Sada Williams created history this evening, becoming the first Barbadian athlete to win two world championship medals.

Williams followed up last year’s bronze medal performance in the Women’s 400 Metres in Eugene, Oregon, United States, with another third-place performance this evening in Budapest, Hungary. She stopped the clock in 49.60 seconds for back-to-back podium finishes. She finished behind the winner Marileidy Paulino of the Dominican Republic in 48.76, And Natalia Kaczmarek of Poland in 49.57.

CBC’s Stacey Russell watched the race with Sada’s proud mother Shernel along with other family members, and filed this report.
