O’Rourke smashes Irish record and sets sights on Gothenburg

DERVAL O’ROURKE turned in a superb performance to smash the Irish record for the 100m hurdles with a 12.85 sec run for third place at last night’s GE Money Grand Prix in Helsinki.

It was another astonishing performance by the world indoor 60m hurdles champion who has now proved she can transfer her indoor form on the outdoor circuit.

She was one of four women in the race who competed in Stockholm the previous night and one of those, Nigerian Josephine Onyia, who was behind her in Stockholm, took second place last night.
