Jamaican double Olympic champion Elaine Thompson-Herah has pulled out of Saturday’s 100m assembly with Britain’s Dina Asher-Smith in Birmingham.
Organisers stated the 29-year-old withdrew “out of an abundance of warning after she skilled some discomfort in coaching”.
Despite the absence of Thompson-Herah – the second quickest girl in historical past – there stays a robust discipline.
Olympic bronze winner Shericka Jackson and American Gabby Thomas will compete.
Asher-Smith, the world 200m champion, finished third behind Thomas and Jackson over the longer distance in final week’s Diamond League opener in Doha.
American collegiate champion Cambrea Sturgis has the quickest time of any of the sphere over 100m this 12 months after clocking 10.87 seconds final month.
