MELBOURNE:
British Olympic long jump champion Greg Rutherford repeated his London Games triumph over Australia’s Mitchell Watt with victory at the IAAF Melbourne World Challenge yesterday. Rutherford won with a best leap of 8.10 metres in the fourth round, while Watt registered 8.01m to again finish second. “Watt is a friend of mine so it is not like a bad competition ever,” said Rutherford. “Ultimately he wants to beat me and I want to beat him but we are always still mates.”
