Australian high jump star Nicola Olyslagers claimed gold at the prestigious Zurich Weltklase meeting, returning to her world champion best form.

Olyslagers' victory came on a night of spectacular performances at the Diamond League meeting, where two world records were shattered. Brazil's Alison dos Santos broke the five-year-old men's 400m hurdles record with a time of 45.94 seconds.

American Masai Russell also made history, clocking 12.09 seconds in the women's 100m hurdles to eclipse the previous mark of 12.12. Meanwhile, Cam Myers impressed again with a third-place finish in the men's 3000m event. toffler.lol
