Rhasidat Adeleke has said a hamstring strain led to her withdrawal from the World Championships in September, one of “several issues” that hampered her performances throughout the season.

“I just wasn't able to get a consistent training cycle,” she told RTÉ Sport during a visit to St Mark's Junior National School in Tallaght on Friday. “It was several different injuries, from hamstring to groin to knee. They are all stimulating from a condition that I have and we are just trying to make sure that everything is managed and maintained.”
