Totallympics Annual International Song Contest 2025 

 

 

 

Thank you Greece! The home fans go wild as Ireland receive the 12 points from the Greek jury.

It's Ireland's 5th gold medal of the contest and pushes them over the 100-points milestone!

 

It also comes at a crucial point as we conclude the first-half of the contest with Ireland holding a 31 point advantage over nearest challengers France.

 

The battle is just hotting up however and we are just at the halfway mark with 17 of the 34 juries having cast their votes.

We go for a long break now of 2 hours and 30 minutes! Plenty of time to get some rounds in at the bar or for the more civilised, perhaps a chance to sample some local cuisine!

 

Join us again for session 3 of TISC Annual 2025 at 16:00 GMT

I heard this during the FESA Cup cross-country in Seefeld last weekend, I was somewhat surprised to hear that being blased out of the speakers  

 

And today in Falcade I heard Cuoricini being played across the tracks, wasn't expecting to hear two TAISC songs 'in the wild' within a week  

 

As I said hige apres-ski hit in the German speaking areas

Pairs Event

 

 

We now know the 16 nations that will participate in the Pairs Competition that kicks-off in the second-half of the contest.

It involves the 12 nations who were eliminated in the team event in sessions 1 and 2 and they are joined by the 4 lowest ranked nations individually at the halfway point.

 

Pairs are balanced by pairing the best ranked team with the lowest ranked team and so on. Links to the rules for the pairs event can be found in the opening post in this thread.

 

 

So here are your 8 pairs

I deliberately scheduled a long interval now so I can attend to "normal" life activities before coming back to the second-half.

Thanks to everyone who is staying active and posting throughout... makes it so much more enjoyable as always
