class=\"aiir-c-news-article__abstract\">\n            Amy Hunt followed up her historic European Championships performance by finishing second in the 200 metres at the Lausanne Diamond League.\n        <\/p>\n<p class=\"first\">Less than a week after completing her set of four gold medals in Birmingham, the sprinter was on the starting blocks in Switzerland and she edged out Nigerian Favour Ofili in a photo finish.<\/p>\n<p>Hunt&#8217;s time of 22.32sec was a little way adrift of American winner Kayla White, while two-time world champion Shericka Jackson failed to finish after suffering a leg injury.<\/p>\n<p>Zharnel Hughes finished fifth in the equivalent men&#8217;s race, which was won by Botswana&#8217;s Olympic champion Letsile Tebogo, while Elise Thorner was eighth in the women&#8217;s 3,000m steeplechase.<\/p>\n<p>The most popular winner of the night, meanwhile, was home favourite Audrey Werro, who, just a week after beating Britain&#8217;s Keely Hodgkinson to European 800m gold, triumphed again.<\/p>\n<p>Werro pipped Dutchwoman Femke Bol, while the former 400m hurdler continued her rapid rise by setting a new national record of 1:55.41.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The turnaround after the European Championships was very short, so I had to recover quickly, and I felt more tired than \u200busual today,&#8221; Werro said. &#8220;Despite that, I managed to win, so I&#8217;m very happy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Olympic champion Masai Russell of the \u2060US led from the first barrier to win the women&#8217;s 100m hurdles \u200bin 12.27 for her ninth consecutive victory this season.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It was another win, so it keeps the streak alive, and \u200bI&#8217;m very pleased,&#8221; Russell said. &#8220;I hadn&#8217;t raced in a month, so I was really happy to see that my performance was right where I left it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\n                (c) Sky Sports 2026: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skysports.com\/share\/13575631\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"
