Five-time Olympian Derek Burnett bows out in Tokyo

Derek Burnett of Ireland 

Derek Burnett made history in Tokyo by becoming just the third Irish person to compete at five Olympic Games, the 51-year-old Longford shooter finishing 26th in the men’s trap qualification today with a score of 118.

Race walker Rob Heffernan and sailor David Wilkins are the only other two to rack up five Olympic appearances for Ireland and Burnett once again gave a good account of himself.
