Derval O'Rourke finally to get European Bronze medal...


In the European Indoor Athletics Championships in Gothenburg at the start of March 2013, Nevin Yanit won the Gold in the womens 60m hurdles. Derval O'Rourke finished 4th in that final. Since that time, Yanit failed a drug test and as such, she should be stripped of her Gold medal which would move Derval up into bronze.

After appeals and a long process, Yanit was finally given a 3 year ban today. It is now clears the way for Derval O'Rourke to get her Bronze medal.
