The event also witnessed impressive performances from other athletes. Kirani James of Grenada, a former world and Olympic champion in the 400 meters, emerged victorious in his event, while Trinidad and Tobago’s Jereem Richards narrowly edged out American Matthew Boling in the men’s 200 meters, aided by a significant tailwind.

In the women’s events, Tamari Davis took home the 100 meters title, and Abby Steiner made a triumphant return from injury with a win in the 200 meters. The hurdles saw American Amber Hughes and Britain’s Hannah Segrave claim victories in their respective events.
