Lausanne (APA / sda) – Sprinter Noah Lyles (USA) and the 400m hurdles Abderrahman Samba were the highlights of the athletics meet on Thursday in Lausanne. The only 20-year-old Lyles equaled over 200 meters in 19.69 seconds on the Jahresweltbestleistung and also demonstrated show talent. Katari Samba won in 47.42 ahead of World Champion Karsten Warholm (NOR / 47.94).

However, Samba will no longer play games this year. For the 22 years, who remained in less than 47 seconds in Paris last Saturday (46.98), the Asian Games have taken over.

Russia's Sergei Schubenkow made more than 110m in the 12.95 second time in a few days time below the 13-second mark. In the women's 400m race, Salwa Eid Naser – the Nigerian representing Bahrain's colors – also won her fifth Diamond League race in 49.78 seconds.

The only new world record in the world was more than 5,000 meters for men. Birhanu Bales from Bahrain made 13:01:09.
