She is of course Irish. It takes a certain type of narrow mind to think otherwise. She will be a fantastic representative for the country and for the new modern Ireland.
Rhasidat has ran faster than Sydney this year and looks like she could have gone faster . A rested Brit Wilson and Paulinho are the 2 to beat but if got any medal even bronze it would be unreal as no sprinter has ever made it to a final never mind be hoping for a bronze 🙏 the fact she had energy after the 49.2 it looked easy and the fact she’s new to 400 still and improves almost every race and the fact she was originally a sprinter 100m specialist I think she has everything for greatness if she trains hard and her height/ stride pattern all she needs is strength and experience and she can beat them all I think. Budapest will be exciting to watch and Paris next year .
Born & raised in Ireland, so yes it is great to have a World class Irish runner again. Of course to Spike & his race relations board she’s the wrong skin colour to be considered Irish in his tiny little brain, but then I’m sure he was confused when Michael Johnson won all those Gold medals for the USA & not for an African nation. I was born & raised in Ireland Spike, but I have Norman Ancestry dating back to the 11th century - does that make me French?
@@69skobie43 Don't try and sound intelligent mate when you haven't a clue what you are talking about "wrong skin colour" more like wrong race. Irish is a Ethnic group who is genetically white/Caucasian the Irish genetic foundation is the very embodiment of being Irish that's how identity is formed dipshit through common relation such as culture, history, genetics etc but the woke brain you obviously have wouldn't be able to comprehend that. American Identity was formly created by Europeans who are guess what? "White" michael johnson wouldn't even be considered American even when the very American identity is a complexity in itself and totally not even in compassion to Ireland and the Irish identity. So she ain't Irish and it's insulting to us Irish for you to say such things but again it's OK if its done to white countries due to the anti white rhetoric nowadays you'd fair have a meltdown of it was a white person doing it to an Asian or Black Country you hypocritic.
@@Alann1994 That's doesn't make you Irish mate, again if it's hard to understand for some folk Irish is a native ethnic group who is genetically and biological white/Caucasian who shared a common history, culture and genetics.
Hopefully she does well.I also hope that the media don't force her down our throats so we all get sick to death of her (they tend to do that with most successful Irish sports people) or over hype her so it feels like a massive failure if she doesn't win every gold medal going.
Look at it this way. The best sprinters in the world are almost all West African genetically. This includes all the American greats from Carl Lewis, Maurice Greene Sha'carri Richardson, the Jamaicans Bolt, Fraser-Pryce, Elaine Thompson, the British Linford Christie, Asher-Smith.......etc. However, West African sprinting is abysmal. Nigeria for instance has only ever won an single individual medal gold in its Onlympic history in long jump (Chioma Ojunwa Atlanta 1996) despite a population now of 200 million people. If Rashidat had been born in Nigeria, the chances of her becoming a world class sprinter is zero .Nigeria has no history, culture infrastructure, organised talent sporting programmes or system that develops top sprinters. So countries that do well in sprinting are those that successfully nurture, support and develop the genetic sprinting gifts of the population in their country with West African genetics. So Ireland is no different from America, Jamaica, Canada and the UK in this respect. Like these countries, West Africa provided the genetics and Ireland honed, nurtured, supported and developed the talent. Hence Rashidat is Ireland's and not Nigeria/West Africa's to claim. And i say this as a Nigerian.
Ah, there you are again. You do realise that no matter how many times you say this under all her videos it's still categorically, verifiably, undeniably false, yes? : )))
@usandusonly32 born in ireland lived her whole life in ireland and has a irish accent and represents her home country which is ireland go and cry ya clown 🤡
Adeleke is a superstar in the making! She's already one of the best 400m runners in the world, and she hasn't run the 400m that long.
She's a credit to her country : nigeria

Yup that’s a good point. Media builds them up to tear them down
Sounds like you're worrying over nothing. There are much more serious problems in the world right now
Adeleke vs Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone in 2024 will be epic!
Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone switched to the 400 flat. Couldn't be worse timing for Rhasidat. But to be the best you got to beat the best.
1 - Sydney probably won't switch until after Paris.
2 - Rhasidat is younger and faster than Sydney with way less experience in the event.
Rhasidat is much better at 400 IMO
