Neither Adelle Tracey nor her Jamaican compatriot Danniel Thomas-Dodd had a podium finish at the World Athletics Indoor Tour Gold meet on Tuesday.
Adelle 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 metres 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 two minutes, 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 metres in the women’s shot put.
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, though she was four centimetres short of her season best.
World champion Chase Ealey of the United States failed to clear 20 metres for a second time this season, and she was second with a distance of 19.64, and European champion and world indoor and outdoor bronze medallist Jessica Schilder of the Netherlands was third with a measurement of 19.25.
