Joe has the WL and beat storl in Eugene. Storl was considerably better today, but history has shown that this will become a back and forth rivalry.
He was good early on, but I'm not sure he can hold his from all the way from April to August. Storl was not under pressure to perform early this year, as Kovacs was in the domestic circuit..
Joe had this to say, according to IAAF: "I´m 2nd today...but await Beijing. The most difficult for us, Americans, is to make the US team. I made it, that is the most important. Some of the best shotputters won´t be in Beijing for instance. The Diamond League is great but you have to choose your battles. For me, it is Beijing this year. You are never satisfied with 2nd place, but as I said, this is training for me, on the back of our national championships. Congratulations to David for his victory today."
