Black Highland Athletes

[okiwen]

ALCON,

Got a guy at work that does power lifting contests, figure he's rip for a new challenge. Want to encourage him to look into Highland heavies. Do any of you know of or know any successful black highland athletes or may have some photos for inspiration. Thanks for looking.

Suggestion. Encourage your friend to become a Highland Athlete and not a "Black" Highland Athlete.

Great. Thanks for the comment on PC. Very valuable. Next.

There is at least on black thrower at many of the games here in the Mid Atlantic area. I will try to find some pictures. I am sure he would be welcomed.

My google-fu might be weak, but I suspect there aren't a lot of black dudes competing at highland games, and I think that's a shame. Cycling is the same way, just not a lot of brothers who want to race bikes for some reason.

I did turn up one brief article though:

I hope this will inspire your buddy to get himself a Sport Kilt and go kill it this summer .

I googled the guy in the article, Harrison Bailey, and it turned up some more photos and videos of him throwing. Good stuff.
