To commemorate this year’s BHM campaign, we would like to shout out three Black-Irish stars.
Rhasidat Adeleke:
Rhasidat has been active in all manner of sports from an early age, including Gaelic football, camogie, volleyball, badminton, and basketball. Standing 6ft tall, it's no surprise that she excelled at basketball, but ultimately, she decided to focus on athletics.
Adeleke holds the Irish national records in the 100m, 200m and 400m outdoor events, as well as the 60m, 200m and 400m indoor events. With her 400m Irish record of 49.07 seconds, she became the first Irish athlete to break the 50 second barrier for the 400m.
Earlier this year, the young athlete won silver at the European Championships and gold in the 4x400 mixed relay. She also bagged bronze in the 4x400 World Relay Championships this year.
