Cathal Dennehy

Rhasidat Adeleke has gained much from these European Championships. A mixed relay gold medal. A 400m silver. A national record.

Her blazing speed, her unbridled brilliance, has also edged her into that rarefied air of being on first-name terms with the Irish public. That of Sonia and Catherina, Kellie and Katie. And tonight, in the women’s 4x400m final, she��ll likely bag a third medal, possibly gold.
