However, the Olympic champion was edged by .01 on Thursday by the rival he beat for gold, Orlando Ortega. The Spaniards winning run was 13.11.American hurdlers dominated the womens races, and Kendra Harrison again showed what she could have achieved in Rio had she earned selection at national trials.Harrison, who set a world record of 12.20 in London last month, won here in 12.42 -- faster by .06 than the Olympic gold-winning time of teammate Brianna Rollins, who did not run Thursday.Olympic champion Dalilah Muhammad timed 53.78 in a clear 400 hurdles win.Two American bronze medalists in Rio won their events: LaShawn Merritt clocked 44.50 in the 400, and Sam Hendricks set a pole vault meet record by clearing the bar at 5.92. Hendricks used the ideal conditions on a warm, still evening in Lausanne to go seven centimeters above his Olympic height.Two Olympic silver medalists dueled in the womens 3,000: Genzebe Dibaba, the 1,500 runner-up from Ethiopia, won in 8:31.84 after kicking hard at the bell to leave Olympic 5,000 runner-up Hellen Obiri of Kenya trailing in second.Rio silver medalists who also won in Lausanne were Mutaz Essa Barshim of Qatar, clearing 2.35 at the third attempt in the high jump, and Francine Niyonsaba of Burundi in the womens 800.
