Paulino had to pick up the pace in the final 150 meters to win the race and recorded his best time so far this year with a time of 49.30 seconds.

“I felt good tonight (yesterday afternoon in the Dominican Republic), I thought the weather conditions were going to be bad, but it turned out well.”

In the final meters of the race, Marileidy felt the siege of Polish runner Natalia Kaczmarek, who finished second, just 50 tenths of a second behind the Dominican.

Mariileidy said she was pleased with the results but noted she had to make some adjustments.
“I want to improve the second part of my career,” he said.

Hard Bones

Poland’s Kaczmarek was always aware that to achieve that goal she would have to surpass Mariileidy, but at the same time she faced a personal challenge to run under 50 seconds.

“I knew I had to catch Paulino up front, but I felt good,” Kaczmarek said at the end of the race. She was happy with the score, but not quite satisfied: “I was under 50 seconds, but even so, I didn’t do well.”
