Greg Rutherford stretched his lead at the top of the Diamond League long jump standings with victory in Stockholm.
The Olympic gold medallists's leap of 8.34m gave him a third win in six meetings and a five-point lead heading into the double-points finale in Zurich in September.
The Briton was a comfortable winner as only Marquis Dendy (8.09m) joined him over the 8m-mark, but it was a less successful night for high jumper Robbie Grabarz, who finished eighth.
Martyn Rooney picked up his first point by finishing third in the 400m, with fellow Briton Rabah Yousif fourth, while Michael Rimmer was third in the 800m.
Lynsey Sharp was second in the women's 800m in 2:00.29 but was overtaken in the season standings by French winner Renelle Lamote and now lies in a share of fourth place.
Jodie Williams was third and Anyika Onuora fourth in the 200m but Eilidh Child was sixth in the 400m hurdles.
Jamaica's Shelly-Ann Fraser-Price beat American Tori Bowie to win the women's 100m.
