Greg Rutherford has continued his preparations for the World Athletics Championships with victory in the Diamond League meeting in Stockholm.
The 28-year-old, who secured gold in the long jump at the Olympic Games in 2012, won with a distance of 8.34m to see off the challenge of second-place Marquis Dendy.
The win is a boost for Rutherford, who could only finish in third place, behind eventual winner Dendy, at the Anniversary Games in London last weekend.
Rutherford, who also holds the European and Commonwealth titles, will be looking for his first world medal in Beijing next month.
