After a successful outing in Monaco, the Diamond League season 2022 headed to Lausanne, Switzerland. Athletes traveled to the Swiss city for the 12th stop of the Diamond League season.

Entering the business end of the season, Lausanne Diamond League action began on Thursday, 25 August. The competition began with a pole vault city event where Armand Duplantis emerged victorious. The rest of the event was held on Friday, August 26, 2022, at the La Pontaise Olympic Stadium.

The women’s 100 meters was a major highlight of the penultimate stage of the Diamond League 2022. Five-time world champion Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce was forced to back out with an injury. With three-time Olympic champion Elaine Thompson-Herah disqualified for a false start, it was American sprinter Aleia Hobbs who took the victory, clocking a time of 10:87, ahead of Jamaica’s Shericka Jackson (10:88).
