JOIN USFinland's new European champion Antti Ruuskanen defeated a classy men's javelin field including the other two Zurich medallists and the 2014 world leader at the Stockholm Diamond League meeting on Thursday.

American Olympic champion Allyson Felix won the women's 200 metres ahead of compatriot Tori Bowie in 22.85 seconds. Another American, Queen Harrison, won the 100 metres hurdles in 12.66 after Olympic champion Sally Pearson was disqualifed for false starting.
