Adeleke and her training partners Dina Asher-Smith, Lanae Thomas and Julien Alfred went under the world record, but won’t enter the record books due to the competitors’ different nationalities.

The mark of 1:27.46, recorded by a US team at the Penn Relays in 2000, still stands.

Adeleke produced a scorching second leg for Team International as she carried her brilliant indoor form into her 2024 outdoor debut:

The 21-year-old Dubliner missed the World Indoor Championships in Glasgow at the start of March with a minor ankle injury.

She is now building up to the European Championships in Rome in June — and ultimately, the Olympic Games in Paris.
