Shame on Cork City Sports organisers for failing to include any throwing events !

It was the Hammer throwers that put them on the map, shame on them.

Leo is correct that the HT world record put Cork on the map. I met a French hammer thrower who when finding out I was Irish, exclaimed "Irlande, Cork! World capital of hammer throw!"

Cork is know world-wide for that night. The shame is that the best in the world would travel to throw at that venue. It could still be a great throws meeting and world accliamed at that if only there was an ounce of business acumen and promotion in the BLE/AAI.
