This is the podcast of deep thoughts on the Lausanne DL meeting, which was held on 5 July 2019. We found five points of interest on the 2019 Athletissima meeting. It is always a highlight of the season, as the meets in July (Lausanne, Monaco, London) all come as athletes are putting their final touches on their fitness.
Timothy Cheruiyot set a WL of 3:28.77, with Jakob Ingebrigtsen’s NR of 3:30.16. Piotr Lisek took the PV win and cleared 6.01m. Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce won the 100m in a WL 10.74. Mariya Lasitskene cleared 2.02m in the HJ. In a classic 400m duel, Salwa Eid Naser won in 49.17 over Aminatou Seyni’s 49.19.
