In the sprints, the meeting was highlighted by Sha'Carri Richardson winning her first Diamond League race, arguably the most significant win of her career to that point. Fred Kerley also won the 200 metres coming from behind, cementing his status as the favorite at the World Championships that season.[1]
Lamecha Girma, typically a steeplechase specialist, beat a number of non-steeplechasers to win the 3000 metres. In the javelin throw, Olympic champion Neeraj Chopra's win and world lead generated a lot of international interest.[2]
Athletes competing in the Diamond League disciplines earned extra compensation and points which went towards qualifying for the Diamond League finals in Eugene. First place earned 8 points, with each step down in place earning one less point than the previous, until no points are awarded in 9th place or lower.[3]
