City Sports streamed live to the world

The Cork City Sports athletics meet will tonight be streamed live to the world for the first time.

Some of the world’s top athletes, who use the meet as preparation for the Commonwealth Games which take place in Glasgow later in the month, will compete at Cork Institute of Technology (CIT) from 5.30pm.

Among the stars are world race walking champion Robert Heffernan. In his first race on home soil since winning the 50km walk at the World Championships in Moscow last August, he will be targeting the World Masters 3km race walk record which he set at last year’s meet.
