Rhasidat Adeleke has been confirmed as taking part in the team that will race in tonight’s final of the Women’s 4x400m Relay at the European Athletics Championships in Rome.

Sophie Becker will once again lead out the team, passing the baton to Adeleke who dons the green singlet for the fourth time in these championships.
