Derval O’Rourke puts foot down on Choo shoes

Track queen Derval O’Rourke says not even a serious achilles operation was going to stop her walking up the aisle in her wedding-day extravagance, a pair of Jimmy Choo shoes.

The Cork athlete fellow Olympian, sailor Peter O’Leary, recently and spoke of her race against time to be ready for the biggest day of her life.

“The four weeks post-surgery were very tough in terms of wedding preparation. I was on crutches and unable to drive,” she says in tomorrow’s Weekend magazine.
