50.53 for @rhasidatadeleke to smash the Irish 400m record from lane one and finish 5th in a European final at the age of 19. It was her 49th race of the year. Astonishing effort. Astonishing athlete.

.@rhasidatadeleke becomes the first Irishwoman ever to go below 50 seconds for 400m with 49.90 to finish second behind NCAA indoor champion and US indoor record holder Britton Wilson. Another whopping Irish record, taking 0.43 off her previous mark.
