Americans Ryan Crouser, Maggie Ewen crowned Diamond League champions

Seven champions were determined Wednesday on the first of a two-day Diamond League final in Zurich, Switzerland.

The shot put events kicked off the meet and were won by Americans Ryan Crouser and Maggie Ewen.

With a season’s best throw of 19.41 meters, Ewen earned not only her first season-ending Diamond League trophy but also the first Diamond League meet victory of her career. Portugal’s Auriol Dongmo was second at 18.86 meters and Sweden’s Fanny Roos third with a throw of 18.75.

The 26-year-old was fourth at the 2019 World Championships but just missed this year’s Olympic team, placing fourth at U.
