Seven times French National Hurdles champion, Reina-Flor Okori, is the latest international athlete to confirm her participation  in the 63rd Cork City Sports on Tuesday 8th July.

While all athletic fans in Cork are hoping that local heroine Derval O’Rourke makes a successful return to competition following her recent achilles surgery the addition of Okori to the field will also ensure top class opposition for Limerick’s Sarah Lavin, national junior champion and record holder who is also a confirmed starter for the hurdles.
