Overview
- Reuters confirms Kishane Thompson is out of Wednesday’s Lausanne 100m with reported shin discomfort and is unlikely to race again before September’s world championships in Tokyo.
- Noah Lyles, coming off a season‑best 9.90 behind Thompson’s 9.87 in Silesia, said he is encouraged by his progress as he lines up another 100m in Lausanne.
- The Lausanne field features Oblique Seville and Courtney Lindsey after Thompson’s withdrawal, removing a planned rematch of the Olympic 100m photo‑finish rivals.
- Lyles has a global wild card for the Zurich Diamond League 200m next week, with the AP noting the lineup likely includes Olympic champion Letsile Tebogo.
- After Silesia, Lyles floated a one‑on‑one race with Thompson in Kingston, though the idea remains a proposal rather than a scheduled event.
