Lawyer targets three-legged marathon mark
Colin Carroll, a 33-year-old from Fermoy, Co Cork, who describes himself as a “sports visionary”, is creating an alternative to the August 8 Beijing games with some madcap track, field and gymnastic events.
He’s already sold the idea to the Americans and Dutch who have promised to send teams to Ireland to compete in what Carroll describes as “an Olympics which reaches out to the common man”.
