Rhasidat Adeleke rips up track to break Irish 400m indoor record of ... (The Irish Times)

Twenty-year-old Dubliner finishes in fastest time in the world for this year.

The win there went to Britain’s Neil Gourley in 3:52.94 Roisin Flanagan improved her best to 8:53.50 in 10th place. Still, Adeleke’s time is again ground-breaking in Irish athletics, and her deft move to the front at the bell was perfectly executed. On the same track, last month, she also broke her own Irish 200m indoor record with a world-leading time of 22.52. It’s also the third fastest in American collegiate history. A four-time European medal winner, two indoors and two out, English is on course to challenge for a medal again at the European Indoor Championships in Istanbul the first weekend in March.

Adeleke stuns with indoor record, English shows medal ambition (Irish Examiner)

That obliterated the Irish indoor 400m record of 51.58, which had stood to Karen Shinkins since 2022, and was even quicker than Adeleke's national outdoor ...

In the men’s 3000m, Brian Fay and Darragh McElhinney put in a bold showing for the Irish, coming home sixth and seventh respectively in 7:43.85 and 7:45.79, with Fay overtaking Eamonn Coghlan to move third on the Irish indoor all-time list. “I didn’t get out as hard as I wanted and once I got to the front I was tripped, but indoor racing is such a tactical game. It is the latest blazing performance in an astonishing start to the season for Adeleke, who last month smashed the Irish indoor 200m record with 22.52 in Albuquerque. “I knew coming in today it was going to be hit and miss,” she said. Mageean revealed she had just returned to training after missing several weeks during the winter due to a tear in her peroneal tendon. It was the third quickest time in the history of the NCAA; the fastest time in the world this year; and it’s quicker than the winning times in all but three (out of 18) editions of the World Indoor Championships.
