Two photographers who worked during the women's World Championship final in shot put in Nanjing were close to being hit by New Zealander Maddison-Lee Wesch's throw.

Wesch's shot put in the first round went over the safety net and landed near the photographers who were not physically injured. The incident reminded of when American Roger Steen threw over the safety net during the indoor World Championship in Glasgow last year.

If the shot put comes, it's over. It's terrible that those responsible, for the second indoor World Championship in a row, do not understand what is required. That cage is a joke. It gives a false sense of security, says TV4's expert A Lennart Julin in the broadcast.
