Entering its eleventh year, the Waterford Walls Festival brings the greatest street painters from Ireland and abroad to the southern city to adorn its walls with murals and other works of art.

This incredible painting on Jenkins Lane, featuring Tallaght's Olympic hero, is the first to be unveiled.

The mural was posted on the festival's Instagram page, along with the caption: "How lucky are we to have such amazing talent here in Ireland? While Ireland isn’t perfect, the progress our country has made over the last 20 years is staggering.

"Rhasidat Adeleke is a beautiful emblem of everything that’s great about modern Ireland. She symbolises talent, hard work, achievement at the highest possible level, and diversity.

"She represents the Ireland that the vast majority of us want to live in. We are super proud of Rhasidat and all our Olympians."

American graffiti and muralist JEKS, a native of North Carolina, painted the mural. This Sunday is the concluding day of the event, which started last Friday.
