MADRID, Spain, CMC – Neither Adelle Tracey nor her Jamaican compatriot Danniel Thomas-Dodd had a podium finish at Tuesday’s World Athletics Indoor Tour Gold meet.
Tracey, 29, a semi-finalist at last year’s World Championships, finished fourth with a time of two minutes, 02.16 seconds in the women’s 800 meters at the Gallur Municipal Sports Complex.
Noélie Yarigo, the Benin national record holder, lived up to expectations and proved she still had something in the tank at age 37 when she clocked 2 mins, 01.47 secs to win.
Catriona Bisset of Australia was runner-up, 0.27 secs slower than Yarigo, and Winnie Nanyando of Uganda finished third in 2:02.02.
2018 Commonwealth Games champion Thomas-Dodd, 30, had a distance of 18.84 meters in the women’s shot putt.
The indoor and outdoor world championship silver medallist and her fellow competitors were no match for Sarah Mitton of Canada, whose measurement of 19.76m gave her a morale-boosting win this season. However, she was four centimeters short of her season best.
World champion Chase Ealey of the United States failed to clear 20 meters for a second time this season, and she was second with a distance of 19.64. European champion and world indoor and outdoor bronze medallist, Jessica Schilder of the Netherlands, came third with a measurement of 19.25.
