The 2019 Meeting de Paris was the 25th edition of the annual outdoor track and field meeting in Paris, France. Held on 24 August 2019 at the Stade Sébastien Charléty, it was the twelfth leg of the 2019 IAAF Diamond League – the highest level international track and field circuit. This was the first time the meeting was held on the stadium's renovated blue running track.
Despite no world-leading performances, three meeting records were set at the competition, all in the men's section. American Noah Lyles improved on Usain Bolt's time in the 200 metres with his finish in 19.65 seconds, another American Will Claye had a triple jump of 18.06 m to better Jonathan Edwards's former mark, and New Zealand's Tom Walsh set a new standard in the shot put with 22.44 m (73 ft 7+1⁄4 in). Further to this, two national records were improved during the competition. In the men's 1500 metres, Ronald Musagala gave a fast finish to equal the Ugandan record of 3:30.58 minutes, while in the women's pole vault Alysha Newman set a Canadian record of 4.82 m (15 ft 9+3⁄4 in). These performances by Musagala and Newman were their first career wins on the Diamond League.[1][2]
