Diamond League: Jakob Ingebrigtsen beats Olympic champion Cole Hocker, Matthew Hudson-Smith and Dina Asher-Smith win

George Molens finished last in the men’s 1500 metres, nine seconds behind Ingebrigtsen, but other British athletes also recorded positive results in Lausanne.

Matthew Hudson-Smith won the men’s 400m with a time of 43.96 seconds.

He was scheduled to face Olympic champion Quincy Hall, but the American decided to withdraw.

Hall beat Hudson-Smith to win gold in the 400 meters at the Paris Games by four hundredths of a second.

Hudson-Smith admitted he is already thinking about the next Olympic Games in Los Angeles in 2028.

He said: “My goal is to win Olympic gold and be mentioned alongside Michael Johnson and Jeremy Wariner. It’s all about consistency, winning and never giving up.

“I want to consistently be among the best ever and consistently run under 44 seconds, and maybe even break the 43 second barrier.”

Dina Asher-Smith won the women’s 100 meters with a time of 10.88 seconds, while her compatriot Daryll Neita finished seventh.

“After the Olympics I took some time to refocus and now I enjoy running, feel fit and have no injuries,” said Asher-Smith.

Asher-Smith returned to the track later in the evening to win the women’s 4x100m relay, partnering Bianca Williams, Desiree Henry and Amy Hunt.

The British quartet finished ahead of the Swiss team in a time of 42.03 seconds.

Elsewhere, winner of a bronze medal in the Olympic 1500m Georgia Bell finished second in the women’s 800 meters, won by Kenyan Mary Moraa in 1 minute, 57.91 seconds.

Her British teammate Jemma Reekie, who missed out on a place in the final of the 800m in Paris, came third.
