Eilidh Doyle continued her preparations for Rio with a new 400m hurdles personal best at the Monaco Diamond League meeting.
Doyle stopped the clock at 54.09 seconds for her second Diamond League victory of the year.
“I'm absolutely delighted,” she said. “It wasn't even a great race; the last hurdle was very poor so I think there's a lot more to come. If I get it right, I can definitely go sub 54 seconds.”
Elsewhere double Olympic champion Mo Farah was fifth in the 1500m while Charlie Grice set a new personal best on the way to ninth.
Lynsey Sharp ran her second fastest 800m time ever for sixth place while Steph Twell and Rosie Clarke also set personal bests in the 3000m.
Robbie Grabarz recorded a season’s best of 2.31m for joint fourth in the high jump and Holly Bradshaw also did the same with 4.65m in the pole vault, again for fourth overall.
Great Britain’s Chris Froome extended his lead in the Tour de France after finishing second in the stage 13 time trial.
Dutchman Tom Dumoulin clocked the quickest time for the 37.5km stage from Bourg-Saint-Andeol to La Caverne du Pont-D’Arc in 50 minutes and 15 seconds.
Froome was second in 51 minutes and 18 seconds and in doing so, extended his yellow jersey advantage to one minute and 47 seconds ahead of nearest challenger Bauke Mollema.
Kyle Edmund believes remaining relaxed during the rain delays was key to his first Davis Cup win as he gave Great Britain a 1-0 lead on day one of their quarter-final with Serbia.
Edmund produced a superbly dominant display as he beat former world number eight Janko Tipsarevic 6-3 6-4 6-0 at the Tasmajdan Stadium, in Belgrade.
"To get us off to a good start was great. Each set I really found my game and I was very pleased with my win," Edmund said.
"We played three games before it rained. I wanted to get the intensity high from the first game back and I managed it when he broke back in the second set.”

Great Britain captain Drew Sullivan admits that competing at the London 2012 Olympic Games is the standout memory of his career after announcing his retirement from international basketball.
The 36-year-old played in 100 of a possible 113 games for Great Britain in the last ten years with 45 of those appearances in either EuroBasket or during the 2012 Olympic Games.
"This was a massively tough decision and something that I went back and forth on, for quite a while," he said.
"I'm going to miss representing my country and wearing the Great Britain vest. I'll miss going out and playing with the guys that I've been with for over a decade.
"Obviously London 2012 is the easy highlight to pick out, but going out and playing with guys who I grew up with, there's nothing like doing that alongside your friends.”
