South African champion Sunette Viljoen continued her winning run with another victory over world record-holder Barbora Spotakova with a throw of 64.32 metres at the Aviva British Grand Prix - Samsung Diamond League event in Gateshed.
The 27-year-old, who set a national Javelin record of 66.38m when defeating Spotakova in Prague a month ago, led throughout the competition as her rivals struggled to get beyond 60m.
US champion Kara Patterson, who won at the PreClassics in Eugene last week was second with her final effort of 63.11 metres and Czech's Spotakova finished third with a best of 62.02 metres.
Spotakova still leads the overall Diamond Race placings with eight points, ahead of Viljoen and Patterson, who are two behind.
