Colin is an Irish lawyer, sport scientist, TV presenter and writer. He is Elephant Polo World Champion (Nepal, 2005), became Ireland’s first ever competitor in the Sumo World Championships (Japan, 2006) and holds one-half of the World Record in the 3-legged marathon (Cork, 2008). Colin established various sports governing bodies including Sumo Ireland and Synchro Ireland as well as Paddy Games.
