DJ Carey: Hurler of the Year 2000

"I think Sonia O'Sullivan's win in Sydney stands out

"I think Sonia O'Sullivan's win in Sydney stands out. It was on quite early in the morning and like most people, I watched it at home. What most impressed me was the bravery of the performance. It was a hard run psychologically, particularly given the disappointments she suffered previously. To see her come through like that was quite something. I have crossed paths with her at various functions without ever actually meeting her, but like everyone, I was delighted. Aside from that, Tiger Woods' domination of golf was something else. He really is a world apart. I had hoped to go down to see him play in Limerick, but it was the day after the Leinster final and I was just too sore to travel. But he is coming to Mount Juliet in a few years, so hopefully I'll see him then."
