Race breakdown of that 400m final: Adeleke hit 200m in 23.29. Ultimately, the difference between her and the medallists is doing that last 50m in 7.26 when they were all 6.9-7.0. The medallists are 26, 26 and 27. She's 21. That last part will come - with time and training.

That's two out of three Olympic medallists in the women's 100m hurdles who are coached by Dubliner John Coghlan - who just a few years ago was physical conditioning coach for Meath GAA. (Having been unable to earn a living coaching athletics in Ireland). Some job once again.
