Here is an article on the race where O'Lionaird is quoted after the race.

http://www.irishexaminer.com/sport/other-sports/o-lionaird-confident-he-is-hitting-top-gear-as-london-nears-201156.html

"Once I settled in and got through the second lap, I relaxed, kept moving up and I thought I was going to win with 200m to go. I was ready to pull the trigger and I pulled and there was nothing there. I think that’s because it was my first day out.

"Honestly, if I can put myself in a position like that in the Olympics and I can work on that last gear and be able to pull the trigger, I think we are back to where we were last year."

Full results from the meet which included US Olympian Kim Conley winning the 3000 in 9:01.47 can be found here:
