Rhasidat Adeleke gets third at Diamond League final after Eid Naser disqualified

Dubliner crossed the line in a time of 50.96 to end her outdoor season on a high.

RHASIDAT ADELEKE BENEFITTED from a disqualification for Salwa Eid Naser as she took third place in the 400m Diamond League final in Brussels.

The Dubliner crossed the line in a time of 50.96, and while it was originally only enough for another fourth spot, Eid Naser was later penalised for a lane infringement.

Adeleke was once again in action against her Olympic rivals from earlier this summer and, like in Paris, Marileidy Paulino took first place after her 49.45.

Eid Naser had crossed the line in second, only to be DQd, meaning Alexis Holmes’ time of 50.32 saw her edge out Adeleke in third.

    An ok run, Adeleke looked tired. Didnt do her usual first fast 200m. On to a good rest now then a good winters training and hopefully come back stronger next year. Solid season overall for a young developing athlete.

    @Andrew Clavin: what nonsense are you talking. Of course she’ll be faster with the right mindset and right coach. Paulina was a 51sec 400 m runner at 22, now she’s well under 48sec. Kaczmerak, didn’t break 51 secs when she was 22, now also sub 48.
    Adeleke is on the verge of breaking 49 secs.
    Average athlete? She’s already above average.

    Rhasidat doesn’t seem to finish well. Dropped off at the end like at the Olympics.

    @Stephen Foster: not in the same league. 1.5 seconds off the leader!

    @Desmond Lyons: Nobody’s in the same league as Paulino. Even the American runner Holmes with chronic asthma and seven TUEs can’t get close to her.

    She might be given the Olympic bronze yet, that Eid Naser is a pure cod, I’d say she’s off her head on the aul dope

    Adeleke only aged 22, when most of the best athletes at her event mature and are faster around the age of 28! Watch this space!!
