Broadbell wins 110m hurdles at Wanda Diamond League

KINGSTON, Jamaica— Rasheed Broadbell won the 110m hurdles during Thursday’s Athletissima, the 11th Wanda Diamond League meeting of the season at Stade Olympique de la Pontaise in Switzerland, running 13.10 seconds (-0.1m/s) beating Olympic champion Grant Holloway.

It was Broadbell’s second win in Lausanne and third on the Diamond League circuit. Holloway was second in 13.14 seconds and Jamaica’s Hansle Parchment placed third in 13.23 seconds.

Broadbell pointed out that while his time was slower than the 13.09 seconds he ran in the finals at the Paris Olympics, “the race felt better because I knew I had it after the last hurdle. I could have run faster if I pushed through the tape but I´m satisfied.”

There were runners-up spots for Rushell Clayton in the women’s 400m hurdles and Wayne Pinnock in the men’s long jump while Ackera Nugent was third in the 100m hurdles.

Clayton, who would have been disappointed not to get a medal in the Olympics, got off to a fast start but was overtaken late by Femke Bol who lowered her own meet record to 52.25 seconds.

Clayton ran 53.32 seconds for second place, followed by Janieve Russell in third with 54.48 seconds and Andrenette Knight fourth in 54.93 seconds.

Pinnock was beaten into second, in the final round of the men’s long jump by Olympic and World Champion Miltiadis Tentoglou of Greece who produced an 8.06m (0.7m/s) effort on his final attempt to move from third to first.

Pinnock jumped 8.01m (-0.2m/s) for second, Tajay Gayle was fourth with 7.92m (-0.2m/s) after starting with two fouls, and Carey McLeod was seventh with 7.82m (-0.4m/s).

Nugent, who like Pinnock and 100m runner Tia Clayton who were making their Diamond League debut, was third in the 100m hurdles in 12.38 seconds (-0.9m/s), behind Jasmine Camacho Quinn of Puerto Rico who won with a season’s best equalling 12.35 seconds with American Grace Stark third with 12.38 seconds and two-]] time World Champion Danielle Williams was fifth with 12.53 seconds.

Clayton was fifth in the 100m in 11.10 seconds (-0.4m/s) as Dina Asher-Smith used a brilliant start to win in a season’s best 10.88 seconds, beating American Tamari Davis- 10.97 seconds and Mujinga Kambundji of Switzerland was third with 11.06 seconds.

Natoya Goule-Toppin finished seventh in the women’s 800m running 1:59.68 as Kenya’s Mary Moraa won with 1:57.91 ahead of two Britons- Georgia Bell- 1:58.53 and Jemma Reekie- 1:58.73.

Danniel Thomas-Dodd was fifth in the women’s shot put with 18.78m on her only legal mark, while Lamara Distin was seventh in the women’s high jump with a best of 1.88m.
