Seamus Derbyshire Becomes Fifth-Fastest British 400m Hurdler with Personal Best

Posted : 06 June 2025

Seamus Derbyshire described his achievement of becoming the fifth-fastest British man ever in the 400m hurdles as “mind-boggling” after clocking an impressive 48.47 seconds at a recent meet in Prague.

 

 The 25-year-old not only shattered his personal best by nearly a full second but also met the qualifying standard for this year’s World Championships in Tokyo. His breakthrough performance marked a significant milestone in his career and placed him among the elite British hurdlers.

 

The British record for the 400m hurdles is held by Kriss Akabusi, who ran 47.82 seconds at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, a benchmark that continues to inspire athletes like Derbyshire.

 

Reflecting on his run, Derbyshire said improving by 0.8 seconds was an extraordinary leap rarely experienced by athletes, leaving him momentarily stunned by the result. His reaction highlighted the rarity and significance of such a personal achievement in competitive athletics.

 

Derbyshire’s performance in Prague signals his rising status on the international stage and sets high expectations for his upcoming competitions.

 

Qualifying for the World Championships adds a new level of excitement and challenge as he prepares to compete against the world’s best hurdlers. His journey reflects dedication and rapid progress, hinting at even greater potential in the future.
