Gudaf Tsegay smashed the women's 5,000 metres world record and Armand Duplantis raised the bar again for the men's pole vault on Sunday, as the season-ending Eugene Diamond League meet concluded on a high.
The men's 200 metres at this weekend's Prefontaine Classic will feature teenage phenom Erriyon Knighton and world silver medallist Kenny Bednarek, along with Canadian star Andre De Grasse.
