The fates conspired against Jamaica’s 100m women and the USA’s Aleia Hobbs took full advantage to win in the blue-ribbon sprint in 10.87 at the Athletissima Diamond League meeting in Lausanne, Switzerland on Friday.

Shericka Jackson was second in 10.88 while Marie Josee Ta Lou of the Ivory Coast was third in 10.89 in a blanket finish.

"I feel good about the race, I´m a little disappointed with the time but that's how it is," Jackson said afterwards.

"I think my start was poor and that affected my overall time but it's just something I´ll continue to work on."

Jamaica’s big three were expected to feature in the much-anticipated clash at the site where Fraser-Pryce ran a lifetime best 10.60 in 2021.

However, the 35-year-old Fraser-Pryce, who had run six times under 10.70 so far this season, suffered a hamstring strain during warm-ups and withdrew from the race.

Elaine Thompson-Herah, who was taking the track for the first time since he sprint-double victory at the Commonwealth Games, was disqualified after a false start.

The Olympic champion’s mental lapse might have been triggered by Shericka Jackson, who left the blocks early during the previous attempt to start and received a yellow card as a result.

Jackson was clearly unsettled by the time the race finally got underway. She got off to a poor start but managed to storm back to claim a place on the podium.
