Coleman missed out on the podium at the World Championships in Budapest but broke the tape in a blistering 9.83 seconds as fellow American Lyles finished second in 9.85. Coleman, the 2018 Diamond League champion, exploded off the blocks and Lyles was unable to overcome a slower start. Jamaican Jackson finished second at the World Championships behind American Sha'Carri Richardson but took the lead in the last half of the women's 100 metres before breaking the tape in 10.70. World champion Warholm was strong favourite after claiming three Diamond League wins this year but Benjamin finished strongly to clock 46.39 seconds, the year's best time and fourth-fastest ever.

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.

CNN —Karsten Warholm once again dominated the hurdles track – not only regaining his hard earned title of world champion, but becoming the first athlete to ever win three 400m hurdles crowns. The frontrunner in this event since his world championship title in 2017, the Norwegian suffered an injury-plagued, disappointing 2022. “[The other competitors] went out super hard, but I knew they were going to get it tough in the end. Petr David Josek/APWarholm added that this year’s gold is “extra special” because it signifies his “good little comeback story” following last year’s disappointing run with injuries and form. You need to have that to chase the gold medals.”McMaster took the silver in 47.38, while Benjamin was awarded bronze for his 47.56.

BUDAPEST, Aug 23 (Reuters) - Karsten Warholm of Norway returned to the top of the global medal podium, racing to his third victory in the 400-metres hurdles at the World Athletics Championships on Wednesday. The 27-year-old won the 2017 and 2019 world championships, but struggled to seventh at the worlds last season in Eugene when he was hampered by a hamstring injury. "It feels incredibly good to have the gold around my neck again," Warholm told Norwegian broadcaster NRK. Kyron McMaster won silver in 47.34 to earn the first world championships medal for the British Virgin Islands. "This means the world to my country - I have been chasing this medal since 2017," McMaster said.
