Rhasidat Adeleke has become the first Irish female sprinter to reach an Olympic final after she qualified for the 400m final in Paris.
The Dubliner finished with a time of 49.95 just behind Bahrain's Salwa Eid Naser who finished first.
Eid Naser is a former world champion who has since served a doping ban.
She will run in Friday's final and will be hoping she can get in amongst the medals after a strong showing so far.
The final is scheduled to take place on 7pm on Friday evening.
