Sophie O’Sullivan runs an 800 metres personal best in Brescia, Italy, putting her second on Ireland’s all-time list. The performances come as other Irish athletes take part in events in Italy, including Rhasidat Adeleke.
Adeleke is also competing at the meet, in the 200 metres. One report says Adeleke faces disappointment after finishing sixth in the 200m, despite recent success at the European Championships. Another notes that while Adeleke runs 22.85, the time is unlikely to be enough to qualify her for the World Ultimate Championships next month.
Across the coverage, the focus differs: one outlet emphasizes O’Sullivan’s new mark and all-time ranking, while the other highlights the potential challenge for Adeleke’s qualification hopes. Both accounts agree that the Brescia meet features both athletes’ action and that results for Adeleke fall short of what is required for her next event.
