Make an Olympic bid

THE 1972 Olympics are featured in a controversial Steven Spielberg movie called Munich later this month - but pentathlon athlete Margaret Murphy was there at the real games.

Now, she's skipping over a county border from the edge of Co Cork to the Kerry coast. Margaret and husband Paud are selling their home of 41 years in Ballyvourney in Co Cork.

Her Olympic training was done on roads, hills, slopes and boreens of Ballyvourney in the 1960s and she competed in the 1972 Munich games, possibly the most famous sporting event of all time. Eight Arab commandos broke into the Olympic village and killed two Israeli team members and took nine hostages. All nine died later in a shoot-out with German police.
