OlympicIRL

Absolutely not It includes catching up on the track cycling worlds from yesterday and some SpongeBob SquarePants in between as a compromise

No work today or tomorrow!! Closed due to the beast from the east and storm Emma . Time for some hot cocoa and a day in front of the telly

I will take equestrian....... Just kidding!! @dcro I guess this will be your baby I can take athletics. Lord help me, it won't be easy . But I like to keep some track of athletic qualifiers anyway so might as well commit to helping out here . I guess I could do badminton too, but if someone else wants it then I'll be happy to give it up.

Is there an entry list available?

So here are my thoughts on the situation.... Whether @bestmen was true in saying he was voting at random or whether he was just making a mess, his behaviour in these contests in recent years has been very poor, there is no dressing that up in a more diplomatic way. And I admit I enjoy a lot of the humour he generates and I do believe that he truly does have a love for the contest (in fact I don't doubt that for a second), however, we cannot see a repeat of the disrespect he has been showing to hosts and other participants in recent editions. @bestmen I do think it would be sad to have TISC without you in it, but not for your negative comments, because of the other things you bring. It is amusing when you are being bitter about votes and your gifs are certainly a TISC tradition. On the other hand it is not one bit amusing when you are attacking the hosts and accusing people of cheating. So I take your registration as a commitment that you will behave in the correct spirit this time and abide by the rules, they are there for a reason and to make sure that such awkward and unnecessary situations such as we see now are avoided. To say you were just voting at random was really low, to attack hosts putting in time and effort to organise is low, to accuse people of cheating and influencing the votes of others is low. These things go without saying. Now can we please get back to what we do best, having a blast and talking about tangerines? I am eating one now (no lie ).

Ireland equaled our record medals tally at WOG, not bad

There it goes. Bye bye PyeongChang

Make it stop.

She probably just learned that he was Olympic champion in fencing in 1976 and wanted to congratulate him.

If he so much as mentions the word urban in his speech.......

You mean that time when he became Olympic champion in fencing in 1976?

It is a little known fact but yes.

I know Thomas Bach was the 1976 Olympic champion in fencing....

And another Thomas Bach fencing mention in case we didn't already know

Okay, so this is weird, @thepharoah seems to have reacted twice to this post

Brendan Newby will carry the flag for

I don't mind it because it is an unusual situation.... I mean it happens in less than 1% of Olympic events (I would guess) so that is acceptable for me

I don't have problems with a tie for gold either

Korea and Germany tie for silver!

Really like these girls from Korea, they are classy even in defeat. I feel for them right now but I hope to see much more of them

Yes, the home crowd really aren't clued up . I think that might change in the coming years though as I m hoping and expecting that the success of the Garlic Girls will inspire the nation. Sweden have played an excellent game, not asked to play anything too difficult in this final but they have not put a foot wrong.

Does your detox involve sleep?

Yes, though at least they could blame the conditions

Worst event of the Games, awful final. I appreciate they were all trying to pull big tricks out of the bag but everyone falling on their face has made for a very boring final.

This final is not engaging me at all. Too many falls.
