Kishane Thompson, the fastest man in the 100m this year and a favourite for next month’s world championships, will miss the Diamond League meet in Lausanne on Wednesday with a shin injury.

“Kishane Thompson will not compete in the men’s 100m,” organisers said in a statement on Monday. The Jamaican sprinter has been suffering from “shin discomfort” since beating Olympic champion Noah Lyles last weekend in Poland. Thompson timed a joint meet record of 9.87sec for victory, with Lyles second in 9.90sec. That was their first meeting since Lyles won Olympic gold by just five-thousandths of a second in Paris last year.
