Olympic champion Elaine Thompson-Herah ran the second-fastest women's 100m of all time at the Eugene Diamond League.

The Jamaican, who retained her 100m-200m title double in Tokyo, clocked a new world lead of 10.54 seconds.

Only American Florence Griffith-Joyner has run faster when she set her world record of 10.49 secs in 1988.

In the 100m, Thompson-Herah's Jamaican compatriots Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce and Shericka Jackson were second and third respectively in a repeat of the Tokyo podium.
