It’s a decent result though for a Tier 2 nation and good news for the World Cup. Hoping not to see too many blow outs at this year’s tournament.

39-21 is a respectable score for them.

Ireland is in

Option 2... though I never could pull all nighters. Instead I would always get up really early in the morning and try to cram in as much as possible

For me it is Beijing 2008 by a distance for many reasons. But most of all I will never ever forget this magical moment when Li Ning was hoisted up to the roof of the stadium revealing the moving scroll as he made his way around the stadium with that really poignant music. And then the way the fire zipped around the cauldron and burst into flame. It was a beautifully artistic way of lighting the torch Edit: sadly I can't copy the video here, but starting at 4:09:01

And some green men too

Last week . But until the Danish committee can pull together then who knows

Something is rotten in the state of Denmark.... or at least within the Danish national committee.... some news fresh off the press https://tisc-news.totallympics.com/?p=2378

Chile participated in the last 2 TISCs (Annual 2019 and Open 2018) and this will be their third Open Contest in a row. They also claimed my 12 points at the last 2 TISC Opens so @Manulete no pressure

Oh God, I am only catching the news now. What a sad day for the forum. Like others have said already, he was a valued member of our community and he will be missed. RIP Rodrigo and prayers with his family and those of you who knew him well

I don’t like olives either. Tried them a few times and just can’t take to them.

Canada v Ireland in hockey.... thank the Lord it's not on the ice

Expecting absolutely nothing from these championships for our team. Our only medal winner last time has gone pro and generally there is no real buzz around Irish amateur boxing these days (maybe only for the women's team). We never recovered from the shame of losing our top coach Billy Walsh to America (our federation are always in-fighting) and Rio 2016 just killed whatever embers were left.

It would have been their first ever point in Euro qualifying too having lost all previous 55 matches.

Soon...there will be no escape... TISC #13 Totallympics Open International Song Contest 2019 Coming this September... Are you ready?

Not looking good

We don’t know a lot about our own planet especially our deep oceans.

Makes sense.

When are they introducing the 50km walk to the Diamond League circuit?

Yes that is a mat

You have a moustache fetish?

Well said Matt and thanks for sharing it with us

In Denmark, some minor tremors are being recorded on seismographs. Something must be stirring there...
