JAMAICA dominated the sprints at the Diamond League meet in Shanghai last night, with Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce winning the women's 100 meters and Warren Weir capturing gold in the men's 200.
Jason Richardson of the United States won the 110 hurdles, edging countryman Ryan Wilson and China's Xie Wenjun at the line.
Fraser-Pryce, a two-time Olympic winner, ran 10.93 seconds to beat Nigeria's Blessing Okagbare and defending world champion Carmelita Jeter, who pulled up at the finish with an apparent leg injury.
Jeter fell to the track after the race and lay on her back for several seconds before being carried off on a stretcher. Meet organizers said the American would undergo tests to determine the nature of the injury.
Weir, the bronze medalist at the London Olympics, timed 20.18 seconds to hold off American Justin Gatlin and Jason Young of Jamaica.
The field was weakened by the withdrawal of 2012 Olympic silver medalist Yohan Blake due to injury. Two-time Olympic champion Usain Bolt is also taking a break from the 200 to focus on the 100.
In the 110 hurdles, Richardson timed 13.23 seconds to beat Wilson in 13.25 and Xie in 13.28. London Olympic champion Aries Merritt pulled up before the first hurdle after an apparent leg cramp.
Russia's Yelena Isinbayeva won the women's pole vault in Shanghai for the fifth time with a leap of 4.70 meters.
China's Li Jinzhe was the surprise winner in the men's long jump with a leap of 8.34 meters, beating Russia's Aleksandr Menkov and Olympic champion Greg Rutherford of Britain.
Olympic champion Kirani James of Grenada extended his dominance in the 400, comfortably beating American Leshawn Merritt in a time of 44.02 to match Jeremy Wariner's Shanghai meet record.
Asbel Kiprop of Kenya outsprinted Mekonnen Gebremedhin down the stretch to win the men's 1,500, lunging across the finish line in 3:32.39, just four-tenths of a second ahead of the Ethiopian.
