Trayvon Bromell upset fancied US teammate Noah Lyles to win the 100m at the Diamond League in Paris on Sunday as Armand ‘Mondo’ Duplantis dominated the pole vault in a high-quality meet.
Lyles, the reigning Olympic champion, suffered a disastrous start and could not make up the difference as Bromell, a two-time world bronze medallist, stormed to the win in 9.91 seconds from lane eight.
“I’m good. The feeling at the start was not what I expected,” said Lyles, who finished second, a hundredth of a second off Bromell.
Switzerland’s Audrey Werro continued her dominant form over 800m as she scorched to another victory, in a Diamond League record of 1min 53.80sec.
Femke Broeders-Bol, the convert from 400m hurdles, was second in a personal best of 1:55.60 as she continued her transformation into a true two-lap competitor.
