World Indoors: Rajindra Campbell ninth in shot put
Jamaica’s Rajindra Campbell finished ninth in the men’s shot put at the World Athletics Indoor Championships in Nanjing, China with a best mark of 20.45m, equalling his season’s best, on Sunday.
The national record holder in both the indoor and outdoor shot puts, who had failed to make a legal mark a year ago when the championships were held in Glasgow, Scotland, had survived the first cut but then failed to get into the final eight.
Faced with being eliminated at the first hurdle, Campbell, the Olympic bronze medallist, produced his best mark of the championships to move three spots up from 12th position after he had thrown 19.18m and 19.74m in the first two rounds.
