A total of eight world-leading performances were set at the competition, three of which were also meeting records. Daniel Ståhl of Sweden gave the highlight of the meeting with six straight discus throws beyond 69.50 m (the first man ever to deliver such as series) including a Diamond League record of 70.56 m. Caster Semenya of South Africa won the women's 800 metres in a meet record of 1:54.98 minutes and American Dalilah Muhammad improved the previous women's 400 metres hurdles record with her time of 53.61 seconds. The other world leaders on the men's side came from Nijel Amos of Botswana (1:44.29 in the 800 m), Kenyan Elijah Manangoi (3:32.21 in the 1500 metres) and Soufiane El Bakkali of Morocco (8:07.22 in the 3000 metres steeplechase). Great Britain's Dina Asher-Smith ran a world leading time of 22.26 to win the women's 200 metres and Kenya's Hellen Obiri overcame Genzebe Dibaba to win the women's 3000 metres in 8:25.60 minutes. The latter was among the highlights of the meet in terms of strength in depth, as it saw eight athletes achieve lifetime bests. The men's shot put also produced high quality performances, with winner Ryan Crouser and runner-up Tom Walsh both going beyond twenty-two metres.[1][2]
