You may or may not remember my good friend Derval O'Rourke. Take a peek back at my blog post from our photos shoot if your memory escapes you.
Anyway, I mentioned that Derval was a kick-ass 100m hurdler and today she took her kick-ass talent to a new level when she became the first Irish sprinter to make the final at a major championships. Not only that, but in the final she finished 4th. Yes 4th, as an athlete it has to be THE worst position to finish in any event. So near, but yet so far from getting your hands on a medal. She did however set a new Irish Record by running 12.67 sec. Unbelieveable.
So BIG CONGRATS to Derval. Girrrrl, you did you and our country proud. 4th at the World Championships, amazing.
P.S Answer your damn phone, I'm tryin to call you.

Seconded well done to Derval from me. Not that I know the girl but we (yes the people of Ireland!!) are so pround of her. Saw her interview on the news last night and my heart went out to her. She was so disappointed to miss out on a medal. But congrats Derval.
