Additionally, he set his own personal best and a remarkable Irish record at 2.30 m at the international meet in Algiers to secure a place on the Olympic team.[2] Indeed, O'Dwyer is one of the tallest athletes in the elite Irish track and field team, standing {{height|m=1.97|abbr=on}}. Early lifeO'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.[3] 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.[4] 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.[4] In 2000, O'Dwyer moved to St Kieran's College to continually pursue his high jump career. While at St Kieran's, he set numerous intermediate high school records and earned more titles in the same discipline at the Irish Schools Athletics Championships.[2] International careerAfter graduating from St Kieran's in early 2003, O'Dwyer trained full-time for Kilkenny City Harriers, under his personal coach Sean Lynch.[2] 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.[5] 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.[6][7] 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.[2] Upon entering the outdoor season in June 2004, O'Dwyer pulled off a magnificent jump at 2.30 m to trump the home crowd favorite and 2000 Olympic bronze medalist Abderrahmane Hammad for the high jump title at the international meet in Algiers, Algeria. In doing so, he smashed both his personal best and a five-year senior national outdoor record (previously set by Brendan Reilly in 1999) and achieved an Olympic A-standard to book his place on the Irish team to the Games.[2][8] At the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, O'Dwyer qualified for the Irish squad, as a lone athlete, in the men's high jump.[9] 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.[10][11][12] Personal lifeO'Dwyer currently works as a fitness instructor in a gym club at Hebron Industrial Estate in Kilkenny.[2] References1. ^{{cite sports-reference|Adrian O'Dwyer|https://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/athletes/od/adrian-odwyer-1.html|20 March 2015}} 2. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 {{cite news|title=Adrian breaks Irish record and qualifies for the Olympics |url=http://www.kilkennypeople.ie/news/adrian-breaks-irish-record-and-qualifies-for-the-olympics-1-2149847 |publisher=Kilkenny People |date=30 June 2004 |accessdate=17 March 2015 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20150402114808/http://www.kilkennypeople.ie/news/adrian-breaks-irish-record-and-qualifies-for-the-olympics-1-2149847 |archivedate=2 April 2015 }} 3. ^{{cite news|first=John |last=Knox |title=Sharing Irish record not enough for determined Adrian |url=http://www.kilkennypeople.ie/news/sharing-irish-record-not-enough-for-determined-adrian-1-2149855 |publisher=Kilkenny People |date=3 March 2004 |accessdate=17 March 2015 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20150402125636/http://www.kilkennypeople.ie/news/sharing-irish-record-not-enough-for-determined-adrian-1-2149855 |archivedate=2 April 2015 }} 4. ^1 {{cite news|title=Who the Hellas O'Dwyer they ask now, but... |url=http://www.kilkennypeople.ie/news/who-the-hellas-o-dwyer-they-ask-now-but-1-2149846 |publisher=Kilkenny People |date=18 August 2004 |accessdate=17 March 2015 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20150402091745/http://www.kilkennypeople.ie/news/who-the-hellas-o-dwyer-they-ask-now-but-1-2149846 |archivedate=2 April 2015 }} 5. ^{{cite news|title=Irish men make good start|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/northern_ireland/3009740.stm|publisher=BBC Sport|date=21 June 2003|accessdate=17 March 2015}} 6. ^{{cite news|title=Ceplak runs 1:59.17 at Open Hungarian Indoor Championships – IAAF permit – Day Two|url=http://www.iaaf.org/news/news/ceplak-runs-15917-at-open-hungarian-indoor-ch|publisher=IAAF|date=25 February 2004|accessdate=17 March 2015}} 7. ^{{cite news|title=Brizzel pulls out of semis|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/athletics/3535517.stm|publisher=BBC Sport|date=6 March 2004|accessdate=17 March 2015}} 8. ^{{cite news|title=Ramzi runs 3:31.87 world season’s lead in Alger|url=http://www.iaaf.org/news/news/ramzi-runs-33187-world-seasons-lead-in-alger|publisher=IAAF|date=30 June 2004|accessdate=17 March 2015}} 9. ^{{cite news|title=Irish team for Athens|url=http://www.iaaf.org/news/news/irish-team-for-athens|publisher=IAAF|date=8 July 2004|accessdate=17 March 2015}} 10. ^{{cite web|title=IAAF Athens 2004: Men's High Jump Qualification|url=http://www.iaaf.org/competitions/olympic-games/28th-olympic-games-3201/results/men/high-jump/qualification/summary|work=Athens 2004|publisher=IAAF|accessdate=17 March 2015}} 11. ^{{cite news|title=O'Dwyer out of the Games|url=http://www.rte.ie/sport/olympics/2004/0820/184892-odwyer/|publisher=RTÉ Ireland|date=14 June 2007|accessdate=17 March 2015}} 12. ^{{cite news|title=O'Dwyer's high jump failure|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/olympics_2004/athletics/3584904.stm|publisher=BBC Sport|date=20 August 2004|accessdate=17 March 2015}} External links
