‘You just want to perform' – Lisa O'Rourke and her sister Aoife hoping for knockout appearance at Hyrox World Championships
With a packed sporting schedule of Gaelic football with Roscommon, boxing with Ireland and her new-found love of Hyrox – the multi-talented Lisa O'Rourke is really going to have to roll with the punches this summer.
Fresh from an emphatic victory in the 70kg category at the National Elite Boxing Championships last week, which followed her IBA World Championship silver medal win in March, the 23-year-old now finds herself jetting off to compete for Ireland at the Hyrox World Championships in Chicago, which starts today and runs until Sunday.
