"I felt good," Muhammad said. "I just wanted to go out there and have a clean race and bring it home."

Parchment, the reigning Olympic 110m hurdles champion from Jamaica, won the event in 13.47 with American Jamal Britt second in 13.53 and Barbados Olympian Shane Braithwaite third in 13.69.

"Technically not so great but I came through injury free so that's the most important thing," Parchment said.

In the men's 400 hurdles, Brazilian Alison Dos Santos, third last year at the Tokyo Olympics, won in 48.41, second-best time in the world this year and 1.02 ahead of American runner-up David Kendziera.

"I liked this race," Dos Santos said. "I trained so nice and prepared to run my best. I'm happy with this result."
