Yeah, I’m gonna be That Guy – what’s remarkable about it? An elite athlete having the required equipment from an early age is kinda normal now? People don’t really take up something at 28 and compete in Olympics at 30 any more
Yet my grandad can’t have a shed without permission?
If I had a hammer, I’d hammer in the morning!
Man this is class. I’ve little knowledge of athletics in Ireland, but how easy is it to find facilities for some of these more obscure track and field events? Does every club have a pool for steeplechase or a cage for hammer throwing?
Generally don’t follow any sports at all, aside from some motor racing, but at what point does a 15 year old think, “I’ll take up the hammer throw”? That’s what is most fascinating.
I can understand certain demographics being exposed to the equestrian world from an early age, or young lads down a local boxing club, etc., but the more *obscure* pursuits… how the hell do they get into it? Are schools today that diverse in what they offer as extra curricular activities?
