Megan Tapper stuns loaded 100mH field, storms to first career Diamond League win in Monaco

Tokyo Olympic bronze medallist Megan Tapper proved again why she's in the form of her life, stunning a loaded women's 100mH field for her first career Diamond League win in Monaco.

The 31-year-old clocked an equal Personal Best (PB) of 12.34s (-1.1), finishing far ahead of world indoor silver medallist Ditaji Kambundji in 12.43s, who clocked her second fastest time ever behind her PB of 12.40s from Euro's last year, while Nadine Visser settled for third in 12.56s.

Olympic champion Masai Russell, still returning to full fitness after an injury setback, was fourth in 12.57s.

Speaking after the win, Tapper poured all her emotions out acknowledging her struggles through the years.

“I did not get the opportunity to get here in 2023, so this is my first time in Monaco, my first Diamond League meeting of the year and my first Diamond League win.”

Tapper's performance was highly impressive as it was a major statement that her Jamaican title-winning time was no fluke and she's now in the chat to challenge for a medal at the World Championships in Tokyo.
