Reese HOFFA (USA)
Shot Put Men - winner
I am always satisfied when I win. I should throw further. I think I can throw over 21 meters plus, but I did not. The weather is not so good, it is raining. I have a lot of confidence to go to London 2012 Olympics, but I still need to make it better.

I am not staisfied with today's performance. I had a slow start at the beginning and I felt tired after 60 meters. I have to train harder after this competition. I am glad to compete with Asafa Powell and I still have a long way to go to reach his level, such as the power, technique. I will keep working hard so that I can perform better in LONDON.

ZHENG Xingjuan (CHN)

I am quite happy to win the second place. I made a normal performance, but it was a pity that I missed the champion at the last attempt. The rain confused me a lot, not only for me but for all atheletes. The bad weather condition made it more difficult. I will try to make improvement. I will not get a medal in London with today's performance, now I will try harder.

Chaunte LOWE (USA)
High Jump Women - winner
It is very difficult to jump in the rain. I have to learn to jump in this kind of conditions to do well. It's a good surface here and the crowd was good and we could have jumped a lot higher when the weather conditions would have been better.

YANG Yansheng (CHN)
Pole Vault Men - winner
I am not surprised to win the championship. It is my normal performance, but I can reach 5.80 meters during the training. The heavy rain may affect me as well as other competitors. Steven Hooker did not perform well today, I think he might get some injuries. I am afraid this record can not reach the final round of the Olympics. I wish I could do it better.
