Derval O'Rourke believes she is on course to smash her Irish 60 metres hurdles record after winning the Indoor Classic in Vienna tonight in a time of 8.03seconds.
"I honestly think after the way things have been going I can now smash my record," said O'Rourke.
"So far this year I've been concentrating on my technique rather than speed, so when I do that, I think it will come."
O'Rourke defeated a strong field including former world indoor champion Anjanette Kirkland, with fellow American Lolo Jones in third.
"I normally expect to see girls like that in front of me, so it was a good win," added O'Rourke, who has her sights set on chasing a medal at the World Indoor Championships.
"Before Moscow I will run in Bergen this weekend and then the British World Championships the following week.
"I'm trying not to get too excited but I think when I do get everything together, I can smash eight seconds."
Ciara Sheehy also claimed victory in the 200m in a time of 23.85secs - just 0.08s slower than her lifetime best.
Emily Maher equalled her recent personal best of 7.39s by finishing third in the 60m while Ailis McSweeney finished sixth in 7.56s.
Stephanie Durst of the USA claimed victory in 7.25s ahead of England's Anyika Onuora.
