Lausanne champs in Monaco!

Yesterday evening the IAAF Diamond League meeting of Lausanne took place, and the athletes surely did not deceive! Among those performers, you will find most of them during Herculis on the 17th of July.

Justin GATLIN who ran the 100m in 9.75, close to the world leading time that he performed himself in Doha in 9.74, will come to Monaco. The meeting record of 9.82 has never been that threatened.

Nijel AMOS who won the 800m in 1:43.27, will also attend the Herculis meeting, where he had established the meeting record last year in 1:42,45 as he was facing RUDISHA and BOSSE.

The 400m hurdles specialist Bershawn JACKSON has prevailed last night in 48.71. He is the US champion this year and is the Diamond League leader; no one doubts that he will do his best to win this event during Herculis!

Another dashing performance was Christian TAYLOR’s one who, thanks to an 18,06m jump, has equaled the Diamond League record in triple jump. Herculis meeting record of 17,63m of 2002 is more than ever in danger.

Concerning the men’s shot put, David STORL has realized a 22,20m throw, therefore establishing a new meeting record in Lausanne. The 21,25m one that HOFFA had set in Monaco is imperiled.

Kershon WALCOTT has thrown his javelin at a distance of 90,16m, establishing a new national record. The athletes that came 2^nd, 3^rd, and 4^th will also be coming to Herculis.

Sifan HASSAN who won the 1500m in 4:02.36 in Lausanne will be as well in Monaco where she will confront some of the world’s best athletes during an event that should not be missed.

Dawn HARPER-NELSON that came 1^st in 12.25 during the 100m hurdles event won’t miss the Herculis meeting where she will run against her fellow countrywoman Brianna ROLLINS.

The Russian Anna CHICHEROVA has passed a 2,03m bar, therefore realizing the world leading performance of the year. We hope that she will replicate this feat here in Monaco!

Tianna BARTOLETTA has jumped 6,86m during the long jump event. The 2014 IAAF Diamond League leader has without any doubt the ambition to attain the same objective.

For the 1500m event we will welcome Mo FARAH who has won the 5000m in Lausanne with a time of 13:11.77.

Shaunae MILLER who came 1^st in the 400m in Switzerland, will be running in Monaco where she will face contestants just as talented on the 200m event.
