At the Athletissima in Lausanne, Jason Joseph narrowly missed out on his first victory in a Diamond League event. The 24-year-old from Basel is only one hundredth behind winner Shunsuke Izumiya from Japan over 110 m hurdles.

Joseph clocked a time of 13.23 seconds, 13/100th better than his Swiss record, which he set at the Diamond League meeting in Florence in early June. He also finished second there. Mujinga Kambundji cannot compete with the best in the 100m due to her foot problems. Sister Ditaji Kambundji finished fifth in the 100m hurdles. Simon Ehammer finishes fourth in the long jump.

Year best world time over 5000 meters

The 5000 m runners on the Athletissima are the international highlight. Berihu Aregawi ran the world’s best time of the year in 12:40.45 minutes.

The 22-year-old Ethiopian is now the fifth fastest man in history over this distance. He takes advantage of the low temperatures for a summer evening. The Olympic fourth over 10,000m leads the entire second half of the race, giving his competitors no chance, including world record holder Joshua Cheptegei of Uganda – second in 12:41.61.

The weather is also good for the other middle-distance runners. The Ethiopian Lamecha Girma, who set the world record over the 3000 m steeplechase three weeks ago at the Diamond League meeting in Paris, challenges the Norwegian Jakob Ingebrigtsen over the 1500 m, who in turn has already won this season in 3 in this discipline. :27.95. minutes approached the world record (3:26.00). Ingebrigtsen triumphed in a strong 3:28.72 minutes.

Marie-Josée Ta Lou from Ivory Coast wins the 100 meters in 10.88 seconds despite a headwind. In the women’s sprint hurdles, the clock shows a top value of 12.40 for the victory of Puerto Rico’s Jasmin Camacho-Quinn. Femke Bol from the Netherlands sets a meeting record over 400 m hurdles in 52.76 seconds. (SDA/dti)
