This way Europe keeps up the 100% medal score at these European Championships, duh.

Singning the Polish anthem a capella was panned by everyone here in Poland. Apparently the organizers had to apologize for this idea and then played the classic music version after that. Moreover Haratyk criticized the idea of having a shot put competition in the city. He said that's good enough for these paid meetings but a championship event should be held exclusively in the stadium. So, no this event doesn't get top marks from Polish athletics at all.

The shot put competition does have nothing to do with the victory ceremony, so it makes no sense to even mention it here. The a capella national anthems were embarrassing indeed, but they already changed that. I am not surprised that polish athletes found a reason to criticize (given the political situation in Poland), but obviously they dont understand that athletics has to get closer to the actual people if it wants to keep their interest. The victory ceremony is bringing the athletes as close to the actual fans as never before and the huge majority of athletes was absolutely happy about this format for the victory ceremonies.

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

oh c`mon - Przybyłko, i hope you can keep positive distance from it

You mean because of his last name? Like Baumgart is a german last name and therefore germany won a gold medal for Poland?

not all nations use foreign athletes to pretend they are strong, not all nations and not all people feel it`s normal. My mind is clear about it, it`s easy shortcut but it`s a lie. I mean that it`s legal etc but it is a bit...hmmm.....unfair. Well...maybe each nation has 3 marathon runners from Africa - Iceland too...isn`t it a farce a bit? Not my problem

I fell in love with sports.....since i first seen it

Politics has nothing to do with it, Haratyk simply said he doesn't like the idea of a championship event being held in a city rather than a stadium, period.

    • And with the oaths now having been taken, ladies and gentlemen, would you please now stand for the  national anthem.     
    • Ladies and Gentlemen, in the spirit of fair play, the official oaths will now be taken.   Dua Lipa  Competitors' Oath:  In the name of all competitors, I promise that we shall take part inthis Contest, respecting and abiding by the rules that govern TISC- committing ourselves to a competition that values respect and the true spirit of sportsmanship, for the glory of music and the honor of our nations!     Rybak  Jury Members' Oath: In the name of all the jury members, I promise that we shall adjudicate in our deliberations at this Contest with complete impartiality, respecting and abiding by the rules which govern TISC in the true spirit of sportsmanship!       Cinnamon Bun  Hosts' Oath: I promise that I shall organize this Contest, respecting and abiding by the rules that govern TISC - committing myself to overseeing a competition that values respect and promotes the true spirit of sportsmanship, for the glory of music and the honor of our nations!
    • And finally coming onto our 2023 TISC champion Ed Sheeran once again singing Galway Girl it's  represented by Maximo Park!!      Great Britain @Cinnamon Bun      
    • Next up it's George Ezra performing his 2015 TAISC song Listen To The Man      Portugal @kungshamra71      Romania @IoNuTzZ      Serbia @NikolaB      Slovenia @justony        Spain @Cobi      Sweden @Belle      Tunisia @amen09      Turkey @Memo      Ukraine @avlar      United States Of America @dezbee2008

    • In my opinion, Trump is a very difficult opponent: he has hard electorate, not voters and if he does something wrong, his electorate forgives him. Secondly, he is an experienced man with a TV past who is doing great in the campaign. He is old but his health is good and it`s hard to beat someone like that. In 2020, Biden won mainly because of Covid and Trump's terrible decisions (Biden also won not by that much then). In my opinion, if the Republicans had put up a polite and well-mannered politician like Mitt Romney, Harris would have had a much easier time winning against him. If Trump were weak, he wouldn`t be allowed to run again after his defeat in 2020.
    • Who will be the  charitable soul with desire to swap with me?   By the way: is tomorrow or in Sunday?
