"We didn't have any expectations today but we wanted to see where we were at leading into world indoors, so I can say I'm now going to that," said Adams, who suffered a tearful defeat by Belarussian Nadzeya Ostapchuk at the 2012 London Olympics, only to be upgraded to gold after the winner failed a drugs test.

"I'm pretty happy, it's the best throw in the world this year so I can't ask for more than that coming back after surgery. It's been an awesome day," she added.
