The crowds came out like never before, and they witnessed a performance the likes of which no one had ever witnessed at nationals – Rhasidat Adeleke blasting an 11.13-second 100m to obliterate the Irish record and give herself the perfect send-off ahead of the Paris Olympics.

The 21-year-old Dubliner produced the undoubted star performance to take gold at the 123.ie National Track and Field Championships at Morton Stadium on Sunday afternoon, her 11.13 (+0.7m/s) obliterating the previous record of 11.27 that was set by Sarah Lavin in Switzerland last year.
