China\'s Gong Lijiao displayed her consistency into the 2018 season with her victory in the women\'s shot put at the IAAF Diamond League Monaco meeting on Thursday, while the men\'s shot put title went to Olympic champion Ryan Crouser of the United States.

Defending world champion Gong won the title last Sunday at the Athletics World Cup in London, and established a world-leading 20.38m in June.

Gong positioned herself atop standings with 19.44m in the first attempt, and improved that to over 20m in the third round, the first one to have achieved the feat among all participants.

She never faced huge challenge from her opponents throughout the match, and witnessed a final best of 20.31m, winning her second straight Diamond League title after the Shanghai meeting.
