RHASIDAT Adeleke is set to run the 200 metres at the London Diamond League this Saturday – just days after her late withdrawal from competing in Monaco.
The European 400 metres silver medalist will drop down the distance to race over a half lap against Olympic silver medalist Julien Alfred and training partner Dina Asher-Smith.
Adeleke was due to compete in the Monaco Diamond League last Friday but withdrew though no reason was given for the decision.
But it came after her fourth place finish at the Diamond League in Eugene when she ran 51.33 seconds – her slowest 400 metres of the year and two seconds outside her national record.
European Indoor 3000 metre champion Sarah Healy is also in action in London as she competes in the mile along with Sophie O’Sullivan.
But they face stiff competition from Dutch superstar Sifan Hasan and Olympic silver medalist Jessica Hull.
And Mark English is running in the 800 metres as he looks to continue his good form that saw him go under 1 minute 44 seconds for the first time last month.
But he is a top field that also includes six of the eight finalists at last year’s Paris Olympics, including gold medalist Emmanuel Wanyoni.
