Mageean’s Birmingham and Munich conqueror Laura Muir did beat world Silver medallist Gudaf Tsegay with a 59 second last lap and took fifth in 4:02.31. Kipyegon (L), Mageean (C) and Muir (R)(Getty)Ĭiara Mageean continued her stunning form – following her Commonwealth and European silver and Irish national 1500m record – with a fighting last lap of 58.7 to claim second place, fighting off the challenge of Ethiopia’s Freweyni Hailu (4:01.73) and Diribe Welteji (4:01.79).
In the 100m hurdles, despite Tobi Amusan’s world record and world and Commonwealth victories, many thought a back in top form Olympic champion Jasmine Camacho-Quinn might challenge. However, the Nigerian dominated to win in a meeting record 12.29 (-0.3) and defend her Diamond League title with Tia Jones (12.40) second and world silver medallist Britany Anderson third in 12.42 with Camacho-Quinn fourth in 12.49.
Miller Uibo’s previous lead was 49.11 in Eugene. Her compatriot Fiordaliza Cofil was second in 49.93 with Sada Williams also inside 50 seconds with 49.98. Beth Dobbin, who has not been in her best form in 2022, and ranked just 121st on 2022 times, was perhaps fortunate to qualify and she finished last by over a second in 23.83.Īlthough Olympic and world 400m champion Shaunae Miller-Uibo’s wasn’t in Zurich, Marileidy Paulino showed the Bahamian athlete would have had quite a contest as she won the opening track final comfortably in a Dominican record and world lead of 48.99.
