Double Olympic champion Mo Farah was beaten into second place in the 3,000 metres by Hagos Gebrhiwet at the Diamond League opener in Doha on Friday.
The Ethiopian was cheered on by a number of his countrymen in a large and loud Doha crowd.
In a close race, Farah just failed to take first place despite battling back from fourth as he came into the final bend.
"It's an early start (to the season), but I am a bit disappointed to finish second. It was hard, it was basically a championship race," Farah told reporters.
"Congratulations to Hagos, he did well, but at the same time I don't think I am kind of ready yet."
Farah refused to blame the warm conditions, where temperatures on a balmy night reached 36 degrees celsius (97 farenheit).
Another Olympic champion to be beaten was Australia's Sally Pearson in the Women's 100m hurdles.
She finished fourth, in a race won by American Jasmin Stowers who set a personal best of 12.35 seconds.
Arguably the stand out performance of the night was from Cuba's Pablo Pichardo who reached 18.04m in the triple jump, the third longest ever in the event, as world champion Teddy Tamgho suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon.
