Adrian O'Dwyer Biography

Adrian O'Dwyer is one of the most popular and richest Athletics Competitor who was born on December 1, 1983 in Kilkenny, Kilkenny, Ireland. O’Dwyer was born in Kilkenny to his sporting parents Paddy O’Dwyer, a judoka who competed for Ireland at the 1975 World Judo Championships in Vienna, Austria, and Gudrun Marx, an East German-born eventing rider. O’Dwyer attended both primary and secondary school at CBS Kilkenny, where he began his athletics career and lettered in the sprint races and long jump. At the age of 13, O’Dwyer grew exceptionally taller and turned his attention to high jump. Since then, O’Dwyer excelled the sport, and had an initial jump of 1.86 m, until he extended it tremendously to 2.01 to establish a high school and junior record in 1999.

At the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, O’Dwyer qualified for the Irish squad, as a lone athlete, in the men’s high jump. O’Dwyer had crashed out prematurely of the qualifying round after failing to clear an opening height of 2.10 metres in all three attempts that left him bitterly disappointed by his poor performance.

In the 2004 indoor season, O’Dwyer recorded a new career best and a national record of 2.27 m to finish eighth in the final at the World Championships in Budapest, making him the first Irish athlete to reach the top of the world indoor rankings in any field event. Shortly after the Worlds, O’Dwyer broke the Irish under-23 record with a leap of 2.26 m at the high jump meet in Eppingen, Germany, edging closer to the 2.30-metre mark.

After graduating from St Kieran’s in early 2003, O’Dwyer trained full-time for Kilkenny City Harriers, under his personal coach Sean Lynch. In June 2003, O’Dwyer overhauled the seven-feet barrier (2.13 m) for the first time in nearly decades to attain a heroic second-place finish on his international debut at the Europa Cup meet in Copenhagen, Denmark.
