Overview
- Oblique Seville won the Lausanne Diamond League 100m in 9.87 seconds despite heavy rain and standing water on the track.

- The result repeated Seville’s victory over Lyles at last month’s London Diamond League, adding to the Jamaican’s momentum.
- Keely Hodgkinson set a meeting record of 1:55.69 in the women’s 800m, and Josh Hoey won the men’s 800m in 1:42.82 ahead of Olympic champion Emmanuel Wanyonyi.
- Severe rain disrupted several events, with the women’s pole vault stopped, while Cordell Tinch still clocked 12.98 to win the 110m hurdles.
