Weltklasse Zurich Diamond League Final

Can't believe the announcers were talking about world record in the 200.

Lyles is making 19.5 look easy.

(He won by .50 into a headwind)

Apro went from 4th to 1st on the backstretch to get the lead and then Korir went 4th to 1st on the homestretch to get the win and first sub 1:43.50 clocking of the year.

With Athing Mu taking her annual post Worlds/Olympics vacation, Kenya’s Mary Moraa took advantage of Mu’s absence and won the Diamond League title in 1:57.63 today ahead of Jamaica’s Natoya Goule (1:57.85). American Sage Hurta, who was on Moraa’s shoulder as they rounded the final turn, ended up third in 1:58.47. Olympic and world championship silver medallist Keely Hodgkinson was a non-factor in the final 100 and ended up 5th in 1:59.06.

No one went with rabbit Olivia Baker of the US who went out way too hard (55.9). Kenya’s Mary Moraa, who has famously run some wild splits this year, ran a very smart and measured race behind Baker as she was the top racer from start to finish, hitting splits of 27.21, 57.67, and 1:28.24.

dos Santos stayed unbeaten on the year and got his third 46 second clocking.

Pretty unbelievable that the world record is 2.35 seconds faster. Bol's meet record of 52.80 from last year survives.

Muhammad led over hurdle 7 but it was no contest the final straight.

There hadn't been a men's 100m in the DL in over a month and Trayvon Bromell won this with ease.

This meet is 3 hours instead of the usual 2 for the Diamond League.

SAFP made it look easy as Sha'Carri Richardson was a non-factor in last.

Wind was -.8m/s.

Rest in Peace.

He got beat at Worlds but otherwise has made it look very easy this year. Three guys were together with 200 to go and then Jakob began pulling away on the turn and extended away from Cheruiyot the final 100m to get the win in a world leading 3:29.02 thanks to a 54.86. 

Jakob led from 1000m on, once the rabbit dropped out.

WOW. What a final 200m for Kipyegon to destroy the field.

Cubans won five Diamond League triple jumps this year, including tonight’s final where Andy Diaz Hernandez claimed victory after a 17.70m pb (into a 0.8 headwind) from round one held up over world champ Pedro Pablo Pichardo’s 17.63m. Even though Diaz Hernandez won eight of his nine meets this year – including three Diamond Leagues – he didn’t compete for Cuba at Worlds, though.
