PARIS, France- Virgin Islands athlete Kyron A. McMaster has secured a place in the Diamond League finals in Brussels on September 6, 2019 with a third place finish in the Men’s 400 Hurdles in Paris today, August 24, 2019.

McMaster, who missed the recent Pan Am Games in Lima, Peru, to allow more time to recover from a slight injury in a Diamond League meet in Switzerland on July 4, 2019 when he pulled up early in the race, ran a Season’s Best 48.33.

The race in Paris was won by Norway’s Karsten Warhom, who clocked a blistering 47.26.

McMaster, running in Lane 8, was pipped to the line for second place by Martinique born Ludvy Vaillant, who competes for France. A fast finishing Vaillant registered a Personal Best 48.30.

Meanwhile, McMaster’s participation saw him move up to 3rd in the qualification table for the Diamond League Finals and is expected to be in Brussels next month for the defence of his title.

McMaster is the defending Diamond League Champion in the 400m Hurdles and also won the title in 2017.

      Let the Government and private companies pump money into the athletes. They will perform a lot better. Keep up the good work athletes

    You people are some ungrateful set. Do you think the athletes are animals or computers you can set to be number all the time. Usain Bolt false started and was still praised by many people. This man got gold not once and now he is third and we start looking down on him. Kyron we love you if you are first or last even if you false start just go back to the drawing board and come again. Keep up the good work for yourself and your fans and country.
