American duo Gabby Thomas and Noah Lyles took impressive 200 metres victories and two men posted monster, wind-assisted 90 metre javelin throws as the Diamond League season got underway on a lively night in front of a noisy crowd in Doha on Friday.

"I perform better under pressure, the crowd makes me excited," Lyles said."Actually, I feel good and satisfied about my position right now." The men's pole vault was cancelled after a handful of attempts as organisers decided the high winds made it too dangerous. They also switched ends for the javelin throwers and Tokyo silver medallist Jakub Vadlejch quickly took advantage of the wind with a throw of 89.87 metres, beating his five-year old personal best.
