July 3 : Back-to-back Olympic women’s discus champion Valarie Sion won her event with a best throw of 68.64 metres as the Prefontaine Classic got underway on Friday in Eugene, Oregon.
• Sion, who was previously known as Valarie Allman before marrying this year, has been on a tear since her 30-meet winning streak came to a shock end in March.
• Olympic champion Ethan Katzberg threw 83.33m to win the men’s hammer in the first event of the programme, the Canadian setting a world lead.
• American Brandon Miller (1:43.68) held on to upset 17-year-old Cooper Lutkenhaus by almost a second in the 800m, while 2019 world champion Donavan Brazier was third in 1:44.86.
