Lyles wins Tebogo rematch, Wanyonyi tops high class 800m at Monaco Diamond League

MONACO, July 11 (Reuters) - American Noah Lyles made an impressive season debut in the 200 metres to beat Olympic champion Letsile Tebogo at the Monaco Diamond League meeting on Friday, where Kenyan Emmanuel Wanyonyi outclassed a high-class 800 metres field. An injury-hampered campaign had raised doubts over three-times world 200m champion Lyles's chances of defending his title in Tokyo in September, but the 100m Olympic gold medallist responded to the doubters in style. Lyles finished third over 200m in Paris last year but shortly after finishing the race won by Botswana's Tebogo the American said he had COVID-19, and the pair had not faced each other since then. Tebogo was quick out of the blocks and stuck with Lyles around the bend with the two side by side going into the home straight but the American pulled away in the final 50 metres to win in 19.88 seconds with Tebogo coming home in 19.97. "I put myself in the fire for that one coming back against Tebogo," Lyles said. "I didn't feel any pressure, I don't see any reason to put pressure on myself, that's what we love to do." As defending champion, Lyles does not need to worry about qualifying from the U.S. championships at the end of July, and will head to London to compete in the 100m next week. "I am going to go to the London Diamond League. I have been missing to compete for the last few weeks. "I was watching Prefontaine and I wanted to be there but we wanted first to make sure that I am healthy and fully able to compete." The highly anticipated men's 800m, which featured all eight Olympic finalists from Paris, was expected to threaten David Rudisha's world record of 1:40.91 which has stood since 2012. Olympic champion Wanyonyi hit the front down the back straight, opening up an unassailable gap and finishing in a time of 1:41.44, ahead of American Josh Hoey, who failed to make last year's Olympics but won the world indoor title in March. "The 800m is now very competitive so I need to push even harder than usual on my trainings," Wanyonyi said. "Sometimes I am thinking about the world record. I think I can break it in the future." Femke Bol is now unbeaten in 28 Diamond League 400m hurdles races after the Dutchwoman sailed to a world lead and meeting record of 51.95 seconds. The 2016 Olympic champion Dalilah Muhammad, racing in her final season, set the early pace but Bol looked comfortable and eased into the lead rounding the final bend. Olympic champion Paulino Marileidy had to battle down the home straight before catching American 21-year-old Aaliyah Butler in the closing metres to win the women's 400 flat. "It felt amazing to be so close to Paulino, to know that all the work I am putting in is coming out with amazing results," Butler said. Olympic gold medallist Masai Russell continues to struggle since breaking the American record in early May, finishing fourth in the women's 100m hurdles won by Jamaica's Megan Tapper. Russell also finished fourth in Eugene on Saturday. Two-times Olympic and world pole vault champion Mondo Duplantis was the only athlete to clear six metres, setting a meeting record of 6.05, but failed in his three attempts at 6.29 to break the world record for a 13th time. In the final race of the evening, St Lucian Julien Alfred bounced back from her defeat in Eugene to win the women's 100m, with the Olympic champion posting 10.79.

Lyles beats Olympic champion Tebogo on 200m return

Noah Lyles beat Olympic champion Letsile Tebogo in the men's 200m at the Diamond League meet in Tebogo beat the American in the Olympic 200m final last year when it emerged after the race that Lyles, who came third, had tested positive for had also gone into the race in Monaco having set a world leading 19.76 seconds when he won the 200m at the last Diamond League meeting in Eugene on 5 100m champion Lyles had not raced since a 400m run in April and last competed 338 days ago in the the 27-year-old impressively held on to win in 19.88 as Tebogo came in second in 19.97."It was a great race, I'm really glad to be healthy," said Lyles, who had not raced over 100m or 200m this season prior to Monaco. "This shows I'm still in the game."I put myself in the fire for that one coming back against Tebogo. But I didn't feel any pressure, I don't see any reason to put pressure on myself - that's what we love to do." Tebogo, 22, said he was "disappointed" in his performance but now has an "idea of what to work on".Sweden's Armando Duplantis won the men's pole vault with 6.05m but missed out in his attempt at adding a centimetre to the world record height of 6.28m, while Emmanuel Wanyonyi, of Kenya, set a world-leading 1:41.44 in the men's 800m. Dutchwoman Femke Bol impressed in the 400m hurdles for a world-leading 51.95 as she beat Americans Dalilah Muhammad, who was second in 52.58, and third-placed Anna Cockrell (52.91)."Running 51 is always very special, I don't do that every day," said Bol. "I am feeling good so far this season, I had a great start to it."St Lucia's Julien Alfred put in a dominant performance in the women's 100m as the Olympic champion won in 10.79. The next Diamond League event will take place in the UK for a sold-out London Athletics Meet on 19 finals will take place in Zurich on 27 and 28 August - just over a fortnight before the start of the World Athletics Championships in Tokyo, Japan.

Those two sides meet in the final round of games on Monday with a place in the quarter-finals virtually assured.A first point for Tanzania keeps their hopes of reaching the knock-out stages alive, but the East Africans must beat Ghana, who drew 1-1 with Mali earlier on Friday, to have a chance of progressing.
