Coach insists O’Rourke can improve in Hungary

DERVAL O’ROURKE will continue her build up to the world championships in Daegu and, ultimately, next year’s Olympic Games when she lines up for the 100m hurdles in Budapest tomorrow.

The European silver medallist claimed two big scalps on her last outing when she finished third in Lucerne, ahead of European champion Nevin Yanit and world champion Brigitte Foster Hilton.

“She was far from perfect at the start and she definitely took her eye off the sixth hurdle — she just did not attack it,” O’Rourke’s coach Terri Cahill said.
