In August 2026, Dominican sprinter Marileidy Paulino was involved in an incident during a women’s 400-metre final in Santo Domingo when a plastic bottle was thrown from the stands onto the track. While the object passed near Paulino and Roxana Gómez without causing a fall, commentators described the event as an “international shame.” The Dominican Sports Minister stated that the responsible individual was detained to face sanctions. Following this incident, Paulino continued her competitive season, securing a victory in the 400 metres at the Diamond League event in Silesia, Poland. Clocking a time of 48.87 seconds, she maintained her undefeated streak for the 2026 season and became the first woman to record four consecutive runs under 49 seconds. This performance marks her fifth victory of the 2026 Diamond League season, following wins in Doha, Paris, Monaco, and London. At the Diamond League final in Brussels, Belgium, Paulino secured her fourth Diamond League title, reclaiming the championship she lost in 2025. She set a new Diamond League record in the 400m with a time of 48.64 seconds, finishing 0.56 seconds ahead of Norway’s Henriette Jæger. ~~This victory concludes an undefeated 2026 Diamond League circuit and serves as a precursor to~~ Paulino has officially confirmed her participation in the ~~inaugural~~ 400 metres at the World Athletics Ultimate Championship in Budapest, Hungary, scheduled for September ~~11 to 13.~~ 11–13, 2026.
