Blessing Okagbare extended her Diamond Race lead at the MEETING AREVA, winning the women’s 200m by a mere two hundredths of a second from the USA’s Allyson Felix. The Nigerian crossed the line in a time of 22.32, with the four-time Olympic champion second in 22.34. Third place went to Anthonique Strachan of Bahamas (22.54), while France’s Myriam Soumare finished a creditable fourth in a season-best 22.60. Reigning world champion Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce of Jamaica failed to shine, however, finishing a disappointing fifth in 22.63.
