O’Rourke finishes third in Stockholm

DERVAL O’ROURKE is well on course for Gothenburg, as evidenced by her third place in a strong field at the DN Galen in Stockholm last night.

Again O’Rourke found herself in the B race, but the field that included Canadian champion Perdita Felicien and the former Nigerian and Commonwealth record holder, Glory Alozie, now representing Spain, would have done justice to any meet.

Unlike some of her previous races this season, Ireland’s world indoor 60m hurdles champion who set a new national record at 12.92 secs in Lausanne two weeks earlier, got off to a perfect start.
