Tadgh Lynch Presentation 2013

This photo was taken last February at the Irish National Masters CC Champs. The presentation has been given to Jim McNamara of Donore Harriers. This award (Tadgh Lynch Perpetual Trophy) is made annually by the Irish Master Athletes Association in recognition to an Athlete who has made a major contribution to Masters Athletics over a number of years.

The outdoor athletic season has just begun and the Best World Master Athlete Wolfgang Ritte M 60 is in his best age for breaking Serge Bubka’s record.
On May 1st he competed in Wipperfürth in his be-loved event pole vaulting:
3,61 m, 3,81 m, 3,96 m (European record), 4,06 m (world record), 4,11 m (world record) 4,21m stopped him but only that day … the next competition may lift him up higher. Video >>

Wolfgang Ritte, a man with ambitions, a man with goals, a man with passion for athletics.
Until today he has been able to set up 42 European records – 31 were world records just four less than Serge Bubka did in his life. Will he succeed?
