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.
The 35-year-old Fraser-Pryce was expected to line up against fellow Jamaicans Elaine Thompson-Herah, Shericka Jackson as well as Marie Josee Ta Lou in the 100m that would also have Americans Aleia Hobbs, Twanisha Terry and Tamari Davis.
The severity of the injury is unknown and it is still too early to tell whether she will be fit in time for the Diamond League final in Zurich in two weeks.
Fraser-Pryce subsequently confirmed her withdrawal on her Facebook account.
"Had some discomfort in my hamstring a couple of days now and unfortunately it doesn’t seem to be getting any better. As a precaution, my coach decided not to risk it at this point," she said. "Will have a few days to get some treatment before Brussels. I’m extremely disappointed that I won’t be able to compete tonight and I’m sure you all are as well. Thanks again for the support and encouragement. No matter how hard we prepare sometimes things just don’t go as planned. The last thing I want to do is gain an injury/ injure myself."
Broadbell, the Commonwealth Games champion, stormed from behind and surged to victory in 12.99, which equalled the season-best time by Grant Holloway, who led early but faded to third in 13.11. Trey Cunningham of the USA was second in 13.10.
Olympic champion Hansle Parchment finished fourth in 13.13.
Broadbell was overwhelmed by the achievement.
"I´m thanking God right now, I will never forget this race, it's my first time under 13 seconds and I´m very happy for it," he declared.
"Everyone comes here to do their best, so I just focus on my own race and try to execute what I have practised in training. I started my season with injuries but as you can see, as the season is progressing, it's getting better and better. New training camp, much better results, the proof is there. I am happy with how things are going right now."
The 35-year-old Jamaican has run a record six times below 10.70 so far this season with a seventh on the cards when she lines up against a stacked field that includes compatriots Elaine Thompson-Herah and Shericka Jackson in the blue-riband sprint at the Athletissima Diamond League meeting in Lausanne, Switzerland on Friday.
It was at Lausanne in 2021 where she ran a lifetime best of 10.60.
Speaking at the pre-meet press conference on Thursday, the fastest woman in the world this year said her extraordinary consistency this season has been the result of constant practice and trust in her improved technique.
“When I started the season, I ran 10.6 in Kenya and I was shocked because I travelled all the way from Kingston and I was a bit tired but my execution was good and I realized the key to running fast and having consistent times is making sure I practice my technique,” she said, “and then to be able to have that consistency is wonderful and it shows that your hard work and staying true to your technique actually works.”
Since her last race in Monaco on August 10, when she ran a world-leading 10.62, Fraser-Pryce spent the last two weeks enjoying a bit of downtime celebrating the birthdays of her son Zyon and her husband Jason, as well as getting in some practice before taking on the final Diamond League races of the season.
Now back in Europe for the culmination of a long season and an eye on a fifth Diamond League title, the two-time Olympic champion, believes she still has a faster time in her tiring legs.
In May, she revealed that she was targeting 10.5 or 10.4 before the end of the 2021/2022 season. On Thursday, she said she doesn’t need a perfect race for that to happen.
“I don’t think a perfect race exists because there is always something but I want to have one of those races that everything works together or something that doesn’t work I am able to counter that at 60 or 70 so watching the races and having my coach telling me what’s happening, if I am able to fix or tweak a few things then I will be able to run faster than 10.6,” she said.
In addition to her compatriots, Fraser-Pryce will be lining up in the 100m against Africa’s fastest woman Marie Jose Ta Lou, European 100m silver medallist Majinga Kambundji as well as Americans Twanisha Terry, Aleia Hobbs and Tamari Davis.
Paulino took control of the race from the 200m mark with Williams not far behind and closing steadily. Paulino managed to hold the lead down the home stretch even though the Commonwealth Games champion was closing with every stride.
The World Championship silver medallist subsequently crossed the line first in 49.87, just ahead of Williams who clocked 49.94.
Paulino’s compatriot Fiordaliza Cofil overtook a fading Candice McLeod to finish third in a personal best 50.13. McLeod was fourth in 50.80.
Earlier, Puerto Rico’s Jasmine Camacho-Quinn ran a meet record 12.34 to win the 100m hurdles ahead of world champion and world-record holder Tobi Amusan, who clocked 12.45 for second place. Tia Jones of the USA was third in a personal best of 12.47.
Meanwhile, Shanieka Ricketts finished second in the women’s triple jump with 14.64m. As expected, Venezuela’s Yulimar Rojas won with another big performance leaping out to 15.31m.
Ukraine’s Maryna Bekh-Romanchuk was third with 14.31m.
The USA’s Noah Lyles won the 200m in 19.56 ahead of compatriot Michael Norman (19.76) with Trinidad and Tobago’s Jereem Richards finishing third in 19.95.
The race was won by the imperious Dutch athlete Femke Bol in a new meet record of 52.65.
The third Jamaican in the race, Rushell Clayton, fell late and did not finish.
Bol, who won the rare 400m hurdles/400m double at the recent European championships in Germany proved too strong for the field pulling away over the last 120m for a comfortable victory. Russell, the 2022 Commonwealth Games champion, clocked 53.92 for second place.
Knight, who missed out on the 2022 World Championships in Oregon after she fell at the Jamaica national championships in June, finished third in 54.33.
Speaking afterwards, Russell said she was disappointed with the time.
“The race was okay but, honestly, I wanted to go faster. I felt that with such fast competitors in the field I could have put together a better race,” she said.
“I shuffled between a few hurdles and did not execute my technique correctly at times. Nevertheless, I am grateful for the result because it’s been a long season and I have run a lot. I love running and it’s part of the job that I do (to also do some 4x400ms for Jamaica), so even though my body is tired I´m happy to be racing. I look forward to coming back to Switzerland for the finals in Zurich.”
Meanwhile, Knight, who had not raced since she ran 53.85 at Marietta, Georgia on July 2, was happy with her run from lane one.
“Very pleased with my race,” she said, “I felt I executed my plans well this evening, especially since I had not competed in the last two months. I hope to continue improving and doing a PB this year. It will be great if I can make it to the Diamond League final.”
