Australian discus thrower Dani Samuels has grabbed another podium finish to rubber-stamp her credentials as a potential medallist at the upcoming world championships.
Samuels' result at the Diamond League event in Birmingham on Sunday was her second consecutive second-place finish, following her impressive performance in Rome earlier this week.
Once again Samuels finished runner-up to reigning Olympic champion Sandra Perkovic of Croatia, who threw a meet record of 69.23m in Birmingham, while Samuels' opening throw of 64.89m was enough to ensure second place.
The 27-year-old Samuels now sits clearly second on the overall Diamond League points rankings with five points, behind Perkovic on 12.
Meanwhile, Brett Robinson (VIC) finished in fifth place in the Men's 5000m in Birmingham.
