In this instalment of the Women in Sport series, we hear from Lorraine Keane on sporting inspirations, routine, and the Journey to Dromoland
How did you first fall in love with sport?
I love watching gymnastics competitions on TV, especially the Olympics, and decided to take it up when I was about 10 years old.It’s a great way of making new friendships outside of your social and school circles. It’s really nice to be part of a team and to bond over common experiences.Coming very close to breaking a world record, aged 27, for climbing the 5 highest peaks in Ireland and the UK in 24 hours .
Being happy in myself, who I am, where I am in life, feeling satisfied and grateful and not worrying what other people think. Lastly, why is sport such an integral part of community, on a club, local, national and personal level? Sport brings people together whether you’re a spectator or participant and forms wonderful friendships and memories that last a lifetime.
