Blessing Okagbare of Nigeria comfortably wins the USATF Grand Prix women’s 100m in 10.97secs ahead of USA’s Morolake Akinosun and Britain’s Daryll Neita at the 2021 Oregon Relays., while Americans Allyson Felix and Tianna Bartoletta both run 11.30 to place 7th and 8th, respectively.

Bartoletta is the reigning long jump Olympic champion and two-time sprint relay gold medallist.

Okagbare’s 10.97secs is the second-best time in the world this year.

“With these conditions, I’ll take that,” the Nigerian said after the race.

Grenada’s world champion Anderson Peters won the javelin with 82.72m.

On a busy day of athletics in the United States, Olympic champion Ryan Crouser set a new world lead in the men’s shot at the Drake Relays in Des Moines, Iowa.

Crouser, who broke the indoor world record in January, threw 21.93m to maintain his unbeaten record which stretches back to the 2019 World Championships.

In Miami, 2019 world 400m bronze medallist Fred Kerley clocked the fastest time in the world this year… in the 100m.

Kerley won in 9.91s to join Wayde van Niekerk and Michael Norman as the only men to break 10 seconds for 100m and 44 seconds for 400m.

Trayvon Bromell surprised Noah Lyles in the 100m at the Oregon Relays in Eugene on Saturday (24 April).

Rio 2016 finalist Bromell showed strong form on the indoor athletics circuit this year, and made a blistering start on his 2021 outdoor debut as he took victory in 10.01s running into a slight headwind in cool conditions.

Lyles, the reigning world champion over 200m and gold medal favourite for Tokyo 2020, finished strongly to take second in 10.17s ahead of Liberia’s Emmanuel Matadi, Michael Rogers and Divine Oduduru of Nigeriaw who ran season best of 10.25s to finish 5th.

Shaunae Miller-Uibo showed why she is the reigning Olympic champion over 400m with a superb performance in the first meet at the redeveloped Hayward Field which will host next year’s World Championships.

The Bahamian star was at her effortless best in clocking a world lead 49.08s with Lynna Irby a distant second ahead of fellow American Jessica Beard.

Miller-Uibo has said she will probably not defend her 400m title in Tokyo, preferring to concentrate instead on the 200m.
