Hunter Bell, Dobson and Lake claim wins in London
Georgia Hunter Bell, Charlie Dobson and Morgan Lake claimed victories in front of a sell-out home crowd of 60,000 at the London Diamond League. Olympic 1500m bronze medallist Hunter Bell stormed clear on the home straight to take victory in the women's 800m in a season's best one minute 56.74 seconds. Dobson could barely believe his victory in the men's 400m as he burst past the leaders in the closing stages, including compatriot Matthew Hudson-Smith, to clock a personal best 44.14 seconds. Lake won the women's high jump as the only athlete to clear 1.96m in a field that included world record holder Yaroslava Mahuchikh and Olympic medallist Eleanor Patterson. But world 1500m champion Josh Kerr, who had targeted his own British record, was made to settle for second as he was upstaged by Kenyan 19-year-old Phanuel Kipkosgei Koech. Koech passed Kerr on the inside with 200m to go and held on for victory in three minutes 28.82 seconds, as Kerr clocked his best time of the season with 3:29.37. Behind, Elliot Giles was sixth in 3:32.51 and Neil Gourley placed 10th (3:33.69), but George Mills fell after being tripped on the final lap. More to follow
