O'Rourke claims world title

Ireland’s Derval O’Rourke has won the 60 metres hurdles gold medal on the second day of the World Indoor Championships in Moscow.

O’Rourke, who lowered her national record by three hundredths of a second to 7.87 seconds earlier in the afternoon, again produced another sensational display to win the US dollars 40,000 first prize.

The 24-year-old from Cork was even quicker in the final running a time of 7.84secs to claim the title from Glory Alozie of Spain and Sweden’s Susanna Kallur, who clocked 7.86secs and 7.87secs respectively.
