European Championships: Rhasidat Adeleke and Sharlene Mawdsley go head-to-head in 400m final

Hello and welcome along. After Ciara Mageean’s heroics in the 1500m final last night, two athletes will attempt to add to Ireland’s medal count at these European Championships very shortly.

All eyes will be on Rome’s Stadio Olimpico as Rhasidat Adeleke and Sharlene Mawdsley battle it out with the continent’s elite in the women’s 400m final. 

The pair, of course, were part of the 4x400m mixed relay team that produced an outstanding display to clinch gold on Friday. 

The race is due to start at 8.50pm and it will be shown live on RTÉ 2 and the RTÉ Player, but we will be following the action right here.
