Barbadian quarter-miler Sada Williams secured a stunning third-place finish in the final of the women’s 400-metres at the Diamond League in Zurich, Switzerland.
The 23-year-old clocked 50.24 seconds to claim a podium spot and beat Jamaican Stephanie Ann McPherson (50.25) on the line.
Quanera Haynes of the United States won the race in 49.88 seconds ahead of Tokyo 2020 silver medallist Marileidy Paulino (49.96)
It sums up an impressive season for Williams who finished second in Paris and Lausanne two weeks ago.
She added to a remarkable run of form from the Tokyo 2020 Olympics where she established a new national record of 50.11 seconds in the semi-finals.
The time, which was the fastest ever to not make the final, erased the 51.04 set by Lorna Forde in 1978. (AGB)
