Dina Asher-Smith continued her preparations for the World Championships with a season's best time as she finished second in the women's 200m at the Diamond League finals in Zurich.
After last week breaking her own British Championship record in the women's 100m, the triple European sprint champion finished second behind Bahamian Shaunae Miller-Uibo in a time of 22.08 seconds.
As at the Birmingham Grand Prix where she also finished second to Miller-Uibo, Asher-Smith led at the halfway mark in Zurich only for the 400m specialist to move away with a burst of speed and win in a world leading time of 21.74.
It means the 23-year-old Brit just misses out on adding a Diamond League title to her ever-increasing resume for the second consecutive year.
However, if there is any consolation to be had it is in the fact that Miller-Uibo will not be competing in the 200m in Doha and Asher-Smith beat a strong field including Olympic champion Elaine Thompson into second here.
In another star-studded race, British duo Zharnel Hughes and Adam Gemili both registered times of 10.15 seconds in the men’s 100m to finish in sixth and seventh respectively as America's Noah Lyles won in 9.98.
Elsewhere Laviai Nielsen, who won the women’s British 400m title in Birmingham, ran a strong race in the women’s 400m to finish fifth in a time of 51.70 seconds.
Holly Bradshaw, who won the women's pole vault with a new Championship record of 4.73m at the British Championships, finished fifth in the event with 4.72m while Jemma Reekie and Eilish McColgan came 11th and 12th in the women’s 1500m.
