Summary

Danielle Williams came in as the reigning champion but Masai Russell had dominated the season. Her 12.17 in May was the second fastest race in history. She backed that up with a 12.19 win at the Silesia Diamond League meet. Only Tobi Amusan had run faster before winning the 2022 World Championship. #6 Grace Stark and =#7Ackera Nugent were all in this field. In a race where the slightest problem can be the difference, Nugent didn't make it out of the semis.

In the final, Stark and Ditaji Kambundji were out fast, first over the first hurdle. By the third hurdle, Kambundji edged ahead. Amusan edged ahead of Stark over the eighth hurdle. That became the finish order with Russell a full tenth behind as the next competitor. With the 12.24 winning time, Kambundji joined that group at #7 all time and improving her own Swiss national record. [2] [3]
