Double Olympic champion Valerie Adams needed just one attempt to reach the shot put final at the world athletics championships in Moscow tonight.
The three-time world champion threw 19.89 metres with her first attempt in qualifying to advance to Tuesday morning's (NZT) final with relative
ease.
Adams cleared the qualifying mark by more than a metre before leaving the arena without needing her final two attempts. Her season best is 20.90 season best, thrown in London two weeks ago.
