I had Adeleke at 22.4/49.8-49.9 later in the season and she's already run 22.34/49.90 NRs in mid-April!

​@@Podonnchadha-cr7nn I'm not a fan of Tallaght myself, but even I wouldn't argue that it's not in Ireland.

@@Podonnchadha-cr7nn Are you? I hope not.

@@vincentmcdermott3412 yes but you are not you racist englishman, mcdermott is an english name, o'donnchadha is a Gaelic name, mind your own business you racist englishman, besides why are you stealing africas glory

We shall watch her future with great interest!

no such thing as african irish, Irish are white.

Absolutely. 100% Irish legend in the making.

@@Podonnchadha-cr7nn Is Leo Varadker Irish then? What about Sean Lemeas (a huguenot name)? Eamonn DeValera? Paul McGrath? Phil Lynott??

@@vincentmcdermott3412 All Irish and Ireland is better for them!

@@vincentmcdermott3412 no, yes, no, no, no. Strictly speaking all of those people have at least one Irish parent, notably their mothers in most cases. McGrath being the notable exception and is not an Irish person. However, that is not to say he's not a valid citizen of Ireland and Irish by nationality. His ethnicity isn't though.

​@@Podonnchadha-cr7nn yes she is

Absolutely! Thanks for watching Jim!

Unfortunately, not every great junior athlete transitions well to the senior ranks (Mark Lewis Francis being another great example). Injuries of course play a major role, but at least Jodie has now transformed herself in her late 20s into a sub 50s 400m runner that can make Global Finals. If she can stay healthy, there's no reason why she can't make the next 3 Global 400m Finals!

I knew she’d made the finals. I didn’t know she’d a personal best now in the 400 metres of 49.97 seconds. I thought she was still in the 51 seconds range.

​@@adegbenroagoro5180 Yeah she's improved enormously having only started running the event full-time at the start of 2021 which ended with her running 49.97 in both the Olympic Semi & Final! She's still a little injury prone though otherwise I'd be more confident in her @#6 on the British all-time challenging the times of both #5 Donna Fraser (49.79) & #4 Nicola Sanders (49.65), but she can't stay fit long enough to do so!

@@AllInTheGame01 Reminds me of Laura Robson. The tennis player.

@@adegbenroagoro5180 Yup!

Alot of mix in there! Though she will definitely be a top contender in the NCAA 200m this year, I'm starting to believe Adeleke's future really lies in that 400m. Not everyone can make the World semis and Euro finals running 50.53 off just sprint training. I really think she has sub 49.5 potential this year, which is arguably medal territory. But whatever she does will be crazy. Mary John is also on the rise! I think she was going to go to Michigan, but switched to USC last minute. Definitely a rising threat! Thanks All in the Game!

@@TheFinalLeg Just wanna see more 200/400m doublers in general :) She's more Perec/Miller-Uibo than a 100/200m short sprinter, and that 50.53 from Lane 1 was impressive & promising! Not sure I see her coming close to Athing's 49.57 this year, but 49.8 - 49.9 is possible!

@@TheFinalLeg I agree, 400m (and even 800m) is where her future lies. Same goes for Favor Ofili also

@@TheFinalLeg I had Adeleke at 22.4/49.8-49.9 later in the season and she's already run 22.34/49.90 NRs in mid-April! And then of course Britton pulls off a 49.51/53.23 WL Double! I think Diggs is taking the wrong approach by continuing with the short sprints outdoors like she did indoors, and should be looking to run a mix of 400/600/800m races instead to build the strength that's a little lacking in comparison to Britton!

@@AllInTheGame01 Adeleke really is ahead of schedule from what most predicted. I think its a definite that she makes the 400m world final at this pace, and honestly, a medal is not out of the question, especially if the hurdler's (Sydney, Femke, Britton) dont run it. I feel pretty confident saying Britton Wilson will run 51.x and 48.x in the NCAA this year. The only thing that stops her is injury at this point. She is too smooth and has too much talent. There is a very very small part of me that wouldn't be surprised to see both Bol and Wilson run sub 51 in the hurdles at Worlds. Im still rooting big time for Diggs, but she is "falling behind" a bit in the NCAA when talking about the top 400m women. He windy 10.96 and 10.92 this year are really good, but she has to be running 49 mid by NCAAs to compete with Adeleke for 2nd place (and maybe even Effiong and Anning if they put things together again) But Diggs has a slight advantage that she is basically the top 400m runner in the USA right now, again assuming Wilson, McLaughlin are not focused on it for Worlds.

Exactly! That makes her indoor races all the more impressive with thoes tight indoor turns. Thanks for watching Toffee!

Thanks as always 1 Son! Its true, her being so talk she may be slightly limited indoors, but then outdoors she has soo much room for growth. 50.53 and World semis is crazy for just jumping into the 400m. So 49 is very possible with real serious training!

@@TheFinalLeg just ran 49.20 she is unbelieveable talent for 20 years of age .

shes not Irish and are you racist? why are you stealing from nigeria

​@@Podonnchadha-cr7nnit's adorable that you all try the same silly argument. It's not working

@@user-fr3dg2ng4f whereabouts in Nigeria is Tallaght.

Yea her name is Nigerian, specifically Yoruba, so American or European may not know. But name pronunciations are always tricky with our global sport!

Haha, I knew she would get the Irish record, but didn't know by that much! Amazing performance from her

TOTAL disrespect to Britton Wilson....and the NEW 400m NCAA record holder!

@Jean Eunia .....Sydney McLaughlin and Athing Mu are training today in an attempt to break the world record. The 400m is going to be hot! Also, the 4x400 WR is going down too.

Dublin people tend to.

All I hear is a Nigerian speaking kind of fast.

​@@surunitemiakanni-oye4346As an Irish person I can assure you that she has a Dublin accent mixed in with a Nigerian accent which is understandable as her parents are from Nigeria.

Exactly! Africans really everywhere! haha Thanks for watching A. Brave!

Haha one of the last things I said in the video here was look out for the indoor Irish record in the 400m...that didnt last long...

@@TheFinalLeg I am looking forward to the outdoor season. Being tall won't be as much of a factor as it is on tight indoor tracks.

Seems like you're still living in the middle ages 😅

As do white people. Is that a dogwhistle in your mouth?

What countries are they, Mr.Dogwhistler?

What countries are you respecting, Mr.Dogwhistle?

Both her parents are Yoruba Nigerian, she was born and raised in Ireland but also speaks a bit of Yoruba.

Yea AJT is right. Check out the video description, I linked the interview we did with her at World Championships and she talks about both her parents being Nigerian. Thanks for watching Fay!

She is Irish from Dublin!🇮🇪🇮🇪
