Clayton twins shine in Diamond League 100m, Tebogo wins 200m by a whisker
Tia clocked a world-leading 10.92 seconds, 0.1 second faster than her sister Tina who edged Amy Hunt by one hundredth of a second after the Briton ran a personal best to deny Jamaica a podium sweep.
"I made the world leading mark, but honestly I didn't do the best possible because I couldn't do the start I always get," Tia said.
"But other than that it was a great race for me. It is very special for me and my twin sister to finish first and second in this event tonight."
The two sisters are training partners and Tina said family ties are set aside when they race.
"When we line up for a race, we are no longer sisters, we are rival competitors," she said.
"But after the race is over, it feels really good to make the top two places."
Twice 100m Olympic champion Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce had to settle for fourth on her return to Diamond League as the 38-year-old failed to defy the odds in Doha, where she won the world title six years ago.
Tebogo started the 200 metres final well out on lane seven but the Botswanan sprinter eased up towards the end and nearly paid the price for a cheeky look over at American Courtney Lindsey in the next lane as he won by a whisker.
Tebogo clocked 20.10 seconds, just 0.01 seconds ahead of Lindsey.
WEBER BEATS CHOPRA
Twice Olympic medallist Neeraj Chopra of India breached the 90-metre mark in the men's javelin for the first time in his career but his joy was short-lived when he was pipped to top spot by Germany's Julian Weber.
Chopra warmed up with a world-leading 88.44 metres with his first throw before a monster 90.23 metres attempt in the third round for a personal best and national record.
But Weber's final effort saw the javelin soar into the night sky and land at 91.06 metres to steal victory.
Earlier, Paris silver medallist Salwa Eid Naser got things underway when she cruised to victory in the 400 metres, tying the meet record with a time of 49.83 seconds, while Tshepiso Masalela won the men's 800 metres.
Molly Caudery claimed her first win of the season in the pole vault when the Briton became the only woman to clear 4.75 metres.
Reynold Cheruiyot had the Kenyan fans in raptures when the 20-year-old stormed to victory in just his second career race in the men's 5,000 metres.
Cheruiyot switched gears in the final lap and took the lead in the last 200 metres to win with a time of 13 minutes and 16.40 seconds while South Sudan's Dominic Lobalu and Bahrain's Birhanu Balew had a photo finish for second and third.
The Kenyan fans were on their feet once again after the final event where Faith Cherotich clinched victory in the 3,000 metres steeplechase, beating Paris gold medallist Winfred Yavi in the final few metres with a sudden burst of speed.

Javelin star Haruka Kitaguchi finds new home in small Czech town
Sign up now: Get ST's newsletters delivered to your inbox Reigning Olympic and world javelin champion Haruka Kitaguchi during a training session in the Athletics tunnel in Domazlice, Czech Republic. DOMAZLICE – Reigning Olympic and world javelin champion Haruka Kitaguchi has found a new home in a remote corner of the Czech Republic, a country that is home to several javelin legends. The 27-year-old Japanese is getting ready for next month's world championships in Tokyo in the western Czech town of Domazlice. 'I can concentrate on training here. And the weather is better than in Tokyo which is too hot for me,' Kitaguchi told AFP at the local training centre – on a scorching hot Czech summer day. She ended up in the cosy historic town after teaming up with local coach David Sekerak at a training seminar in Finland in 2018. Former javelin thrower Sekerak knew that she had won the world youth championships in 2015. 'She was a big woman and I could see she had something in her,' he added, hailing her self-discipline. Kitaguchi followed him to the country of three-time Olympic javelin champion Jan Zelezny and two-time Olympic winner Barbora Spotakova. 'When I came for the first time, my coach said, today you can throw with my friend,' Kitaguchi said. 'I went with him, and there was Barbora Spotakova. It was a good experience as she is my idol.' Sekerak has since led her to the 2023 world title and the 2024 Olympic crown, together with two Diamond League titles. Mixing English and Czech, Kitaguchi said she appreciated 'a good balance' in Sekerak's training. 'He also finds a way... for me to throw far. And every competition he stands behind me, supporting me. It's great mental aid,' she added. A lover of Czech beer and heavy meals like goulash or dumplings in cream sauce, Kitaguchi said she had taken Czech lessons during the pandemic. 'But they only taught me to say 'I have a pen'. Nothing I could use in training,' she said, bursting out laughing. Her tinkling laughter can be heard even as she jogs and stretches alongside her Czech training partner Petra Sicakova, the javelin silver medallist from this year's European under-23 championships. 'My mum said when you train hard, it helps to smile. It's good for good training and good results, she said. So I do that,' Kitaguchi said. When she competed at the Paris Olympics, a cafe in Domazlice's sprawling historic square put up a large screen for locals to cheer for their neighbour. A party followed, and city officials staged an official welcome with a local bagpipe band when Kitaguchi and Sekerak returned home. In Domazlice, Kitaguchi lives in a flat in a hotel run by her coach's wife. 'I did a lot of the building work there myself,' said Sekerak, who also owns a printing shop and makes his own javelins, used by his team. Kitaguchi, who has her mother, a physiotherapist and a cook with her now, has her own model called Giant Baby, which is her Instagram nickname. Kitaguchi, whose personal best is 67.38 metres from 2023, said her dream was to beat 70 metres. 'It's my target for my life,' she said. Sekerak said Kitaguchi could even tackle Spotakova's world record of 72.28 metres from 2008. One condition is to drop 'silly thoughts' that got into Kitaguchi's head as she was coping with fame following the two big titles, he added. 'I think we wasted about a year there, but she's OK now. It helps to go for a beer and some good food and ice cream together.' Ahead of the Tokyo championships starting on September 13, Kitaguchi's form is a great unknown – she is ranked sixth worldwide this season with a best of 64.63 metres. She will compete at the Diamond League in Lausanne and Zurich in August and then fine-tune her form in Turkey before leaving for Tokyo. Sekerak said she was safer in Domazlice than in Japan where she has become the face of the championships, featuring on billboards across the country. 'It's crazy,' Kitaguchi chuckled, waving aside her celebrity status. 'I hope I can show the best (in Tokyo) with people cheering (for) me and it's going to be a great memory for me. I'm really looking forward to it.' AFP

Thompson out of sprint showdown with Lyles in Lausanne
Sign up now: Get ST's newsletters delivered to your inbox Olympic silver medallist Kishane Thompson will not run in the 100 metres at the Lausanne Diamond League on Wednesday, with media reports citing shin discomfort as the reason for the Jamaican's absence. Thompson won the much-anticipated rematch with Noah Lyles at Saturday's Diamond League meeting in Silesia, after the American beat Thompson by five thousandths of a second at last year's Olympic final, but there will be no repeat showdown in Switzerland. Saturday's race was the pair's first meeting since the Paris final, with Lyles' season delayed by an ankle injury. Thompson came out on top in a time of 9.87 seconds, with the American posting his best time of the season, coming second in 9.90. Thompson is unlikely to run again before the world championships in Tokyo in September. He is currently the man to beat after clocking 9.75 at the Jamaican championships in June. Lyles will have another Jamaican rival to contend with in Lausanne, facing Oblique Seville who beat the American when Lyles made his first 100m appearance of the season at the London Diamond League meet in July. Another Jamaican, world champion Shericka Jackson, is also absent from the women's 200 metres starting list in Lausanne. Jackson posted a season's best time of 22.17 seconds in Silesia on Saturday to win the 200m. REUTERS
