Rhasidat Adeleke has been named 2024 Athlete of the Year at the 123.ie National Athletics Awards which took place in Santry on Wednesday.

The Tallaght AC athlete didn’t quite get on that Olympic podium in Paris over the summer but it was nonetheless a sensational year for the 22-year-old who continues to set new standards for Irish sprinting.
