Cynthia Bolingo stormed past a talented field to win the 400m at the Diamond League meeting in Brussels on Friday. Candice McLeod was among those who she zipped past down the home stretch, the Jamaican finishing in fifth in 50.82.
Lieke Klaver of the Netherlands and Shamier Little of the USA, as well as McLeod, battled for the lead over the first 300m with the American taking the lead coming off the curve into the home straight. She seemed headed for victory before Bolingo unleashed a stirring run to take victory in 50.02.
Klaver managed to edge ahead of Little to take second place in 50.16 with the American fading to third in 50.58.
Great Britain’s Victoria Ohurugou managed to out-lean McLeod at the line to take fourth in 50.81.
