The 23-year-old will compete in her final Olympic event this evening.
IRELAND ’S KATE O’Connor has moved to 14th place overall in the Women’s Heptathlon at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.Advertisement Only two athletes of the 10 competing in Group B performed better than the Irishwoman in that event. In addition, it was a superior result to any of the 11 competitors in Group A registered.
O’Connor had been 19th after her opening day of action on Thursday, encompassing 100m hurdles, high jump, shot put and 200m. She moved up to 18th after a best jump of 5.79m in the long jump earlier today, the seventh-best effort out of 11 competitors in Group A. Ireland’s first-ever heptathlete to compete at an Olympics, who has accrued 5249 points, will conclude her Paris Games this evening with the 800m at 7.25pm.
