She's an excellent athlete and I'm delighted she is representing Ireland. To say she is going to be Irelands greatest ever sports star is a bit premature.
@@timmurphy5736 There's a long list of sports personalities that can claim Irelands greatest. Katie Taylor for one. Then you got a few rugby, soccer players, jockeys. Maybe not so much GAA players as they don't play on the world stage. Either way she is young and has an exciting career ahead of her and I wish her the best and I do hope she becomes one of our greatest athletes.
@@cathalodiubhain5739there's no indication that she won't be up there with O'Sullivan, Taylor, Keane, McGrath, and O'Callaghan as one of our greatest ever sportspeople.
Rhasidat just took Ireland to a World Bronze in the mixed 4x400 - "Adeleke’s split time of 48.45 seconds was the fastest ever recorded at the World Relays" - so yeah, Derval's assessment is holding up well so far!
@@Backpfeifengesicht45 no she is not , its that tallaght is being slowly turned into africa and pakistan and every other country , and is slowly no longer Ireland

Nobody cares about athletics, but you've been in watching Adeleke videos ad nauseum. You can't get enough of them. Been watching her interviews and you've been in every single comment thread. You clearly care.
She's amazing, humble and confident too. Represents herself and Ireland so well

The usual newstalk hyperbole.
@@johnmc3862 She ran a 49:20 yesterday in a major final. No hyperbole here pal.

She is not Irish

Why not get excited about an exciting talent? Nevermind the negative stuff
OTB tempering expectations again I see
She's proven herself ad nauseum. There's nothing to stop her being up there with Taylor, O'Sullivan, Keane and McGrath as our greatest.
@pioanthony1240 unless Tallaght is some kind of San Marino-esque microstate, I think you'll find she is.

@@Backpfeifengesicht45 if i move to Africa does that make me African ?
@@Backpfeifengesicht45 Missing the point. Newstalk hypes things to levels before unseen.
Good luck to her in the olympics what a talent ☘️☘️☘️
What are her times like in terms of European or Ollympic winning standards at present?
look it up
Its a bit early for Olympics standard but for her age she's right up there.
Just won a national collegiate final in 49.20, 20th fastest time ever in the world.
special ...thats all

Shane has no shame. Treated kellie horribly. A gutter sports journalist
Very arrogant headline.
You'd know a woman made that statement
Taking opportunity away from the natives
Name one.
What an attitude to have!!

You would?
She's an African
Where in Africa is Tallaght.

Pathetic!
Projection.

You clearly care.
They don't though. What use is being really fast unless we are living in the wild?
@@seanpadraigobrien1260 why are you never off her videos if you don't care?
