Shanghai Success
by Paul Kingston

It might not have had the allure or competition of the world championships, but for LaShawn Merritt, it marked another win in an undefeated season.

LaShawn took first at the Shanghai Golden Grand Prix on Sunday, winning the 400m in a time of 45.28.

As reported by TrackAlerts.com:

LaShawn Merritt closed off a fine season with a solid run to win the men’s 400m dash and he now prepares for a well deserved six weeks rest before pre-season.

The American who won gold at the Beijing Olympics last summer and then repeated that performance at the World Championships in Berlin last month, clocked 45.28 to seal the win.

Finishing behind Merritt, who ended his season unbeaten, were Great Britain’s Robert Tobin (45.49) and Congo’s American record holder Gary Kikaya (45.63).
