Jamaican Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce runs fourth-fastest women's 100m ever
The five-time world 100m champion, 35, bettered her mark for the fastest 100m of the year, clocking 10.66 seconds in Poland on Saturday.
She has now run the third and fourth-fastest women's 100m times.
Fellow world champion Jake Wightman of Britain won the 1,000m with the fastest time this year.
Fraser-Pryce's fellow Jamaican Shericka Jackson came second in Monaco with a personal best of 10.71 seconds, while Marie-Josee Ta Lou of Ivory Coast set an African record in third, and Britain's Daryll Neita finished sixth.
"I did what I needed to, and we had fun and let the clock do the talking. To be able to run 10.60 consistently means a lot. It's remarkable. It's hard to keep up the speed at this high level," said Fraser-Pryce.
"I'm in my late thirties, and I have more to give. I look forward to doing my personal best [10.60 runs in August 2021] during the rest of the season."
It was a third sub-10.70 run within a week for Fraser-Pryce, who missed the Commonwealth Games, as all seven starters went below 11 seconds.
She becomes the first woman in history to break 10.70 six times in the same season, having also won a record fifth women's 100m world title last month in Oregon.
