"O'Connor clocked 8.23 in the 60m hurdles and followed it with a 1.81m clearance in the high jump, then threw a personal best of 14.70m in the shot put."
"Earlier, O'Connor endured some nervous moments in the high jump and required a third attempt to go over 1.81m, having had to abort her initial try after slipping."
"I'm lost for words, and I wish I could tell you exactly what happened. I had a very good warm-up. There's nothing that signalled that I might give a performance like that."
O'Connor secured second place in a recent competition, marking another achievement in a successful year. She won silver medals at the World Indoors and Tokyo World Championships. In the Kujawsko-Pomorska Arena, she recorded times of 8.23 in the 60m hurdles and cleared 1.81m in the high jump. O'Connor set a personal best in shot put with 14.70m and performed well in long jump. Lavin, however, struggled in the 60m hurdles, finishing fifth and expressing disappointment over her performance.
