Commenting first of all on the female athletes,<\/span> <\/span>Maria LASITSKENE (tough name to write, but easy to love)<\/b> with a jump of 2.06m, managed to achieve the best jump worldwide this year, along with the 5<\/span>th<\/sup> <\/span>best jump known to this day, and Lausanne\u2019s Meeting\u2019s record height.<\/span> <\/span>LASITSKENE<\/b> <\/span>gave her best shot at beating a world record set by the Bulgarian high jumper<\/span> <\/span>Stefka KOSTADINOVA<\/b>, 2.10m, but unfortunately did not manage to do so. Regardless of the matter, her performance on the night was outstanding, and extremely entertaining to all viewers. The American 400m Hurdles runner<\/span> <\/span>Ashley SPENCER <\/b>won a spectacular race in an incredible time of 53\u201d90. Another runner who noticeably stood out was<\/span> <\/span>Francine NIOYNSABA<\/b> <\/span>in the Women\u2019s 800m, who was in the lead and remained in that position over the last 550m, and finished in a time of 1\u201956\u201d82.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

On behalf on the male athletes, pole vault athlete <\/span>Renaud LAVILLENIE<\/b> came in third place in a very competitive event, with a jump of 5.87m. South African, 400m World Record holder Wayde VAN-NIEKERK <\/b>beautifully sprinted his way to first place in his race, running it in 43\u201d62, the fastest time this year, a Diamond League record as well as a Lausanne Meeting record.<\/p>\n
