Rhasidat Adeleke set a season-best time of 22.35 at the Diamond League in London, but it was only good enough for a fifth-place finish in a stacked women’s 200m field.
Adeleke came up shy of her Irish 200m record at the London Diamond League this afternoon, clocking 22.35 to finish fifth in a loaded field.
Adeleke’s Irish record is the 22.34 she ran in Florida in April last year. Drawn in lane eight in London, she was running blind but mixed it well against the world’s best. Running into a gentle headwind of 0.9 metres per second, she came home fifth, with US Olympic favourite Gabby Thomas winning in a meeting record of 21.82 and Adeleke’s training partner Julien Alfred of St Lucia second in a national record of 21.86.
