A packed stadium and a luxurious poster, the ideal human conditions on and off the track, produced a string of great brands in the eleventh scale of the Diamond League.
In Lasusanne, headquarters of the International Olympic Committee.
The rally honored the superlative of her name: Athletissima.
... And the most prominent of those times was set by
Jakob Ingebrigtsen
in a typical high-flying rally 1,500, with lap times of 55.13 in the 400 and 1:55.58 in the 800. The Norwegian phenom, who he lavishes as much as the most and gets tired like the least, he finished in 3:29.05, the best world record of the year.
He ran alone at a steady pace, inaccessible to others.
Behind him,
Abel Kipsang
won, also below 3:30.00 (3:29.93), the Australian
Stewart McSweyn
(3:30.18), who is waking up from a weak season, in which he had only run in 3:33.24.
Mario García Romo
maintains the type.
He finished sixth with 3:32.71.
He is very regular in important numbers.
Nor was the cast in the 200 wasted, although only Noah Lyles
(19.56) and Michael Norman (19.76)
really responded to expectations .
Erriyon Knighton
(18 years old) already seems to be feeling the weight of a season full of praise and forecasts for the future.
He did not pass the sixth position (20.13).
For the organization there was a Cuban triplet in the triple jump, because
Jordan Díaz
, already Spanish, continues to appear, until he debuts with his new country, as a Cuban.
But he didn't win.
He was third with 17.44, behind the other
Díaz
,
Andy
(17.67), and
Lázaro Martínez
(17.50, a personal best of 20 centimeters).
Good record, in any case, from Jordan.
He would have been a national record on June 4, when he jumped 17.30 in Andújar after having done 17.27 in Salamanca in February.
Of course, that later he made, also in June, in La Nucía, 17.76 and, the same month, in Nerja, the current Spanish record: 17.87.
He hasn't competed since July, but he's still very fit.
Broadbell Triumph
Surprise in the 110 meter hurdles.
Jamaican
Rasheed Broadbell
dropped below 13 seconds (12.99) and beat the pair of Americans:
Trey Cunningham
(13.10) and
Grant Holloway
(13.11).
The shot put also surprised with the victory of
Joe Kovacs
(22.65) over
Ryan Crouser
(22.05).
Soufiane El Bakkali
's civil walk
in the 3,000 obstacles, although he did not get below eight minutes (8:02.45).
The Moroccan has long relegated the Kenyans to the background.
Dani Arce
is deflating after a good and dense season that is getting long.
He was eleventh with 8:26.98, far from his season record: 8:14.31.
The late withdrawal of slightly injured
Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce
left some 100 meters of Olympic level final somewhat lame.
There were nerves.
Shericka
Jackson
was forgiven a no start.
To
Elaine Thompson-Herah
No.
Very close arrival, and also surprising in its outcome, with the victory of Aleia Hobbs (USA) with 10.87 and non-existent wind.
Behind her, Shericka Jackson (10.88) and
Marie-Josée TaLou
(10.89).
Not far behind (10.94), the young American (19 years old)
Tamari Davis
, recent U-20 world record holder with 10.83.
The 100 hurdles were also of the highest level, which were resolved with a superb 12.34 from the powerful Jamaican
Jasmine Camacho-Quinn
.
She gave no choice to the (surprising in Eugene) world record holder, Nigerian
Tobi Amusan
(12.45).
He gave much less choice to all his rivals, that is,
Yulimar Rojas
.
With that second jump of his very short and the first and third
very long
, he stood at 15.31, close to his mark of the year (15.47).
There's nothing more to speak of.
The Dominican
Marileidy Paulino
scored the 400 (49.87) and the meeting closed with the women's 4x100 relay.
Without two of its starters, excellent Spain finished third with 43.75, behind Switzerland (42.91) and the Netherlands (43.02).
The next appointments of the Diamond League will be the finals.
Brussels, the next day 2. Zurich, the 7th and 8th.
