ZURICH, Aug 31 (Reuters) - Americans Noah Lyles and Sha'Carri Richardson cemented their status as fastest in the world this year with victories at the Weltklasse Diamond League meeting on Thursday. Kyron McMaster of the British Virgin Islands handed world record holder Karsten Warholm his first 400 hurdles loss this season, taking victory in 47.27 to edge the weary-looking world champion Norwegian who crossed in 47.30. The Olympic champion and twice reigning world champion failed on three attempts at 6.23 - what would have been the seventh time he has bettered the world record. Winfred Yavi of Bahrain passed world record holder Beatrice Chepkoech of Kenya with a lap remaining in a carbon copy of her world victory to win the women's 3,000 steeplechase. Yomif Kejelcha of Ethiopia won a men's 5,000 race in which Lamecha Girma, the world record holder in the 3,000 steeplechase, dropped out with two laps to go.

The first three did their job so that Richardson, the individual 100m champion, was always in control. Jamaica's Shericka Jackson, the 200m champion, had too much to do as they took silver in 41.21 while Britain claimed bronze with 41.97. Earlier, the U.S. men won their 4x100m relay final but the U.S. women's 4x400 team were disqualified from the semi-final after an illegal baton change.

Richardson and Jackson on course for 200m showdown

Fourth-placed 100m finisher Marie-Josee Ta Lou of the Ivory Coast went through from the same heat, while defending champion Jackson was in cruise control winning her heat in 22.50. It's my first time on the track and I managed to get out strong and come through," Thomas said. "I think I can run my world lead time again when I need to but I don't think that will be enough to win gold. I think all the girls in the final will be under 21.60, so it's going to be fast. The track is really fast, it really is.

American Richardson claims world gold in women's 100m

[1/5] Athletics - World Athletics Championship - Women's 100m Final - National Athletics Centre, Budapest, Hungary - August 21, 2023 Sha'carri Richardson of the U.S. celebrates after winning the women's 100m final REUTERS/Sarah Meyssonnier Acquire Licensing RightsBUDAPEST, Aug 21 (Reuters) - United States sprinter Sha'Carri Richardson finally delivered on three years of promise when she overcame the challenge of being stuck out in lane nine by delivering a late surge to win world 100 metres gold on Monday. Richardson clocked 10.65 seconds after catching Jamaica's Shericka Jackson, who took silver in 10.72. Jamaican Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, who was seeking a remarkable sixth world 100m title at the age of 36 after an injury-hit season, had to settle for bronze in 10.77. Jackson, in lane four, had opened a clear gap and was still ahead at 80 metres before Richardson swept through and raised her arm in triumph. Richardson is the first U.S. winner of the women's 100 since the triumph in 2017 of Tori Bowie , who died this year aged 32.

Jackson was clear and eased at the end, allowing Ta Lou to exactly match her 10.79 finishing time, even to the thousandth of a second. A desperate Richardson had to strain every sinew to claim third in 10.84 – which proved good enough to send her through as one of the two fastest losers. She recovered from a sluggish start to drive home, with American Tamari Davis going through alongside with 10.98. Julien Alfred of St Lucia had a scare, being given a warning card after moving in the blocks in the third heat. She then had a terrible start in the restarted race but finished well to win in 10.92.

July 21 (Reuters) - Kenya's Faith Kipyegon shattered the women's mile world record, while compatriot Ferdinand Omanyala won the men's 100 metres in a photo finish at the Monaco Diamond League meeting on Friday. "Tonight, I just confirmed what I am capable of," Omanyala said after securing his first Diamond League victory in the 100m. American Fred Kerley, who suffered his first defeat of the season last week at the Silesia Diamond League, did not run. Sweden's world record holder, Armand Duplantis, experienced a challenging time at the pole vault competition, losing the event for the first time this year. "Today did not go as planned, and this is my last competition before the World Championships in Budapest.

"Like I said it before, I had to be kicked out from another 100 metres race, so I had to do my best no matter what. I am really happy with my race, third place is a good start and the time is decent," she said. "I feel really good, today was challenging for all athletes but I'm still satisfied with my result," Chopra said. The Czech Republic's Jakub Vadlejch, who won silver in Tokyo, finished second again -- four centimetres shy of Chopra's mark. "It was an exciting race but a little bit windy, so I decided to not push too much and just focus on winning the race," Kipyegon said.
