CHRISTIAN TAYLOR and Elaine Thompson were among few Olympic champions to produce some of their best form as the first of two Diamond League finals decided the overall standings.
At the end of their long season and with the major championships behind them, athletes generally were past their peak as series points clearly mattered more than top-draw performances. Fourteen “Diamond Race” winners – those who scored the most points in their events overall in the series – were decided in Zurich, with the remainder of the disciplines being staged at Brussels on September 9. At stake was a top overall series prize of $40,000 for each event.
