Jess Hull's eagerly awaited 1500 metres rematch with Claudia Hollingsworth has proved a damp squib, upstaged by an unexpected podium gatecrasher Abbey Caldwell at the Shanghai Diamond League meeting.
Caldwell beat both of her more garlanded compatriots after a late surge, finishing third in 3 minutes 56.12 sec in Saturday's Diamond League opener, amazed to carve three seconds off her lifetime best to become the second-fastest Aussie of all-time.
