Valerie Adams: returning to top shape
WHILE most field events have one standout clear favourite, this event has four well-matched potential winners from four different continents. Adams has the experience and competitive mettle but can she get back to her best form in time? She faces a triple challenge from world champion Christina Schwanitz of Germany, world leader Gong Lijiao of China and world indoor champion Michelle Carter of USA.
