LONDON -

Lyles runs his first 100m of 2025, headlining an afternoon featuring the cream of track and field athletes, winners of 75 medals between them from the 2023 World Athletics Championships in Budapest and the 2024 Paris Olympics, across both individual and relay disciplines.

Here is a look at stand-out events at the 11th leg of the 15-meet Diamond League circuit:

MEN'S 100M

Tebogo, who won the 200m gold at the 2024 Paris Olympics as Lyles finished third, was edged out in Monaco by the American, who clocked an impressive 19.88 seconds in his return to the track from a tendon injury.

Lyles said it had been tough watching early-season competition from home, but his comeback was timely with the World Championships in Tokyo on the horizon in September.
