Elaine Thompson explains #Doha2019 100m performance

Elaine Thompson-Herah, again this season stamped her class, winning her second straight Diamond League 100m race.

Thompson-Herah, who last week ran a world-leading 10.85 in Rome, produced another fast, but a little slower 10.87 today in Doha, Qatar.

Like in Rome, Thompson-Herah brushed aside Multiple world medallist Marie-Josée Ta Lou, 11.21. Kayla White of USA finished third in 11.25

Thompson-Herah now has two of the top three times of 2020. Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce’s fastest of the year is 10.86s.

Anthonique Strachan of the Bahamas finished fifth in 11.42.

In the men’s 200m, Julian Forte ran a season-best 20.39 for second place behind Arthur Cisse, who topped the field in an Ivory Coast national record of 20.23.

Barbadian Mario Burke finished 4th in 20.72, just behind Christophe Lemaitre, 20.68.

Kahmari Montgomery, 45.55 beat Yousef Karam, 45.72 in the men’s 400m.

Yanique Thompson finished down the track, eight placed in the women’s 100m hurdles, in 13.52.

Payton Chadwick won the event in a season-best 12.78 to beat her fellow American Taliyah Brooks, 12.86.
