Greg Rutherford claims Diamond League in Zurich

British long jumper Greg Rutherford adds another title to his collection after claiming the Diamond League title in Zurich.

British long jumper Greg Rutherford has won his second title in as many weeks after claiming the Diamond League crown in Zurich on Thursday night.

At last month's World Athletics Championships, Rutherford captured gold to complete the career Grand Slam, but he capped off his season in fine style with another impressive performance in Switzerland.

Rutherford was trailing as the competition entered the final two rounds, but a jump of 8.32m was enough to get the better of Marquis Dendy on countback, after the American had registered the same distance.

With the victory adding to his wins in Birmingham, Oslo and Stockholm, Rutherford was able to secure his first Diamond Race title.

Elsewhere, Shara Proctor followed on from her silver in Beijing with third place in the women's long jump, while Lynsey Sharp finished in second spot in the 800m.
