As the season took off into the second half, Meeting de Paris was fantastic and the competitions just built into an excellent meeting in Lausanne’s Pontaise Stadium!

Where do we begin?

Fantastic hurdles races, from Sergey Shubenkov in the 110m hurdles (12.95) and then, Abderrahman Samba runs 47.42 for the 400m hurdles, after having run 46.98 in Paris!

A strange finish to the 5000 meters, where Yomif Kechelcha falls, then, pulls on the shorts of Selemon Barega. The men’s side finished with a flying 200 meters by Noah Lyles and a great pole vault by Renaud Lavillenie, who cleared 5.91 meters.

On the women’s side, a tough 100 meters, where Marie Jose Ta Lou came from behind and took the 100 meters from Murielle Ahoure, as Elaine Thompson, Jennifer Prandini, Dafne Schippers, Mujinga Kambundji went by Ahoure. Kambundji set a Swiss record, her first of the day (11.03 NR), as the Swiss relay team would end the day with a fine 42.29 for the 4x100m.

Over 400 meters, Salwa Eid Naser continued a big 400 meter win again, with a fine 49.78. Francine Nyonsamba and Ajee’ Wilson battled to the finish over the 800 meters, 1:57.80 to Wilson’s 1:58.20. The highest quality event of the night, on the women’s side, was the 1,500 meters, as Shelby Houlihan lead five women under 4 minutes with her 3:57.34, and eight women under 4:02!

Shamier Little won her first DL 400 meter hurdle race in a 53.41. In the pole vault, Ekaterina Stefanidi won her first PV in some time, with a nice 4.82m clearance over a huge field. In the long jump, Malaika Mihambo and Ivana Spanovic leaped 6.90 meters, with MIhambo getting the win due to her longest second jump!

Thank you @athletissima for this wonderful opportunity to compete in such a special place ❤️🥇 https://t.co/AI7iNV5NKR#LausanneDL #DiamondLeague #RoadToTheFinal #nike #stoiximan #nbg #seventeen #lorvenn #toyota pic.twitter.com/2DjtwVxfss
