Rhasidat Adeleke will look to book her place in the final of the 400m when she races at the Stade de France this evening.

The Tallaght sprinting star won her heat in great style and is now bidding to make an Olympic final.

Adeleke goes in the first of three semi-final heats and is one of five participants to have run under 50 seconds.

The 21-year-old's progression has been consistent throughout her athletic career, and the next step would be to qualify for an Olympic final.

Adeleke won silver at the European Championships earlier this year and holds seven individual Irish national records.

Her semi-final is scheduled for 7.45pm Irish time and will be shown live on RTE and the RTE Player.
