Rhasidat Adeleke has been named in the Ireland squad for the World Athletics Relays in Guangzhou, China.

The event takes place next month, and Adeleke's involvement will be a huge boost for Ireland.

Adeleke played a major role in Ireland qualifying for the women’s 4x400m and mixed 4x400m for last year’s Paris Olympics.

The Tallaght athlete will be joined by three other Irish Olympians, Sharlene Mawdsley, Sophie Becker and Phil Healy, The Irish Times reports.

The two-day competition takes place on May 10th and 11th, and the top 14 teams in each event will automatically qualify for the World Championships.
