Let $M$ be an $n$-dimensional Riemannian manifold with sectional curvature lower bound 1. Fix a point say $O\in M$, let $S(r)$ denote the distance sphere centered at $O$ with radius $r$. The classical Hessian comparison theorem says that the principle curvatures of $S(r)$ is less than that of standard sphere ${S}^n(1)$. And Toponogov triangle comparison implies that given any two point in $S(r)$ there distance in $M$ is less than or equal to the correspond distance in round sphere with the same openning angle at $O$.
So is there any way to see how the intrinsic diameter (i.e. the length metric induced from ambient metric) upper bound?
How about the Ricci curvature case?
