  • Marileidy Paulino will race for the women’s 400-meter Diamond League title at Brussels’ King Baudouin Stadium.
  • The Dominican athlete is seeking her fourth crown after winning three consecutive titles from 2022 through 2024.
  • Paulino finished second in 2025 but has run the distance under 49 seconds five times this season.

Marileidy Paulino will go after a fourth Diamond League crown this afternoon in Brussels, returning to the 400 meters as the clear favorite.

The final is scheduled for 2:04 p.m. Dominican time, or 8:04 p.m. in Brussels, at the King Baudouin Stadium, a venue dating to 1930. Anyone hoping to take first place from the Dominican multiple medalist will likely need to run in just over 48 seconds and no slower than 49 seconds.

Paulino won the title three years in a row, in 2022, 2023 and 2024. She finished runner-up in 2025, when Bahrain’s Salwa Eid Naser beat her with a time of 48.70 seconds to Paulino’s 49.23.

That setback has not changed the wider picture presented by Diario Libre. Paulino has run under 49 seconds five times this season and remains the dominant figure in the full lap. Since 2022, she has continued to arrive at the event as the leading favorite.
