Germany's Christina Schwanitz won the women's shot put at the world championships on Saturday.
The German, a silver medallist two years ago in Moscow, managed a best of 20.37 metres to trump early leader and home hope Gong Lijiao, the Olympic and two-time world bronze medallist.
The Chinese thrower sealed silver this time around with 20.30m, American Michelle Carter taking bronze (19.76).
One notable absentee from Saturday's action was New Zealand's four-time world champion Valerie Adams, who skipped the worlds after failing to regain her form sufficiently after complicated double surgery on her shoulder and elbow.
