Cornelius Edward "Con" Walsh (24 April 1885 – 7 December 1961) was an Irish Canadian athlete who represented Canada at the 1908 Summer Olympics.[1] He was born in Carriganimma. He won a bronze medal in the hammer throw, finishing third behind fellow Irishmen John Flanagan and Matt McGrath, both of whom represented the United States.[2] Another Irishman, Robert Kerr also represented Canada at the same games. Walsh had earlier played Gaelic football and represented Cork.[3]
Walsh also competed for both the Irish American Athletic Club[4] and the New York Athletic Club.[5] He was part of a group of Irish weight throwers that were collectively known as the "Irish Whales."Шаблон:Fact
In 1910 Walsh set the record for throwing the 56 pound weight for height, breaking Pat McDonald's record by throwing the weight 16 feet 7/8 inches high (5.07 metres) at the second annual athletic meet of the New York Press Club Athletic Association.[6]
