American Kenneth Bednarek edged out Canadian André De Grasse by one hundredth of a second in a scintillating 200 metres race at Friday's Doha Diamond League meeting on a night when Kenyans dominated the middle-distance competitions.

De Grasse saw the race as a step in the right direction."I'll try to do better in the next one, and I am happy Tokyo ," he said. Australia's second-placed Stewart McSweyn ran a season's best 3:31.57, with Morocco's Soufiane El Bakkali coming home third with a personal best time of 3:31.95. In the women's 800m, Kenya's Faith Kipyegon nudged through on the inside to secure an impressive win with a time of 1:58.26 for the 1,500m Olympic champion and world silver medallist.
