Days after two men died during the swim portion of an Ironman race in Ireland, race organizers and the country's official governing body disagree on whether safety concerns were made clear before or after athletes got into the water.
It said that decision was confirmed with race organizers ahead of time.
"As there is an investigation ongoing, at this stage it would not be appropriate for us to make any further comment only to state that Triathlon Ireland will provide any assistance that the authorities require." "Several hours after the swim was completed, they communicated to the onsite Ironman Ireland officials that they would not approve the sanctioning for the event," an email read.Sporting events are sanctioned to confirm with athletes, coaches and the general public that the event has met local requirements to run safely and fairly. As the country's governing body, Triathlon Ireland would have been the organization to officially approve the Ironman in Cork.
