Rhasidat Adeleke has been doing this country proud time and time again.

She’s smashed national records, picked up personal bests and a handful of medals in her debut year.

While she wasn’t able to secure a medal in the Olympics in Paris, it is just the beginning of what we’re sure will be an illustrious career.

Now it looks like she won’t just be breaking records, she’ll be breaking the bank as well.

According to The Mail on Sunday she could be on track to becoming Ireland’s highest paid sportsperson ever.

Kelli O’Keeffe, who is managing director of the sports advisory practice, Teneo told the publication: “Rhasidat is a terrific role model for young girls, whether they are into sports or not.”

The Tallaght sprinter already has sponsorships with Allianz, KPMG and Nike but Kelli says that she “probably has room for one or two more partnerships” which could “certainly be on the bigger side of things”.
