In the main Diamond League action, Kishane Thompson equalled a meeting record to beat Olympic champion Noah Lyles in their first 100m race against each other since the final at Paris 2024.<\/p>\n

American Lyles got the better of Thompson to win Olympic gold last year, but the Jamaican was victorious in Poland, clocking 9.87 seconds to edge out his rival by 0.03secs.<\/p>\n

“My job is to get the job done. Honestly, I compete against myself, no offence to the competition,” said Thompson.<\/p>\n

Sweden’s world record holder Armand Duplantis once again secured victory in the men’s pole vault with a best of 6.10m. <\/p>\n

It was not quite the 6.29m that saw the 25-year-old break the world record for the 13th time<\/a> last week, but it was still enough to take the win ahead of Emmanouil Karalis and Kurtis Marschall.<\/p>\n

In the women’s 400m hurdles, Femke Bol of the Netherlands extended her world lead to 51.91s as she sealed her 29th successive Diamond League victory – while Kenya’s Faith Kipyegon missed out on a new world record in the women’s 3,000m by less than a second.<\/p>\n

The three-time Olympic 1500m champion crossed the line in a time of 8:07.04, falling just short of the record set by China’s Wang Junxia of 8:06.11 in 1993.<\/p>\n

“I am so happy,” Kipyegon said. “I saw the world record red line during the race but today it was very hot.<\/p>\n

“I am grateful for what I have done. All those records, this is what I love doing. I want to be an inspiration for young people and I love to challenge myself.”<\/p>\n

American Melissa Jefferson-Wooden equalled a meeting record to win the women’s 100m with Britain’s Dina Asher-Smith seventh.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
