US sprint star Christian Coleman took first place in his 100-metre debut after returning from a ban for breaching anti-doping rules, clocking a "pretty decent" 10.09sec in Tokyo on Sunday. On Sunday the 26-year-old finally hit the track in Japan's National Stadium for his first 100m this season -- an experience that left him feeling "pretty good" overall.

American athletes dominated the main events on Sunday, including Rai Benjamin, who took silver in the 400m hurdles at last year's Olympics with a blistering time of 46.17sec.
