Adeleke does not get the credit she deserves. Truth be told and it can be painful: all of Ireland does not accept her. Some Irish made very inflammatory and derogatory comments about Adeleke because she is Black. This incredible athlete has Nigerian parents who settled in Ireland while Adeleke's mother was pregnant with her daughter, making Adeleke Irish. However, embedded prejudice is still prevalent in 2024 and I challenge all commenters to speak against racism. I salute Adeleke, not because of her stellar talent on the track, but because of being an athlete who epitomizes class!

Yes, she did take the first 200m easy, but she ran an even paced race & ended with a 49.2 split.

Big Congrats to Ireland!!👏👏👏 Also, I'm thinking Bol is catching the 2nd place runner at the line ... if that Dude after handing off the baton wasn't directly in Bol's path causing her to sorta zigzag her way around him. That little unwanted stutter was easily the difference between Silver or Bronze. Not that there was any ill intent on his part, it IS the nature of the 4×400m Beast. We actually see that unintentional blocking of a runner a LOT in the 4×400m... there's just so much mayhem when you have 16 athletes all trying to get their exchanges done properly. Great race tho... and congrats to all 3 Countries getting on the Podium.👍👍👍

Looked like Klaver lost that for Holland by getting sucked into a sprint with the quicker irish runner.

[@HandlethatJandal]

Absolutely, she blew it

[@sakura_flower7]

in the individual 400m, klaver always goes out hard and dies down, why would she try the same strategy with someone who is even faster.

[@pedrotheguy]

i was thinking the same if she had run her best without sprinting bol would have been smashed that

[@ytnsanw]

Mind you, she was well back to begin with as the first leg runner blew it. Klaver was then in a position of having to make up a lot of ground - which she did - but then blew up in last 100. Great race, though.

[@Max_Griswald]

Klaver had the 2nd fastest time on her leg and 4th fastest time of any of the women, although it did look like she would have dropped off a lot more if it had been 10 meters more to the handoff. The leadoff was over a second behind the field leader, though Ireland's leadoff was in the same spot. I believe that Bol could have pulled it off if she hadn't gotten bogged down by the Italian 3rd leg who held his arms out like a piece of trash and didn't move to the inside after handing off. That caused Bol to have to start a lot slower because she had to dodge to the outside a smidgen. Just watch at 7:05 Ireland definitely deserved the win, all four of their athletes were fast, both women breaking 50 second barrier (Bol being the only other woman to do so). Belgium did great as well, were really fun to watch. If their 2nd leg had been Klaver, they'd have gotten silver. If their 4th leg had been Bol, they'd have gotten gold, even with the slow 2nd leg from Van Den Broeck.
