Bermuda's Caitlin Bobb has completed her debut in the Women's 400m at the World Athletics Championships in Tokyo, gaining valuable experience competing against some of the world's top athletes.
Running in Heat 3, Bobb was in a formidable field that included two-time Olympic 400m hurdles champion Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone. The American superstar cruised to victory, winning the heat in 49.41 seconds to easily advance to the semi-finals.
Bobb finished fifth in her heat with a time of 51.72 seconds, missing out on a qualifying spot. Ireland's Sharlene Mawdsley, who finished just ahead of Bobb in fourth with a time of 51.04, advanced to the semi-finals as one of the fastest non-automatic qualifiers.
