There was a major upset in the men's 100m A race at the sold-out Zurich Diamond League meet yesterday, as Kemar Bailey-Cole of Jamaica won in 9.96, ahead of American Mike Rodgers (10.05), and Britain's James Dasaolu (10.06). Another Jamaican, Asafa Powell, came fourth in 10.07, Brit Adam Gemeli fifth in 10.13, and a third Jamaican, Nesta Carter, sixth in 10.14. Pre-race favourite Tyson Gay was well beaten in the start, and gave up the ghost towards the end to trail in last in 10.35.

In the women's equivalent, Jamaica's Veronica Campbell-Brown won in 11.04, just pipping Muriel Ahoure of the Ivory Coast, who posted the same time, while Nigeria's Blessing Okagbare was third in 11.06.

Trinidadian Keshorn Walcott threw a national record of 85.77 to take second in the men's javelin behind Germany's Thomas Rohler (87.63).

Panamanian Alonso Edward won the men's 200m in 19.95, just ahead of Jamaicans Nickel Ashmeade (20.01) and Rasheed Dwyer (20.21).

Congrats to the three Jamaican champions....

"JAMAICA'S Kaliese Spencer and Novlene Williams-Mills confirmed their outstanding seasons after picking up their IAAF Diamond trophies at yesterday's final Diamond League meeting of the season held in Brussels, Belgium. Commonwealth Games champion Spencer won her fourth Diamond Trophy in five years after grinding out a win in the 400m hurdles, while Williams-Mills finished third in her 400m race. Both women had wrapped up the titles prior to yesterday's meeting, while a third Jamaican Nesta Carter who had a long shot at the men's 100m Diamond Trophy came up short, as he was seventh in the race that was won by American Justin Gatlin in a World-leading 9.77 seconds (0.6m/s). A third Jamaican, Veronica Campbell Brown, also won an IAAF Diamond trophy in the 100m that was completed last week in Zurich."
