IrelandRhasidat Adeleke, an Irish sprinter recovering from injuries that ended her 2025 season, faced challenges during her return in the 400 meters at the Pre Classic in Eugene, Oregon. She finished ninth with a time of 52.26 seconds, significantly slower than her Irish record and well below the required standard for the upcoming European Championships. Despite starting strong, Adeleke struggled in the final stretch, trailing behind competitors like Dejanea Oakley, who won with a time of 49.64 seconds. Oakley, trained by Adeleke’s coach, showed impressive form, while Aaliyah Butler and Stacey Ann Williams also performed strongly. Adeleke aims to improve ahead of her next race at the Monaco Diamond League, where she hopes to regain her previous form and meet the European Championship qualification standards.
