esta Carter of Jamaica was the only sprinter to dip below 10 seconds as he won the men's 100 meters at the DN Galan Diamond League meet on Thursday.
Carter clocked 9.96 to beat Keston Bledman of Trinidad and Tobago, who finished in 10.09. Britain's Chijindu Ujah was third in 10.10 on a chilly track in Stockholm. Olympic champion Allyson Felix beat US teammates Tori Bowie and Joanna Atkins to win the women's 200 in 22.85 seconds.
In the upset of the evening, Konstadinos Filippidis of Greece won the men's pole vault after world record holder Renaud Lavillenie of France missed all three attempts at 5.60 m.
'I'm very disappointed,' said Lavillenie, who had been unbeaten in 20 consecutive competitions. 'The conditions were very difficult today with strong wind and cold. When you're waiting more than two hours on the track it's hard to stay warm.'
