Rhasidat Adeleke opened up about her aspirations for the 2025 track and field season. In an interview before the start of her season, Adeleke shared that she has been focusing and building a foundation majorly on the 400m event.

Additionally, she also mentioned that she will have to sort out her goals for the 2025 season which also consists of the World Championships in Tokyo. She said (via RTE.ie):

"I'm training mainly for the 400 now and trying to get all my strength training in, and it’s crucial to build that foundation, so that’s what we are focused on right now. This is the time where I need to focus on envisioning my goals and remember that every single thing I do at this point is going to play into how the World Championships goes. So it’s important as soon as you are back training, to remember that, but also not to put too much pressure at the same time."

During the conversation, Adeleke also remarked that with more and more experience in the 2025 season, she will get better as a 400m runner.
