Julien Alfred completed her perfect season at the finale of the Diamond League series in Brussels on Friday, while Jakob Ingebrigtsen secured victory in the 1,500 metres to make up for his Paris hiccup.
Alfred, the Olympic gold medallist from St Lucia, led most of the women's 100 metres but was pushed close to the line by Britain's Dina Asher-Smith, to finish in 10.88 seconds. American Sha'Carri Richardson, the silver medallist in Paris, ended a disappointing eighth.
Ingebrigtsen, who won the men's 5,000 metres in Paris but came in a disappointing fourth in the 1,500 metres, led into the final lap of the middle distance race in Brussels, kicking away from his nearest rivals with 200 metres to go.
Kenya's Timothy Cheruiyot was second and Olympic champion Cole Hocker just one hundredth of a second behind in third.
On a cool September evening in Brussels, less conducive to records, the winners in 16 disciplines earned a Diamond League trophy and $30,000. Another 16 events will be held on Saturday.
