Britain’s Dina Asher-Smith was third in the women’s 100m, behind Olympic champion Julien Alfred and veteran Marie-Josee Ta Lou-Smith.<\/p>\n
Asher-Smith failed to make the 100m final at last year’s Olympics but is hopeful of better at this year’s World Championships in Tokyo in September.<\/p>\n
She said after running a season’s best 11.08 seconds: “I feel great – I have been training really well and I’m healthy so I’m really happy to be here.<\/p>\n
“I plan to run faster and this year is obviously all about the World Championships in Tokyo – the aim of course is to make the 100m and 200m finals, and I do believe I can run really well and get into the medals.”<\/p>\n
Alfred looked smooth in her first 100m of the year, clocking 10.89, and could be the one to beat again in Japan.<\/p>\n
She said: “It was my first race of the season, so I was a little rusty, but I got the win under my belt, which is the main thing.<\/p>\n
“I am Olympic champion, so I am the one to beat, but I really want to add world champion to my name.”<\/p>\n
Swedish pole vault star Armand Duplantis easily won again, clearing 6.15m but for once not troubling a world record, while there was a record of sorts for the crowd to celebrate in the final event.<\/p>\n
Karsten Warholm, who trains on the Oslo track, won the rarely run 300m hurdles in a world record of 32.67 seconds.<\/p>\n
The event’s famous ‘Dream Mile’, won in the past by greats such as Seb Coe, Steve Ovett, Steve Cram and Jakob Ingebrigtsen, this time went to Portugal’s Isaac Nader in 3:48.25, with Britain’s Elliot Giles setting a personal best of 3:49.16 in seventh.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
