Ciara Sheehy: Irish Olympic Sprinter

"The whole Sydney experience was the sporting highlight of the year for me

"The whole Sydney experience was the sporting highlight of the year for me. I was running with the 4x400 metre relay team in front of 120,000 people, and it just doesn't get much better than that.

I was also there to see Cathy Freeman win the 400 metres and the atmosphere in the Olympic Stadium that night was incredible. For her to win that race was probably one of the best performances of the Games - she was under so much pressure from the home crowd. I also watch a lot of other sports on television, but I wouldn't be a huge fan of any sport in particular. But I have to admit that I am a bit of a Manchester United fan, so I try to catch those games when they are being shown."
