It was her 34th career win against just one loss since the Rio Olympics of 2016, a tournament from which she was barred along with the entire Russian track and field team in the fall-out from the country's state-sponsored doping scandal. The 24-year-old's win came just three days afer she called on officials implicated in the ongoing controversy at home to reform or quit.

"All of these people think that athletes don't see or understand anything, and their business is only to jump and keep quiet," Lasitskene wrote in an unusually exasperated Instagram post. "I hope that people implicated in this never-ending shame spectacle find the courage to quit." American 19-year-old teenager Sydney McLaughlin won the women's 400m hurdles in 54.16 with Olympic champion Dalilah Muhammad in second in 54.35. World championship silver medallist Shamier Little, also of the United States, was third in 54.92.
