Rhasidat Adeleke speaks after smashing the Irish 100m record
With a performance of pure poise, peerless speed and unstoppable power, Rhasidat Adeleke smashed the Irish 100m record to take gold at the 123.ie National Track and Field Championships in Santry today, the 21-year-old Dubliner clocking 11.13 (+0.7m/s) to defeat Sarah Lavin of Emerald AC (11.37).
Adeleke’s time obliterated the previous record of 11.27, set by Lavin in Switzerland last year, and it means the Tallaght sprinter now holds every Irish sprint record, indoors and outdoors, from 60m to 400m.
It was her last race on Irish soil ahead of the Paris Olympics, with Adeleke completing a short training camp in Sweden this week before races in Monaco and London.

First time seeing her. Great running form and she looks young so might even get below 11 sec in the future.
Way to goo
How longs the record standing since the 1950?
I’m shocked the scum media left the comments open.
Great what s great athlete good luck to her
Ironic to see the Irish becoming like the same English that saw them as lesser then 50years 😂.
What was the time???
Yikes, the ppl in these comments are having an identity crisis due to their own mediocrity. Well Rhasidat, if Ireland doesn’t want you come run for Canada. We’d be glad to have you 🤣
