Orla Comerford

Name: Orla Comerford

Event: 100m T13

At the Rio Games, the Raheny native reached the final of the T13 100m and will be looking to improve on her eight-place finish back then. She did go on to win two bronze medals at the Europeans in 2018.

Ankle (surgery in 2019 and related biomechanical problems meant she's had to totally overhaul her technique and had a lengthy rehab. She was resigned to targeting Paris in 2024 as her next major but qualified for Tokyo by running 12.65 seconds at the City of Lisburn meet in May, her first race in three years.
