Two top Jamaican athletes, Kishane Thompson and Shericka Jackson, withdrew from the Lausanne Diamond League just a few days before the start of the competition. Notably, both Thompson and Jackson tasted victory at their last Diamond League outing in Silesia, which took place last week.

Thompson won the 100m race against Noah Lyles and Kenny Bednarek in Silsia and also set a new meet record of 9.87 seconds. This was Thompson's second Diamond League victory after his victory at the Prefontaine Classic last month. Thompson and Lyles were also set to lead the 100m proceedings in Lausanne, but a slight shin injury forced the Jamaican to withdraw from the competition.

Notably, on the other hand, Jackson won the 200m race at Silesia, which was also her second Diamond League victory in the 2025 season after the Rabat event in May, when she won the 100m event. In Silesia, she clocked a season-best run time of 22.17 seconds to win the race and defeat the likes of Brittany Brown, Amy Hunt and Daryll Neita.

However, after this impressive performance, Jackson will not be featuring at the Lausanne Diamond League as she sets her eyes on the upcoming important meets such as the World Championships next month.
