The Olympic champion Valerie Vili has won the shot put at the Black Singlet Invitational athletics meet in Auckland, beating her arch rival Nadzeya Ostapchuk of Belarus by just over a metre.
Vili's best throw of 20.25 metres again beat the Belorussian Olympic bronze medallist, who maintained on arrival that her loss in Beijing was a one-off and she was determined to show she was the best in Auckland.
