Rizzo claims huge scalp at venue of world aths titles
In-form sprinter Bree Rizzo has headlined a big day for Australian athletics in Tokyo, beating American star Sha'Carri Richardson to take out the 100m. A month after claiming the Stawell Gift off scratch, Rizzo was among six Australian wins, three meet records and seven podium finishes at the Seiko grand prix. It was held at the National Stadium, which will host September's world championships. Rizzo, who also finished third last month behind Torrie Lewis in the 100m at the Australian championships, clocked 11.38 seconds to win the 100m in Tokyo , with Richardson finishing fourth. Just over a year ago, Lewis beat Richardson at a Diamond League meeting in China. A 16-athlete Australian team made itself at home in Tokyo ahead of the worlds, with Georgia Griffith also posting the fastest outdoor time of the year in the women's 1500m. Griffith clocked four minutes 01.10 seconds to also break the 10-year meeting record held by Ethiopian great Gudaf Tsegay. The Australian won by five seconds, with compatriot Sarah Billings taking third place. Rose Davies and Jude Thomas dominated the 3000m events, also breaking the meet records. Davies' 8:42.38 gave her the women's race by nearly six seconds, and Thomas improved to 10th on the all-time Australian men's list with his 7:39.69 win. Reece Holder won the men's 400m in 44.76 seconds, and Liam Adcock's last jump of 8.20m won him the long jump.

Olympic 100m silver medallist Richardson beaten in Tokyo season opener
The American, who ran with strapping on her lower right leg, was slow out of the blocks and never led the Golden Grand Prix women's 100m, which was won by Australia's Bree Rizzo in 11.38. American Twanisha Terry, fifth in last year's Olympics, was second in 11.42 followed by Canada's Sade McCreath in 11.46. World champion Richardson will attempt to defend her title in the Japanese capital in September. "It's a season-opener for those athletes and they will be very, very strong come the world championships," said Rizzo. "I really look up to those athletes so to come out on top was pretty exciting for an Australian athlete." Christian Coleman, Richardson's boyfriend and training partner, finished third in the men's 100m in a time of 10.11sec. Japan's Hiroki Yanagita won the race in 10.06, followed by American Christian Miller in 10.08. "Each race, every opportunity I have is more of a mental, internal battle for me to get better," said Coleman, the 2019 100m world champion. "I felt some good things today and I want to just keep getting better at it." Ukraine's world and Olympic champion Yaroslava Mahuchikh won the women's high jump with a leap of 1.96m, far below her world record of 2.10m. She also won at both Diamond League meetings in China at Xiamen and Shanghai/Keqiao in the past month. "I'm satisfied with this competition," said Mahuchikh. "Of course the result is not good but I'm happy with that because my body is not ready to jump high today." Japan's world and Olympic champion Haruka Kitaguchi won the women's javelin with a throw of 64.16m. American Robert Gregory won the men's 200m in 20.24sec ahead of Canada's Andre De Grasse, who won gold at the same stadium at the pandemic-postponed Tokyo Olympics in 2021.
