I\u2019m happy with the 10.87, it\u2019s another sub-10.9 for me,\u201d Hobbs said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is my first time running in Lausanne. Funnily enough, I was supposed to make my professional debut here a few years ago and I got injured and couldn\u2019t race so it\u2019s great to finally be able to run on this track.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the men\u2019s 200m, Tokyo Olympics bronze medallist Noah Lyles ran a great bend to win his third Diamond League title of the season with a time of 19.56 seconds.<\/p>\n<p>He beat compatriot Michael Norman by two-tenths of a second in an American one-two while Jereem Richards of Trinidad &#038; Tobago was third.<\/p>\n<p>India\u2019s Olympic champion Neeraj Chopra returned to winning ways in the men\u2019s javelin following his silver at the world championships last month. His mark of 89.08 metres with his first throw was enough for victory.<\/p>\n<p>Chopra was forced to skip the Commonwealth Games earlier this month due to injury and his mark was well ahead of the second-placed Czech Republic\u2019s Jakub Valdeich (85.88m) and American Curtis Thompson (83.72m).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m delighted with my result tonight, 89 metres is a great performance,\u201d Chopra said. \u201cI am specially pleased as I\u2019m coming back from an injury and tonight was a good indicator that I\u2019ve recovered well.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI had to skip the Commonwealth Games due to injury and I was a bit nervous. Tonight has given me a lot of confidence to finish the season on a high.\u201d<\/p>\n<p> (Reporting by Rohith Nair in Bengaluru; Editing by Ken Ferris)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/?attachment_id=2741867\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI7P0V8-VIEWIMAGE.jpg\" alt=\"tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI7P0V8-VIEWIMAGE\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LAUSANNE (Reuters) \u2013 American Aleia Hobbs won the women\u2019s 100 metres at the Diamond League meeting in Lausanne, beating Jamaica\u2019s Shericka Jackson in a photo finish on Friday.
