But the 25-year-old Bahamian was perfect in her quartet of 200s, including 3 DL wins and was the obvious choice for No. 1.

WORLD CHAMP DINA ASHER-SMITH lost to SMU in both their meetings and faced greatly diminished opposition in Doha with our formcharted 2-3-4-5 runners all missing. The high-end Jamaican pair of Elaine Thompson & Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce and former winner Dafne Schippers all withdrew after running the 100 and Blessing Okagbare was DQed in the first round of the 200. All subsequently earned spots in the Top 10, with Thompson, Schippers and Okagbare rating 3-4-5…
THE OTHER 2 MEDALISTS, American Brittany Brown and Switzerland’s Mujinga Kambundji, could rate no higher than 6-7 based on their full-season records. Brown’s No. 6 is the lowest for the best American since a complete shutout in ’02.
