Once again, today’s race was won by Jamaican superstar Elaine Thompson-Herah, 31, who bettered her season-best time set earlier in the week, crossing the finish line in 10.84 secs (+0.0 m/s).

Jamaican teammate Natasha Morrison was second, also in a season-best 10.95 secs, while British sprinter Dina Asher-Smith was third in 10.97 secs.

The quickest Hobbs has run the 100m is 10.96 secs, set in Switzerland in July.
