Swiss hurdler Jason Joseph finished the season with a higher ranking.
The Swiss in action
At the end of the season, Jason taught Joseph 110 m hurdles with 2nd place a rewarding achievement. In 13.40 seconds, the Basler was 11 hundredths above its Swiss record. Joseph gave a better moment at the beginning: the only Swiss in Doha did not come out of the blocks as requested. From about the third hurdle onward, Joseph got better and better. American winner Aaron Mallet (13.15) stayed out of reach.
The rest of the field, which only consisted of 5 athletes after a miss start and 2 false starts, Joseph had nevertheless under control. “The start was a disaster,” he said after the race. With a better start, Joseph said, his Swiss record of 13.29 seconds would have fallen.
I am oval
This swedish Armand Duplantis drove another victory in the Qatari capital. For once, the flyer of the season had to be content with a modest height of 5.82m. Duplantis broke twice at 5.92m before failing once at 6.07m. Sam Kendricks (USA / 2nd) and Renaud Lavillenie (FRA / 3rd) jumped 5.82m like Duplantis, but recorded more failed attempts.
On the track
There was a new annual world record to marvel at during the double track lap. Faith kipyegon Kenya achieved a safe victory in 1: 57.68 minutes and at the same time improved his personal best in 0.34 seconds. In its wake, the Spanish Esther Guerrero and the British Adelle Tracey also stayed below 2 minutes.
Also in the last competition of the meeting there was a better annual. In a very fast 3000m race, 7 athletes remained under 8:27 minutes. The best time of the previous year in the world was 8: 40.26 minutes. The first 5 places were all for Kenya. The winner was Hellen Obiri in 8: 22.54 minutes.
