China's Wang Zheng brought China the first medal at the world championships here in 75.98m. Wang, 29, the Asian record holder, was jubilant after securing the silver.
"I really enjoyed this competition tonight. I gained confidence in the competition and I have a very good result," she said.
"I was hoping for more improvement but when I try to improve too hard, my technique is not good. I have to stay relaxed. I am confident that I will improve in the future. My technique was the only problem tonight." Wand said.
Another Polish Malwina Kopron took bronze in 74.76 meters and Beijing worlds silver medalist Zhang Wenxiu from China finished a disappointing fourth in 74.53.
"I am upset because this is my ninth World Championships and it will be my last one. This season has been hard for me because I had a baby last year, but I am happy to end it here. I started competing at 15 and I am 31 now so it is the end of a long career," Zhang said.
The 110m hurdles saw McLeod, gold medalist in the Rio Olympics, clock 13.04 seconds to rank first ahead of Russia's defending champion Sergey Shubenkov, who was given greenlight for the championships as an authorized neutral athlete by the IAAF. The bronze medal belonged to Balazs Baji of Hungary.
Olympic champion Faith Kipyegon of Kenya turned her 1500m silver at Beijing two years ago to a gold medal as the 23-year-old pulled away in the last 50 meters to clock 4:02.59 to win.
