Well, better to happen in Monaco than in Budapest, but that's still shocking from Duplantis.

What's wrong with you? Why are you wishing injury on someone?

Great crowds at London diamond league and conditions looking pretty good - could see a decent number of OQT today.

 Set a WL 37.80 in a test 4x100m - gets them Q for Budapest, assuming 16 other countries don’t beat them next week.

Who an earth is in charge of the Diamond League graphics these last few years? They are just truly terrible as always and not visually appealing. It is also annoying how they show start-lists, particularly in the sprints and relays where they can easily show the 8 names on the screen at once, but no they decide to show 6 and then scroll through the remaining ones.
And then the results are always annoyingly bad, takes an age to find out where everyone finished and the times. And the field events are another cluster. It's seriously not that hard.

Jeanette Kwakye on BBC coverage saying Zharnel Hughes is the man to beat in Budapest  Talk about being over-hyped off the back of 1 good result.

European Record 51.45 for Femke Bol in the Hurdles.  

[Josh 6,039]

51.45 for  Bol in the women's 400m hurdles! Third fastest performance all-time, and a PB too!

Nice touch from Crousser going and thanking each of the volunteer officials in the shot put.

 Megan Keith - European Under 23 champion - slashes over half a minute off her 5,000m PB to run 14:57. Assuming she stays injury free over the next few months, can easily see her getting herself a place on the Eurostar for Paris next year.
