KINGSTON, Jamaica – The much-hyped women’s 100 metre race at Friday’s Athletissima meeting in Lausanne, Switzerland, was anticlimactic as two of the biggest stars, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce and Elaine Thompson-Herah, both failed to complete the race.

Fraser-Pryce withdrew before the event after she “picked up a niggle” while warming up and Thompson-Herah was disqualified after an uncharacteristic false start.

It was the second break in the start that was committed by Thompson-Herah after compatriot Shericka Jackson had rolled out of the blocks but was only shown a caution.

Jackson eventually finished second when the race was eventually run, clocking 10.88 seconds (0.0m/s) just beaten to the finish line by American Aleia Hobbs in 10.97 seconds with the Ivory Coast’s Marie-Josee TaLou was third in 10.89 seconds.

Commonwealth Games champion, Rasheed Broadbell, was the highlight for the Jamaicans as he became the third Jamaican man to dip under 13.00 seconds in the 110m hurdles after he upset the field to win in a new personal best 12.99 seconds (0.0m/s) for back-to-back Diamond League wins and his fifth victory in a row.

American Trey Cunningham was second in 13.10 seconds and World Champion Grant Holloway third in 13.11 seconds.

Olympic champion, Hansle Parchment, finished fourth in 13.13 seconds.

The inform Shanieka Ricketts was second in the women’s triple jump with a best of 14.64m (0.4m/s) behind Venezuela’s Yulimar Rojas at 15.31m (-0.2m/s) with Maryna Bekh-Romanchuk of the Ukraine third in 14.31m (-0.2m/s) while a second Jamaican Kimberly Williams was sixth in 14.12m (-0.2m/s).

Janieve Russell was also second in women’s 400m hurdles in 53.92 seconds and Andrenette Knight third in 54.33 seconds behind winner Femke Bol, who ran a meet record 52.95 seconds.

Rushell Clayton failed to finish the race after she hit the ninth hurdle and crashed to the ground.

Britany Anderson faded to fifth in the 100m hurdles, running 12.59 seconds (-0.9m/s) after she hit the final hurdle; Candice McLeod was fourth in the women’s 400m in 50.80 seconds and Stephenie Ann McPherson seventh in 51.63 seconds and Andrew Hudson was fifth in the men’s 200m, running 20.09 seconds.
