Seville leaves Lyles trailing in Lausanne, Hodgkinson wins again

Jamaican Oblique Seville left Olympic champion Noah Lyles trailing in his wake to win the Lausanne Diamond League 100 metres on Wednesday, where Britain's Keely Hodgkinson continued her impressive return to the track in the 800m.

Seville stormed to victory over Lyles in London last month, and it was almost a carbon copy performance in Switzerland as the Jamaican roared out of the blocks and was never going to be caught, posting a blistering 9.87 seconds despite the wet conditions

"Running 9.87 in those conditions shows I can go much faster, anywhere in the world," Seville said.

Heavy rain poured down at the Stade Olympique de la Pontaise all evening, dispelling any thoughts of world records, but Cordell Tinch looked red hot in the men’s 110m hurdles and Nadine Visser was a surprise winner of the women’s hurdles.

The men’s 100m was the final event, which ensured that the Swiss crowd braved the weather to the end, and all eyes were on Lyles as he continues his buildup to next month's World Championships in Tokyo.
