A star has been born.
Aussie teenager Torrie Lewis has stunned the athletics world to win the women’s 200m in her debut Diamond League appearance.
Lewis tipped Richardson with a final lunge at the line to win by jut 0.03 seconds with a time of 22.96 seconds. “I just did Nationals on Sunday and came here straight from that. I know that this was their season opener so I knew I had an edge coming in but I just wasn’t entirely sure because I had never raced those athletes before.”
There was no such drama for Christian Coleman in the men’s 100m, the American holding his composure after his trademark fast start misfired for the win in 10.13sec, teammate Fred Kerley in second at 0.04sec. A loaded 100m hurdles saw Olympic champion Jasmine Camacho-Quinn come from behind to take the win in a meeting record of 12.45sec.
