Diamond League Standings after Brussels 2025: Kishane Thompson and Noah Lyles superseded by South African athlete

Noah Lyles and Kishane Thompson have made it to the finals of the Wanda Diamond League, which will be held in Zurich between August 27 and August 28. However, to everyone's surprise, a South African sprinter beat them in the race to finish at the top of the standings.

According to the standings after the Brussels leg of the Diamond League, Akani Simbine of South Africa has topped the table, with a total of 35 points from at least six appearances, including the Lausanne Diamond League, where he finished fourth overall.

While Kishane Thompson finished second with a total of 23 points, Noah Lyles finished third with a total of 21 points. However, the Olympic champion sprinter has nothing to lose, since his main target is the upcoming World Championships, which will be held in Tokyo in September.

In the women's 100m event, reigning Olympic champion from St. Lucia, Julien Alfred, is leading the scoreboard with a total of 31 points. Interestingly, Melissa Jefferson-Wooden from the USA, who has won the last three meets, including the Brussels leg of the Wanda Diamond League, finished fourth with a total of 24 points. Her teammate Sha'Carri Richardson couldn't make it to the finals despite finishing a respectable second at the Brussels meet, due to her total being a mere 10 points, which places her in the 10th position.

Here is the list of current standings ahead of the Wanda Diamond League finals, featuring athletes like Noah Lyles, Akani Simbine, Kishane Thompson, etc.
