Final-bound Rhasidat Adeleke must find the necessary answers - and quick 

Adeleke is fully capable if all is well – she’s done it multiple times this summer alone. But right now there’s a question left hanging. It won’t be answered until Friday night.

She has a chance, and sometimes that’s all you need. 

The Olympic 400m semi-final might not have gone to plan for Rhasidat Adeleke in Paris, the 21-year-old Dubliner tying up heavily over the final 100m and coming home a distant second in 49.95 behind 2019 world champion Salwa Eid Naser of Bahrain (49.08).
