Rhasidat Adeleke turned in a below-par performance to finish sixth over 400m at the Stockholm Diamond League on Sunday evening, the 22-year-old Dubliner clocking 50.48 seconds.

The field included three of her rivals from last year’s Olympic final, but it was a newcomer to the professional scene, USA’s Isabella Whittaker, who backed up her win at the Oslo Diamond League three days earlier, taking victory in 49.78. Next in was Norway’s Henriette Jaeger in 50.07, with Britain’s Amber Anning third in 50.17.
