Dame Valerie Adams surged back to her vintage best this evening as she lit up the Sir Graeme Douglas International in Auckland by unleashing a world-class 19.65m to register her longest throw for five years.
In a brilliant return to form, Adams added almost one metre on to her season’s best and four times surpassed the 19m mark with her best effort matching the world indoor lead of Portugal’s Auriol Dongmo.
Adams has shown small incremental improvements in her three previous competitions this year but today she took a giant leap forward.
The 36-year-old mother-of-two matched her season’s best of 18.68m with her first effort before launching the 4kg metal ball to a mighty 19.65m in round two – her best effort since she threw 19.75m in August of 2016 in Germany.
