Women's 400m final - 2023 NCAA outdoor track and field championships 

About time you posted this race, Adeleke is a real star and she is only at the beginning of her career

Those strides were too much for Wilson to overcome, Adeleke has some serious potential as a newcomer to the 400.

As a former collegiate 400 meter runner myself....to see her run 49.20 and say she hasn't figured it out yet??? That should concern all the elite 400 meter runners because.....she's gonna figure it out.....wow!!! Amazing sprint!!!

“Athing Moo” 💀 announcers kill me man.

What a legend!! Adeleke is on her way to stardom🥇🥇🥇🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪

Gorgeous athlete, in every sense of the word.

The commentators are absolutely shocking. Adeleke cruised to a 49.8 in her semifinal, so she was clearly in low 49 form. To label this result as a huge upset is ridiculous.

i was waiting for this upload edit: she's only been running the 4 since the fall...? what in the nine hells?!

Congrats to Rhasidat, what a talent! Credit to Britton for attempting a historic challenge, only issue was running the prelims harder/faster than was clearly necessary; she ran 49.36 in the 400m semi (slowest qualifier was 51.20); and then 54.67 in the 400mH semi (slowest qualifier was 56.02). She could literally have run both races over a second slower & still qualified for both Finals conserving a ton of energy in the process! Better round/race management is a lesson I hope she takes away from this experience i.e. if she only focuses on the flat 400m @USAs, she shouldn't be trying to run all 3 rounds in low 49s or quicker! We could very well see Paulino, Syd, Britton, Rhasidat and possibly Naser all run sub 49s over the next few weeks! Talitha Diggs is another fantastic talent who I hope gives up running rounds of both the 200/400m at big meets like this and sticks to just the 400m like Rhasidat smartly did!

The pride of Ireland 🇮🇪

Well done Rhasidat 👏 Making Ireland proud 🇮🇪

Her Irish accent is so cute

Sub-50s are phenomenal

Adeleke, making Ireland proud. Not hyped up, just getting the job done.

RGIII calling track and field makes me smile. “Who do you think you are.. I am” 😂😂😂 the reference is amazing

The fact she just began to train for the 400m in the fall is absolutely insane! Imagine next season when she really figures it out.

49.20 absolutely phenomenal 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🏃🏾‍♀️🏃🏾‍♀️🏃🏾‍♀️🏃🏾‍♀️🏃🏾‍♀️🏃🏾‍♀️

Great run from Adeleke! It was also nice that Wilson wasn’t afraid to be human and show that she was disappointed.

A-Del-EE-Kay!! To quote the famous words of the University of Texas alumnus and fellow Irish exile Mathew McConaughey - All Right , All Right, All Right. Speaking of the dazed and confused, let's congratulate ESPN and NCAA for not re-editing that shamelessly biased intro before it was posted for posterity on RU-vid. I hope Dwight has fully recovered from so spectacularly tripping over his tongue during the last 50 meters of Miss Adeleke's resounding victory.😂🤣 As always, John gets credit for his hilarious post-race interview techniques. 😉

That Irish accent popped right up!!!

Im so proud of her 🇮🇪

That was fast man. Faster than Sydney the other day.! She only ran a 49.71 to be second as a senior at the diamond. Whithout that wind this girl could have broken 49 sec im sure.! That smile is all teeth.! Well done.

This is Shaunae Miller-Uibo/Marie Perec-level talent here. I hope she keeps going all the way down into the low 48's... or, dare I say it, better. And some sub 22's while she's at it. I wish big things for Britton as well.

"HERE COMES RASHeeeEee ADELEKE!"

Britton such a sweetie. Get it next time😊

Commentary clearly didn't do their research here. Putting all the focus on one athlete and overlooking Adeleke.

go ☘! well done Rhasidat!

So glad her & Britain hugged

Come on Ireland , cant wait so see where this lady came take us

August 2023 - Adeleke in the final of World Championships!

Great sprinting

I llove this young lady she only getting better and better 👏👏🙏🏿🙏🏿🙌🏾🙌🏾💪💪

Supreme talent.

What a race, both are hugely talented! I'm only a casual viewer but to me it seems like Adeleke is the one with the most potential. She's 20, she said herself she has only trained for the 400m for 9 months and she doesn't even know how to run it properly yet!. 49.20 and she barely knows how to run it - that's insane. I'm not convinced that BW has as much untapped potential - she's much more experienced and has a lot more 400m training under her belt. I'm not sure where she will find the extra second to go low 48 as some are forecasting. Again, just an observation

The talent in the 400 this year is historic! McLaughlin, Paulido, Bol, Wilson and now Adeleke? We might see 5 women go sub-49 at world's (and maybe a few sub-48) 😮

Ireland huh....I love it, Afro Irish

Good for her 🎉

This shows how much of a beast Wilson is. She was still a second in front of the pack. Adeleke is a beast and could have won the race rather Wilson ran earlier or not because Adeleke ran at record pace. Iron sharpens iron, if they both raced against each other 10 times it could go 5/5 and I wouldn’t be surprised. Wilson was still dominant in this race and still almost tied her own record.

If Brittan Wilson we're able to have focused on One race or the other, she wins whichever race she decides. She was all about attempting this type of double because it had not been done before and also scoring points for her team. The team concept Hurts the individual athlete because, they get burned out after such a long season. Britain is probably an elite 400-meter Runner which is obvious to us all but, she has been running the 300 and 400 m hurdles since the ninth grade here in Virginia where she competed at Mills Godwin High School. I think that if she focuses on the flat 400, she could go low 48 to sub 48.

Well done Rashidat, you just keep doing you. I think it's a case now the other athletes are more worried about you not the other way round. Can't wait to see her progress. 🇮🇪

At 6 foot and only 20 years old, with her stride length and natural speed I would start throwing in the 400m hurdles. She could dominate both in the years ahead.

Class act 💪🏾👍🏽

I honestly believe Britton would have won had she not run a 49 in the semi’s; she was clear of the field by around 2 seconds if I’m not mistaken. Save the energy for this race, nonetheless great job to both ladies - truly talented field. I

Adeleke on the home stretch was thinking.." not today bitch", not today!!

HOOK 'EM!!

Adelece 49.20!!! 🔥🔥🔥🚒🧯 30mins turn around for Britton to win 400 hurdles then flat 400 is TOUGH!! Was always going to be tough, but Adelece was just smoking fast though! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

She’s still 20y.o!!

Too hot to attempt this double.

Both of these athletes should be running under 49 soon. Gutted for britton though, but there is a reason no one has tried the double before and I don’t think anyone will want to try it again seeing what happened to Britton.

This women is so beautiful. I think modeling agencies need to get to track women.

Britton out there doing too much 400m 400h. She underestimated the other woman.

Women 400m is getting seriously extremely competitive now!

THIS IS MY HOUSE!

Her tall lanky frame reminds me of Shaunae Miller Uibo... arguably the best one lap sprinter of all time.

Rhasidat Adeleke could be a 2024 Olympic Gold Medalist I think Britton and Rhasidat could beat Sydney McLaughlin

Great accent!

These announcers are so predictable we need a bingo for these championships.

As a prior sprinter, you don't notice it. Ur trying to beat the other sprinter

When will she go pro?

She is beautiful.

One shooting star took out another right there....

The man with Brit is pissed looking.

Hook Em!

Thalitha digs going down

I've ran both events .the open 400 is way harder than the 400 hurdles

WoW... That Chocolate🍫🫕 Looks Delicious!!!!

That woman skin is flawless

WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE I AM

Ngl Adeleke kinda looks like SZA

I get the feeling that Britney was outta gas since she started.. 😮 this was not her best competitive race.. but good job for the two girls ❤

It's called lactic acid, that hits your body when you run 400 metors

Black girls are gorgeous.

hi

Athing Mu if she was Irish

Amazing run after running 400 m hurdles 30 min prior. She probably would have went under 49 if nit for that but congratulations to the winner

Put her in the 600 and 800.

She makes fast people look not so fast

Couldn’t even pronounce her name as she passed by Wilson. I will say this again, it’s okay to change commentators.

Those old knees...😂

Finally. been looking for this race. Last time Britton will lose to her I guarantee it!!!

Wilson is a talented one but not a wise

She's Irish?

Well done to Adeleke but if Wilson hadn’t decided to also take on the 400m hurdles, I think she would have won. Doing 400m and 400m hurdles at the same time is just too much

Ireland.... Nigerian lol

Beautiful! Well done! But she should be running for an African country, not Ireland!

Irish Record, go hIontach !

We alll knew that Rashida were going to win every event that She will enter at this event😁

Screw the wind, Do not complain and get outthere and run, To hell with the wind factor😡😡😡😡
