Olympic 100m champion Elaine Thompson has taken centre stage in the absence of her Jamaican teammate Usain Bolt in the first Diamond League meet after the Rio de Janeiro Games.
Thompson timed 10.78 seconds with a slight tailwind at Athletissima - just .07 outside her time in the 100m final in Rio and .08 behind her world-leading time this season.
It was Thompson's second time down the track after most runners initially ignored a false start gun on Thursday.
"To be able to produce (10.78) on a second attempt, it's a great time," said Thompson, a double gold medallist in 100m and 200m who almost matched Bolt's title triple, but took home silver in the 4x100 relay.
With Bolt celebrating his 30th birthday in London, Churandy Martina of the Netherlands won the 200m in 19.81, just .03 slower than Bolt ran in the Olympic final.
