Brilliant.

She really could be anything.

Sonia once held every Irish record from 800 to 5000. Rhasidat could do same to 400m.

Nick Griggs is a serious middle distance prospect as well

Ruby Walsh levels of pace judgement

He’d beat by a considerable margin any 8 lads on here running a lap each.

Any Norwegian winning anything like that should be treated with a high index of suspicion. Pioneers of the epo era.

Savage stuff

Some going from Brian Fay. And while not posted here I think Rhadisat broke another Irish record in the last 2 weeks as well

Sophie Becker ran a PB yesterday to move to 5th on all time Irish list for 400m. Rhadisat then ran a stormer qualifying for a final in the US last night and moved to 4th on the 400m women’s list. Can’t ever remember a time we had so many quality female sprinters all together. Hopefully they could get to a worlds or Olympic relay final or something close to it

The day is coming when she’s gonna get a an “alright, alright, alright” from Matthew. That will really announce her.
