Letsile Tebogo Dominates Men's 200M in Lausanne Diamond League, Amy Hunt Second in Women's Race in the UK

Tebogo, the Olympic champion, clocked 19.87 seconds to win the men's 200m, finishing well clear of the field. In the women's 200m, White won in 22.18 seconds, with Hunt holding off Nigeria's Favour Ofili in a photo-finish at 22.32. Jamaica's Shericka Jackson, the two-time former world champion in the event, pulled up with 70 metres of the race to run. Hunt said she had been tired before the race and her pre-competition felt pretty stiff.

Switzerland's Audrey Werro clocked a meet best to win the 800m on home soil but fell well short of the world record. The newly crowned European champion, the third fastest ever in the women's two-lap race, is aiming to break the 1min 53.28sec run by Jarmila Kratochvilova of Czechoslovakia in 1983. It remains the oldest world record in track and field, albeit one that is highly contested having come during a period when systemic doping of athletes was prevalent. Kratochvilova, however, never failed a doping test.
