Two-time 200m world champion Shericka Jackson produced a dominant display to win the Diamond League event in Xiamen. The Jamaican led from the start and showed her strength on the bend to pull away, finishing with a time of 21.87 seconds - smashing the meeting record and narrowly missing the world lead by just 0.01 seconds.

Shaunae Miller-Uibo finished second in 22.04 seconds, with Anavia Battle third in 22.29 - both posted season's bests but neither looked capable of troubling Jackson. Sha'Carri Richardson, the 2023 world 100m champion, also logged a season's best at 22.38 seconds in fourth, while Great Britain's Amy Hunt placed seventh in the nine-woman field.

The meet delivered another remarkable performance when 18-year-old Chinese athlete Yan Ziyi threw the second longest javelin distance in history. At age 17, Yan held the world junior record; her single fantastic throw in Xiamen broke the Diamond League record, the Asian record and the world under-20 record all at once.
