Akani Simbine won a thrilling 100m in a photo finish on Saturday at the second Diamond League meeting of the season while Armand “Mondo” Duplantis dominated the pole vault but failed to break his own world record.
-
South Africa's Simbine claimed victory in Keqiao, near Shanghai in China, by dipping under the line in 9.98 seconds, beating Jamaican Olympic silver medallist Kishane Thompson by a whisker (9.99).
Simbine, who ran 9.90sec in Gaborone last month and won last week in the Diamond League opener in China's Xiamen (9.99), said he was “not happy with the start”.
“It is just frustrating that I did not get it right today but I was at least able to make up for that mistake and get the win,” the 31-year-old said.
Duplantis triumphed once more with minimum fuss.
