O’Rourke’s Olympics in doubt; Smyth misses out

Jason Smyth’s attempts to become the first individual athlete to compete in the Olympic and Paralympic games came to an end in Santry Stadium today, but it was the extent of a possible injury to Derval O'Rourke that occupied Team Ireland's minds.

Smyth fell victim to Paul Hession's fast finishing in the 100 metres at the Woodies DIY National Track and Field Championships, who took the title in 10.37, outside the Olympic standard.
