*More Photos *Results

A great Paris Diamond League meet is in the books.

Usain Bolt was challenged by Asafa Powell but prevailed in the 100m. David Oliver got the American record in the hurdles as his incredible 2010 continues.

Christin Wurth-Thomas earned some respect and broke 4:00 again in Paris. 2008 Olympic champ Brimin Kipruto came close to breaking 8:00 in the steeple.

Vivian Cheruiyot got a world leader in the 5,000 and two - yes, two - more Americans joined the sub-15:00 club (Molly Huddle and Lisa Koll). Allyson Felix and Jeremy Wariner kept winning and Nick Symmonds got beaten by Andrew Wheating.

LetsRun.com recap below, starting with Oliver and Bolt and then going to distance races.

Men's 110m Hurdles: David Oliver's Majestic Season Continues With American Record

David Oliver
is the fastest hurdler ever from America and soon he may be the fastest ever in the world.

Oliver has been simply amazing in his last three races. First off, he ran a 12.93 PR to win the US champs in Des Moines. Then he followed that up with a 12.90 win at Prefontaine (tying the American record of Dominique Arnold). On Friday in Paris, he ran 12.89 to get sole position of the American record.

We're far from sprint historians, but as triple jump world record holder and BBC commentator Jonathan Edwards said, Oliver is a "beast." Three straight races, each under 13.00, each faster than the previous one. Well done, David.

July 16, 2010 - Saint-Denis, FRANCE - epa02250710 Usain Bolt from Jamaica, (2-R), wins the
men's 100 meters race during the IAAF Diamond League athletics meeting at the Stade de France, Saint-Denis, near Paris, France, 16 July 2010.

Men's 100m: Usain Bolt Prevails Over Powell

Usain Bolt is so good that everyone just expects him to win. Asafa Powell ran virtually stride-for-stride with Bolt for much of the men's 100m, but Bolt pulled away for the win. It was far from an easy win for Bolt, but it was his first head-to-head win versus one of the other Big 3 in men's sprinting in 2010.

Afterwards, Bolt said to the BBC, "My strength is down (this year). I didn't feel as well as I wanted to ... I am not in the best of shape this year." 9.84 is still pretty good into the wind.

He discussed needing to hit the gym and maybe cut back on promotional appearances to make sure he doesn't get beaten in 2010 (he spent much of this week launching his new Bolt line in Paris and on DJing a party in Paris -see homepage of LetsRun for Puma promotional photos).

The great white hope Christope Lemaitre (who was featured in French newspaper covers between Bolt and Powell) finished a respectable 5th in 10.09 but lost to Yohan Blake in the battle for the "best 20-year-old sprinter on the planet" award.

July 16, 2010 - Saint Denis, FRANCE - epa02250765 Anna Alminova of Russia (R)
crosses the finishing line to win the women's 1500m event of the Paris IAAF Samsung Diamond League meeting in the Stade de France, Saint Denis, France, 16 July 2010.

Women's 1,500m: Christin Wurth-Thomas "Wins"

Christin Wurth-Thomas has talked a lot in 2010 about earning "respect." The truth of the matter - she is overshadowed by her 1,500m American peers. Shannon Rowbury has never broken 4:00 but has a World Champs bronze medal, and Anna Willard Pierce has Golden League wins at 800 and gone sub-four.

The three American 1,500m finalists from 2009 Worlds were in Paris and Christin Wurth-Thomas was the one with the eye-opening performance. After only being fourth at  USATFs and only finishing 8th in Lausanne last week, Wurth-Thomas gutted out a second-place finish and a PR in Paris in 3:59.59. The pace was quick and at the bell (2:55), Wurth-Thomas was right there and just kept gutting it out.

She now has gone sub-four 2 straight years, something her American peers cannot say.

Oh yeah, the winner of the race was Anna Alminova. Alminova destroyed the field the final 200m. It looked easy. Real easy. Too easy, in fact.

Alminova is coming off a 3-month drug ban for cold medicine. That, however, does not mean too much to us. What raises the most suspicion, sadly, is the fact so many Russian women have been busted for drugs the last few years. Thus dominating performances sadly raise eyebrows. Maybe we're all xenophobes, but it was telling when Tim Hutchings and the international broadcasters openly raised their suspicions on the broadcast.

France's Hind Dehiba got a national record and a sub-4 clocking and World Champs medallist Lisa Dobriskey went sub-4 again.  Shannon Rowbury had a seasonal best and Anna Pierce's 2010 "struggles" continued. Pierce, who won the US title at 1,500 this year, was dead last in 4:07.92. She wasn't the only person who struggled, however, as the two women who went 1-2 last week in Lausanne and both broke four struggled. Lausanne winner Geleta Burka was a DNF and Lausanne runner-up Ibtissam Lakhouad was only 9th in 4:04. Additionally, the awful 2010 season for 2007 and 2009 world champion Mayam Yusuf Jamal continued, as she was 13th in 4:06. So far this year, Jamal has finished 10th in Doha, 9th in Hengelo and now 13th here.

Men's 800m: Abubaker Kaki Dominates, Andrew Wheating Beats Nick Symmonds In European Pro Debut

Kaki said he wanted a fast pace and American Khadevis Robinson (now apparently a rabbit even though he can still run 1:44) dragged him through in 49.69. It was apparent Kaki just wanted the win and did not want to chase a 1:41 clocking like David Rudisha last Saturday. He was well out in front and reigning world champ Mbulaenia Mulaudzi chased but Kaki got the easy win.

We were about to say a Polish guy ran on the grass on  the home straight to pass guys and  finish 3rd, but the meet has come to its senses and DQed him (Marcin Lewandowski).

That means American Andrew Wheating is now fourth in his first European Diamond League meet. There were a bunch of guys off the pace and Wheating was in the back of them. But he closed better than fellow American Nick Symmonds and got his first sub-1:45 clocking. Symmonds can't like being the second best 800 runner in America, much less just the second best in Eugene.

Women's 5,000m: Vivian Cheruiyot Returns With A Nice Win, As Molly Huddle And Lisa Koll Join Exclusive Sub-15:00 Club

Jul 08, 2010 - Lausanne, Switzerland - Athletics track and field at Lausanne Switzerland - Diamond League. Vivian Cheruiyot (KEN) 3000m.

Conditions were great in Paris and the pace was fast and 7 women were rewarded with PRs. However, in the end, Vivian Cheruiyot showed why she was the world champ at 5,000m last year. She is very good.

She had only run 15:31 this year coming in (at altitude), so many of you discounted her chances to win (only 15% of you picked her to win). However, she had pushed Tirunesh Dibaba in the 2-mile last week in Britain and clearly was in good form today. She led most of the final laps and then still managed to outkick 4 others over the final lap, including fending off a stern challenge from previous 2009 world leader Sentayehu Ejigu, who had won the Diamond League meet in Shanghai earlier this year.

Two young Americans however did a lot of head turning by getting PRs to go sub-15:00 for the first time. Molly Huddle (who set the American junior record at Notre Dame) lowered her PR from 15:05 to 14:51. Close behind her was reigning NCAA champ Lisa Koll in 14:55 (previous PR was 15:17). Both runs were super impressive. Koll's 3k PR is only 8:56, so she basically went that pace for 5k.

Huddle is now the third-fastest American of all time, with only Olympic medallists Deena Kastor and Shalane Flanagan ahead of her (drug cheat Regina Jacobs did run faster but we don't count her). Koll joins the US top 10 in the # 6 position.

Huddle and Koll weren't the only runners to earn massive PRs in the race. Portugal's Jessica Augusto had a 19-second PR to finish 5th in 14:37.

July 16, 2010 - Saint-Denis, FRANCE - epa02250632
Brimin Kiprop Kipruto (L) of Kenya races alongside compatriot Paul Koech (R) in the men's 3000m steeple chase event during the Paris IAAF Samsung Diamond League meeting in the Stade de France, Saint Denis, France, 16 July 2010. Kiproto won and Koech came in second.

Men's 3,000m Steeplechase: Olympic Champ Brimin Kipruto Powers To Win, Just Misses His First Sub-8

Brimin Kipruto is the reigning Olympic steeplechase champ. He thus is very, very good. He has never broken the magical 8:00 barrier, however, and that is still the case.

Kipruto powered away from two familiar faces (Olympic bronze medallist) Paul Koech and former World and Olympic Champ Ezekiel Kemboi heading into the final water barrier to get the impressive win. Kipruto, however, came up just short of the 8:00 barrier for the 2nd-straight week, although for the 2nd-straight week he did get a new world leader and new personal best. American Dan Huling was hoping to improve on the 8:13 PR he set in Lausanne last week but came up short on his 27th birthday.
