RHASIDAT ADELEKE IS enjoying the support from Irish fans in Paris after dominating her 400 metre heat in the Olympic Games this morning and securing a place in Wednesday’s final.

The Dublin-born runner came first in her heat this morning, cruising over the line in what seemed second nature to her. Speaking after qualifying for the Olympic final, Adeleke said she is appreciating the support from irish fans in Paris.

“I was like, ‘Am I at Morton Stadium right now?’,” she told RTÉ Sport when asked how the reception felt.

    see how ridiculous this sounds? hate knows no religion. only hate. we, collectively as a society, have to decide to stop pitting one side against the other if we truly want to tackle terrorism on both sides.

    @Nigel Garvey: I couldn’t believe what he done. To show the video from inside the mosque on a large screen to an audience was reckless. To then say Aussies will go home in caskets like their grandads in WW1 is an incitement to violence. I’m surprised the international media didnt make more of it. Could you imagine of Trump had done that?

    @ciaran111: I can’t wait until they get into the EU. I’d happily pay their doles so I can worry about my kids commuting into town every day…

    Since 9/11 tens of thousands worldwide murdered, butchered, beheaded, stabbed, burned alive, raped, thrown of building, stoned, all in the name of Islam and one backlash in New Zealand is anyone surprised ? Just imagine if the shoe were on the other foot and Muslims had been targeted by right wing extremists for the past 20 years what would the likely outcome be ?
