World Athletics Championships: Irish in action on Day 8

The women's 400m relay team are the last Irish athletes in action at the World Championships, but their chances of making it to Sunday's final have diminished.

That is due to the unavailability of Rhasidat Adeleke who was due to anchor the side, giving them a real shot of reaching the final.

The Tallaght sensation finished fourth in the 400m final in Budapest on Wednesday night, and a long season has caught up on the 20-year-old.

Kelly McGrory, Sharlene Mawdsley, Roisin Harrison and Sophie Becker will be the team that runs on Saturday evening.
