Bronze for Mark

Why are we already having the handover "ceremony" when there is still much more action left and medals left to be won?

Gold for Cyprus!!

IRELAND After much deliberation, Ireland is proud to present the band Kodaline as the Irish representative for the Totallympics Annual International Song Contest 2019. "Shed A Tear" which featured on their latest album entitled "Politics of Living" is a song about empathy in the face of struggle and a message of reassurance that there is someone there for you and that you are not alone, even in your darkest hour. I hope you enjoy. Kodaline - Shed A Tear  Lyrics: It's harder to see through the eyes of a stranger It's easier to love when the world doesn't hate you When you try to sing out but nobody hears a word It's safer to swim when the tide's not against you You've been here before I know you've been here before Never letting go And giving up is letting go Never fight alone But you don't have to fight alone I shed a tear for you Open your eyes, I'm by your side I'm never leaving you Darkness to light, stay through the night I'm walking in your shoes So you know that it's the truth When nobody's here for you Let me make it clear That I shed a, I shed a tear (Shed a tear, shed a tear, shed a tear Shed a tear, shed a tear) And I feel your pain when I know you're in trouble And I'll take the blame from your hurt in your struggle And when you're trying to speak out, but nobody hears a word I'll be your voice, lay your head on my shoulder Oh (you've been here before) I know you've been here before Never letting go And nothing is impossible Never fight alone You don't have to fight alone I shed a tear for you Open your eyes, I'm by your side I'm never leavin' you Darkness to light, stay through the night I'm walking in your shoes So you know that it's the truth When nobody's here for you Let me make it clear That I'll shed a, I'll shed a tear (Shed a tear, shed a tear, shed a tear) And when you're livin' in your darkest hour And when you're gettin' closer to the edge I shed a tear for you Open your eyes, I'm by your side I'm never leavin' you Darkness to light, stay through the night I'm walkin' in your shoes So you know that it's the truth When nobody's here for you Let me make it clear I'll shed a, I'll shed a tear (Shed a tear, shed a tear, shed a tear) I'll shed a, I'll shed a tear

Not bad for a hurdler

Volkooooooooo

Well done Poland and Ewa Swoboda. Great to see such emotion in victory

Yes, after a Scottish athlete was DQ'd for barging.... an Irish English and a Scotsman.... we have the basis of a joke here

Marco in interview with BBC... "I'm back. Thanks to Glasgow, thanks to England".

Silver medal for Natalya at first World Cup of the year in Cairo

What a lovely article... you can see the strong bond between rider and horse. JP sounds adorable with all his quirks. I love the part about him beheading his toys

Meh, you and your technicalities Well I won’t prevent it, but still think the Festival of Music is relevant in terms of being the place to show each other the music we found from unrepresented nations.

I like though that we use the Festival of Music as a way of getting to represent other nations around the world and I think it's better to have users representing their own nations and national juries in the contest. Why don't we just have a poll like we did last year asking users to vote for their favourite songs from the Festival of Music?

Another National Record for Judy and Vancouver K.... and a podium at a World Cup! I hope RTÉ reports this wonderful news in their sports bulletin later!

Tefera has just run 3:31.04 mins and broken El Guerrouj's Indoor 1500m WR at the Birmingham Grand Prix meeting. Still only 19 years old!

Welcome to the community @up and down

Fantastic

Live athletics from Athlone this evening on Irish tv... not sure if this link will work for you but I'll post it anyway: https://www.tg4.ie/en/live/home/

@Hipooo we don’t forget Czech Republic too. Would be nice to see a return for so that the Czechoslovak Trophy can be more competitive, right @hckosice ?

@Sindo the problem of ads covering the content of posts seems to have returned.

I love the UK entry this year

So there will be a 20km and a 30km event at the Oregon 2021 World championships..... that's ludicrous.

Ireland will participate

3 golds and 4 silvers.... very unlikely but it looks pretty on paper at least
