Churandy Martina heeft dit seizoen een abonnement op de tweede plek tijdens de Diamond League. Na New York en Londen legde hij ook in Monaco beslag op de tweede plek op de 200m. Martina moest vanavond alleen Nickel Ashmeade voor zich dulden. De Amerikaan noteerde een tijd van 20.02, Martina volgde op 0.05s. De derde plek was weer voor een Amerikaan. Wallace Spearmon finishte in een tijd van 20.09.

Nederlandse estafetteploeg
De Nederlandse damesestafetteploeg, die in Helsinki nog zilver pakte, wist vandaag de finish niet te halen. De wedstrijd werd gewonnen door het blauwe team van de Verenigde Staten in een tijd van 42.24.

Verder waren het voornamelijk de prestaties van Aries Merritt, de Amerikaanse estafettemannen en Asbel Kiprop op. Merritt gaf nog maar eens zijn visitekaartje af voor de olympische titel door de 110m horden te winnen in een tijd van 12.93, een evenaring van de door hemzelf gelopen beste tijd van het seizoen.

Op de estafette waren het de Amerikanen Trell Kimmons, Tyson Gay, Justin Gatlin en Ryan Bailey die wonnen in een scherpe tijd van 37.61. Zij verbeterden daarmee de beste tijd van het seizoen die tot nu toe op naam stond van Jamaica met een tijd van 37.82.

Kiprop, vijfde loper ooit
Op de 1.500m was het de Keniaan Asbel Kiprop die de beste tijd van het seizoen neerzette. Sterker nog, slechts vier atleten waren ooit sneller. Hij finishte in een tijd van 3:28.88.
