American Christian Coleman proved he is this year's king of the sprinters when he set a season's and personal best in the 100 meters on Friday to take the Diamond League title in Brussels.

Following his world record and World Indoor championship victory at 60 meters earlier in 2018, Coleman appeared the winner from the start as he flew out of the blocks and clocked victory in 9.79 seconds.

Compatriot Ronnie Baker, who had set the previous fastest 100 meters of the year nine days ago, was second in 9.93 seconds, with Jamaica's Yohan Blake third a further hundredth of a second back.

Brussels hosted the second part of the Diamond League finals, a day after the first part in Zurich, with all event winners securing $50,000.
