How about this for a journey! The photo above shows 21-year old Nicola Tuthill from Kilbrittain in Co Cork in action at the Women’s Hammer Throw at the 2025 World Athletics Championships in Tokyo.
Going into the competition ranked 20th in terms of season's bests, she threw the hammer 69.49 metres to finish 11th in the world.
The photo below from a few years ago shows Nicola aged 15 with her dad Norman building a throwing circle at their farm in Kilbrittain.

Well done Nicola -- a wonderful achievement.
That is a beautiful photo
Having Watched An 'Ear To The Ground' Programme About Nicola I Was Very Inspired
