.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=635"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/zurich.diamondleague.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=635"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/zurich.diamondleague.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=635"},{"taxonomy":"city","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/zurich.diamondleague.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/city?post=635"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
