Masai Russell runs new Diamond League Record in Silesia

Olympic champion Masai Russell is a woman in form this season, dropping another amazing performance to set a new Diamond League Record in Silesia.

The American hurdling queen led one of the fastest women's 100mH race in history, as the Top 5 finishers all ran under the 12.35s mark, with three of the other top five finishers clocking new Personal Best's (PB).

Russell outclassed the field storming to a new Diamond League Record (DLR) of 12.19s, just .02s off her world-leading and American record of 12.17s set earlier in the season at the Grand Slam Track in Miami.

Tonea Marshall ran a brilliant PB of 12.24s for second, just edging world record holder Tobi Amusan to third in 12.25s. Reigning world champion Danielle Williams also ran a PB of 12.31s to finish fourth, ahead of Alia Armstrong in fifth in a PB of 12.32s.

Their performances showed the depth of the women's 100mH field, how competitive it is, and why there's still no outright favourite for the world title in Tokyo next month.
