Read the full preview here and check out our favorite moments in Monaco meet history here.

LIVE RESULTS


Men's 3K Steeplechase

3:45 PM ET

American record holder and Olympic medalist Evan Jager looks for his first Diamond League win here! Other Americans include Stanley Kebenei, Hillary Bor, Andy Bayer and Haron Lagat.

Jager is just over 7 minutes at the bell lap with a big lead on the field! A win looks imminent, but could he also potentially take down his American record of 8:00.45?!

He'll finish just off the record in 8:01.29, the second-fastest time in U.S. history and his first-ever Diamond League win!



Men's 100m

3:35 PM ET

Usain Bolt!!!! The world record holder brings his farewell tour to Monaco. Can he pull out the win?

The answer is yes. He never makes a big gap on the field but he pulls out the win in 9.95, a much-needed season best after failing to break 10 seconds so far this year. Isiah Young, who will represent Team USA in the 200m in London, keeps it close in 9.98, almost a PR.



Women's 3K

3:15 PM ET

Loaded field here. American Shannon Rowbury and Shelby Houlihan take on Kenya's Hellen Obiri, the favorite today, as well as Laura Muir, Dom Scott and Beatrice Chepkoech, more known for her steeplechase exploits. Molly Huddle is a late scratch.

Cut to commercial so not much to say....

Ok, we're back... Obiri is well ahead of everyone else with Chepkoech leading the chase pack

At the bell lap, Obiri is 75 meters ahead of the chase pack with 7:20 on the clock

Obiri sets a new world leader of 8:23.14. Rowbury places sixth while Houlihan takes ninth in 8:37.4, cutting nearly a full minute from her personal best.


Women's 100m Hurdles

3:05 PM ET

World record holder Keni Harrison headlines here, plus Diamond League leader Sharika Nelvis of the U.S. as well as Olympic silver medalist Nia Ali.

WOW! Very close race here... no one could tell who won right away and the camera pans on Nelvis and Harrison as they anxiously anticipate the results on the board. Harrison will barely get the win here, in just 12.51 over Nelvis' 12.52. In the post-race interview, Harrison said she hit the first hurdle and struggled to get her rhythm back.


Men's 800m

2:55 PM ET

UTEP's two-time NCAA champion Emmanuel Korir is making his Diamond League debut here, although technically the 800m is not part of the official Diamond League series. American Erik Sowinski and Drew Windle also here.

49.46 at 400m

McBride leads, but Korir surges at 200m and here he goes! 1:43.10, fastest time in the world this year!



Women's 200m

2:45 PM ET

NCAA record holder Kyra Jefferson and world team member Kimberlyn Duncan take on Marie-Josee Ta Lou, who has pressured Jamaica's double Olympic champ Elaine Thompson all season.

Ta Lou looked superb out there and powered to 22.25 but Jefferson looked very strong in last half of that race to capture second place in 22.42. Also, rocking a nice new Nike kit!

Women's 800m

2:35 PM ET

BIG match-up coming up next... Olympic medalists Caster Semenya, Francine Niyonsaba and Margaret Wambui all here, plus Ajee Wilson has said she wants to take down the American record of 1:56.4.

American Laura Roesler is the pacer here, tasked with running the first 400m in 55. She's a litte slow, 55.31.

Field running five meters (at least) behind, it's Caster, Niyonsaba running side by side with Wilson coming up fast!!!

Holy!!!! Wilson goes up next to Semenya and Niyonsaba, the three run side by side through the final straightaway and it's only in the final meters that Semenya makes her winning move to cross in 1:55.27, breaking her old national record of 1:55.28. But the story of this race is Wilson!!! The fearless runner must settle for third, but sets a new American record of 1:55.61! She is the first American to break 1:56. Insane! Jearl Miles Clark set the prior American record at 1:56.4 back in 1999.

Men's 400m

2:25 PM ET

World record holder Wayde van Niekerk sure to put on another show here. Americans Gil Roberts, Tony McQuay and Vernon Norwood are also competing.

As usual, van Niekerk waits until the very end to seal the victory... Isaac Makwala challenged him in the final 100m but was no match for the world record holder in the final meters. A new meeting record of 43.73 for van Niekerk.


null

Men's 1500m

2:15 PM ET

Let's go, Centro!!! Reigning Olympic champion hopes to lower his season-best from 3:33. He's gone through some health issues this season so he's still racing into shape. Tough field here includes Olympic medalists Nick Willis, Asbel Kiprop plus 2017 standouts Elijah Manangoi and Ronald Kwemoi, the favorite.

53.75 first 400m, Manangoi right behind the pace setters

57.68/1:51.4 for 800m, Manangoi, Cheroiyot

57.3/2:48 at 1200m, it's Cheroiyot and Managoi well ahead of the field, Centro falling back

3:28.80 world leader for Manangoi! Huge PR, meet record! Comes around Cheroiyot at the last moment


Centro fades from fifth to ninth in 3:34.43, a second off his season-best.

Women's 400m Hurdles

2:03 PM ET

Three Americans here... Shamier Little and Kori Carter, who both will rep Team USA in London, and Ashley Spencer, the Olympic bronze medalist who did not make the world team but is really very well in Europe this year.

Carter looked very smooth through this race and runs unchallenged to the win in 53.36. Little closes hard to take second in 54.02.


Men's 4x100m Relay

1:40 PM ET

Both USA teams fall to China, wow! Don't sleep on the Chinese, they were fourth in the Olympic final last year as Team USA was disqualified.

null

Women's 4x100m Relay

1:25 PM ET

USA 'Red' takes the W here in 42.34 over USA 'Blue', but apparently English Gardner has sustained a sprained ankle. This event is not in the TV window, unfortunately, so can't tell you how the Olympic gold medalist for 4x1 looked out there.
