It was the first time that the Luxembourgish athlete participated in such an event.

At an athletics meeting of the Diamond League in Paris, Patrizia van der Weken won the 100 meters race on Sunday. With a time of 11.06 seconds, the Luxembourger was just 0.06 seconds over her Luxembourgish record.

The Luxembourger prevailed over Gina Bass Bittaye from Gambia (+11.09) and Ewa Swoboda from Poland (+11.16).

Ewa Swoboda secured silver at the European Championships in June, where Patrizia van der Weken finished 4th.
