Orla Comerford was a couple of days removed from her Paralympic 100m T13 bronze medal at the Stade de France when she made a beeline for the summer’s second major goal. This one would take a lot longer than 11.94 seconds.

If she is married to athletics in the public mind after three successive Games then art is her other love. The Dubliner has a degree in Fine Art Media from the National College of Art & Design (NCAD) and works part-time in the Irish Museum of Modern Art.
