As the 2025 Diamond League Championships inch closer, athletes have few chances to qualify for Zurich, and then compete to earn a spot at the 2025 Track and Field World Championships in Tokyo.

While Lausanne's field is nowhere near as star-studded as Silesia's, it has a chance to be just as exciting.  Follow along for our live updates, news, and results throughout the event.

3:52 PM ET - Women's 4x100 Meter Relay

The final event of the meeting saw Germany capture first place honors in the 4x100m relay with their 42.53 clocking. Netherlands was next through the line in 42.60 and the quartet representing Switzerland took third in the standings due to their 42.81 showing. Their mark represents a 2025 season's best for the home crowd favorites.

3:40 PM ET - Men's 100 Meter

In arguably the most highly anticipated race of the meeting, Oblique Seville took control early and finished with authority, producing a 9.87 (-0.3) mark for the victory. Battling Ackeem Blake for positioning, Olympic champion Noah Lyles found some separation late to secure a second place finish in 10.02. The Jamaica native Blake trailed Lyles narrowly and locked-up 3rd in 10.02. Akani Simbine finished fourth overall in 10.05 and Great Britain's Zharnel Hughes rounded out the top 5 with his 10.09 performance. Notably, Jamaican sprints star Kishane Thompson was originally scheduled to be in the line-up, but he was announced as a scratch in the days leading up to the meeting. 

3:32 PM ET - Men's 400 Meter Hurdles

Ezekiel Nathaniel edged Trevor Bassitt at the line to claim 400m hurdle honors with his 48.08 mark. Bassitt trailed narrowly behind securing second in 48.14. That was a season's best time in the event for the former Ashland University standout. Slovenia's Ian Gucek Matic took third overall in 49.23. 

3:23 PM ET - Men's 800 Meter

On the heels of a furious finish, American Josh Hoey outpaced a deep field for the triumph over 800 meters. Moving into the outer lanes late, Hoey clocked 1:42.82 to continue his remarkable 2025 calendar year. Kenya native Emmanuel Wanyonyi hung on for second with his 1:43.29 clocking and Spain's Mohamed Attaoui finished third in 1:43.38. Still well in the mix late, Max Burgin and Marco Arop placed fourth and fifth with Great Britain's Burgin going 1:43.44 and the Canadian Arop running 1:43.91. 

3:14 PM ET - Women's 100 Meter Hurdles

Nadine Visser goes 12.45 for first overall in the 100m hurdles contest. The Netherlands-based athlete owns a personal best mark of 12.28 in the event from earlier this season. Despite struggling over hurdles 2, 3 and 4 Masai Russell hung on for second place in 12.53. The American has enjoyed a torrid 2025 campaign highlighted by her personal best effort of 12.17, which she produced back in May at the Ansin Sports Complex in Miramar, Florida. Finishing 3rd in Lausanne was the crowd favorite Ditaji Kambundjl, of Switzerland, who clocked 12.54. Rounding out the race's line-up for Americans was Alaysha Johnson in 6th (12.94) and Kendra Harrison in the 8th spot at 13.20. 

2:55 PM ET - Men's 5000 Meter

Encountering torrential rainfall, the men in the 5000 meter contest put on an electric bell lap with several athletes still in the mix late. Isaac Kimeli would eventually pull away from Grant Fisher over the finishing sequence to secure his victory in 13:07.67. Fisher locked up second in 13:08.51 while four others went sub 13:10 with Eduardo Herrera, Samuel Tefera, Rokitto Kipkurui Ishmael and Edwin Kurgat occupying places three through six. 

2:50 PM ET - Men's Long Jump

Negotiating a slick runway and damp sand pit, the high jump event was won by Anvar Anvarov, who leaped 7.84m (-0.3). This winning effort came during his first jump of the contest. Taking second was Switzerland native Simon Ehammer, who jumped 7.72m (-0.7). Jamaicans occupied positions 3, 4 and 5, as Tajay Gayle, Carey McLeod and Wayne Pinnock produced respective marks of 7.71m, 7.67 and 7.61m, all under legal wind conditions. 

2:49 PM ET - Women's 200 Meter

Again with athletes navigating slick conditions throughout the meet, Brittany Brown, Favour Ofili and Marie-Josée Ta Lou-Smith claimed the top three positions in one of the day's most highly anticipated races. Their finishing times were 22.23, 22.31 and 22.37, respectively. Marileidy Paulino took fourth overall in 22.43 and Dina Asher-Smith was fifth in 22.64. McKenzie Long clocked 22.69 for sixth place overall.

Great Britain's Elise Thorner was next across the line, finishing fourth in 9:21.74 and representing the USA, Courtney Wayment was fifth overall with her 9:26.89 showing. 

2:25 PM ET - Women's High Jump

The women's high jump contest awarded three winners with no jump-off process conducted. Successfully clearing a height of 1.91m, Christina Honsel (Germany), Nicola Olyslagers (Australia) and Maria Zodzik (Poland) shared the 3-way victory. Meeting organizers made this determination with athlete safety in mind, as wet conditions persisted throughout the event. 

2:23 PM ET - Men's 110 Meter Hurdles

Eclipsing 13-seconds on wet track conditions, Cordell Tinch claims the 110m hurdles win. Tinch, clocking 12.98, led a top 3 finish for Americans. Jamal Britt and Trey Cunningham occupied the second and third positions in times of 13.13 and 13.19, respectively. Fellow American Dylan Beard finished in 7th place with a 13.30 mark.
