Overview
- Oblique Seville won the Lausanne Diamond League 100 meters in 9.87 seconds despite standing water, with Noah Lyles second in 10.02 and Ackeem Blake third in the same time.
- Lyles said he had a “horrible reaction to the gun” and, after an injury-delayed start to his season in July, he aims to sharpen his drive phase and start before the World Championships.
- The win was Seville’s second over Lyles this season after London, reinforcing Jamaican strength in a year topped by Kishane Thompson’s 9.75 world lead.
- Britain’s Keely Hodgkinson set a meet record of 1:55.69 in the women’s 800 meters as she continued her comeback from hamstring troubles.
- American Josh Hoey took the men’s 800 in 1:42.82 and Cordell Tinch won the 110 hurdles in 12.98 on a night when heavy rain halted the women’s pole vault.
