Derval O'Rourke
Derval O'Rourke (born May 28, 1981 in Cork) is an Irish sprint hurdles athlete. She competes internationally in the 60 and 100 metres hurdles, and is the Irish national record holder in both events. In 2010 at the European Championships she won silver in the 100 metres hurdles final. O'Rourke set an Irish record of 12.65, cutting .02secs off her previous mark as she finished behind Turkey's Nevin Yanit who won in 12.63, just .02 a second ahead. O'Rourke said after the race "Medals are very special and, winning a silver medal in a new Irish record, I would take every day of the week, I think when I look back on my career whenever it ends, the only thing that will count is medals because they go into the history books and can't be taken away". O'Rourke was selected to represent Europe in the 2010 IAAF Continental Cup (Formerly IAAF World Cup) making her the 5th Irish person to be selected to represent Europe.
