Anavia Battle stormed to victory in the women's 200m event ahead of Shericka Jackson at the Xiamen Diamond League.
In an unexpected turnout at the Xiamen Diamond League, Anavia Battle dominated the women's 200m event over Shericka Jackson in a blistering Meeting Record of 22.41s.
The American speedster ran a perfect curve to take the lead in the home straight and held on, pulling away from Jackson and the rest of the field to win her second sprint race of the season, having clocked a blistering world-leading time of 10.98s at the Florida Relays two weeks ago.
Her impressive run in Xiamen proves she's in the best shape of her life and will be an interesting watch for the rest of the season and ahead of making the American team to the World Championships in Tokyo this summer.
