THERE WAS MORE success for Ireland at the European U18s Championships on Saturday evening, as Rhasidat Adeleke secured a gold medal in the 200m final.
The 15-year-old stormed to a resounding 23.53 victory in Hungary, shedding tears afterwards following her success.
“I can’t believe it,” the teenager said. “It’s just so surreal, I just tried my best to keep my form, because I know when I’m under pressure I start to lose my form and slow down.
“You have to really get a good bend and then you just drive on and keep going on the straight.”
The Dubliner’s success was Ireland’s fourth medal at the European Championships.
Sarah Healy claimed gold in yesterday’s 3000m, adding to Gina Akpe-Moses’ silver in the 100m and Molly Scott’s bronze in the 100m hurdles two years ago.

How much would a ticket set you back? When they are released!
I heard they are like 50’000 ringside! For an event like this expect to pay through the roof even if you’re sitting close to it.
New York is so big and has so much going on there are vast people who wouldn’t know this fight is on, election or no election.
