Adeleke finished ahead of Gabby Thomas, another US star who won bronze in the event at the Tokyo Olympics and silver at last year’s World Championships.Jamie Costin was 27, in the shape of his life, ready for the Olympics.
McLaughlin-Levrone was running only her second race of the season, the world record-shattering Olympic and 2022 World gold medallist in the 400m hurdles also moving down a distance. However, her coach Bobby Kersee confirmed this week the plan was for the 400m hurdles only for at next month’s US trials in Eugene, Oregon, this ruling out the flat one-lap double.
Earlier on Saturday, Sharlene Mawdsley joined Adeleke with an automatic qualifying time for the 400m, the Tipperary athlete improving her best from 51.09 to 50.72 when winning at the Memoriał Janusza Kusocińskiego meeting in Chorzow, Poland.
