Gong Lijiao celebrates with the Chinese flag after retaining her shot put
title in Doha. None of the top eight women recorded a seasonal best in the final.
Great Britain's Sophie McKinna set a personal best in qualifying of 18.61m
and had a debatable no throw in the final, that might have taken her close
to a medal.
