OlympicIRL

Yes, and 16 nations if I remember right. The music was dreadful

Albania didn't even compete..... so there is a level below even the third league

Just say 2 go down.... and tell your federation to keep quiet

Yes, that is what makes it hard and we know this problem too. That means that if any of your top prospects are absent or have a disaster then you are running up a very steep hill from the start. Now that 3 teams are relegated it makes it harder and Hungary look like they could be dangerous next time too (though it's pretty useless to speculate about anything at this point in time).

Haha, pub closing time must be fun

Well you will very probably have better throwers and better jumpers than Ireland, of that I would be almost certain, as our field events are on a level of the third league . So that is why track events are crucial for us. But yeah, who knows what our situations will be in 2 years' time.... maybe some random life-form will float down from space and decide to pick up a javelin for Ireland. Make it so

Damn you and you low costs . Though probably a good thing that the price of beer is not €0.93 here.... everyone would be in the pubs and nothing would get done

As it is now a biennial competition, you are in the first league for 2019, you won't be in second league until 2021 at earliest and hopefully not even then . Yes, please let it be a good host, it's painful trying to follow it when you can't extract any information or results, let alone a live stream

Woohoo!! Congrats Lithuania Thank God indeed, the First League was too quiet in here this year with all the fun happening in your league. Now with you back and Slovakia in too, should be much better banter . Though one major note of warning to all you promoted teams, we are going to be up against Russia next time! Lord help us . But on the other hand if they are still banned by then that's one less relegation slot to worry about

We are on our way!! Though Séamus became a little wary when I mentioned the trip because last time I told him we were going on a trip we ended up stranded in St.Kilda. As much as he enjoyed the peacefulness and beautiful scenery, the lack of any pub made him grow restless But I promised him that the Slovakians are here and he remembered that they had bought him plenty of beer any time he met with them

According to this report on the official website, that's as much as I can be sure http://www.malta2017.org/news_items/apr_6_pr.php

Only two are relegated to the bottom league so you are safe

Are you sure the photo-finish adjudicators knew the difference between both nations and did not make a mix-up?

Well we dropped from 6th last year to 8th this year so we are a little further from the Super League this time..... so climbing the ranks is not looking good right now . Though we had a relatively young and inexperienced team in many disciplines this time. But super league is just too far for us and realistically, when our field events are always scoring between 1 and 3 points, staying in the First League is always the aim .

Yes, coverage was great this time, thank to Finland We maintained our place in the First League, so just your end of the bargain now to fulfill .

Remember, you guys promised to be promoted this year in order to rejoin Irish-Lithuanian rivalry / banter in the next edition.

Switzerland promoted to the super league!! What a rise for them these last few years

Tero Pikämäki with 88.27m in the men's javelin.... he's still got it

In first league, the wind is causing havoc particularly in the women's long jump.... the Swedish girl registered a no jump in the second round with a -9.3 m/s () headwind while the Estonian girl had a +3.2 m/s wind at her back .

Ireland in 7th place in the First League at the halfway stage. Ready for the survival battle tomorrow

Wow that is a seriously good line up

I used to play all the old Playststion Olympic Games (with the exception of a couple of Winter editions). Playing Beijing 2008 online was always a really fun way to spend an evening. I got into some of the top worldwide records too and had a friendly rivalry with two French guys.... nice times to remember

I think this is the best option . No harm in trying this and it will be really interesting to see if we see a trend of new users joining

I agree with @heywoodu. There is a definite need for more sub-forums here. In the old forum I was way more up-to-date and active in terms of discovering and discussing about events and sports that I generally would not encounter. But here it tends to pass me by because as heywoodu pointed out, I won't click into some threads like "Basketball Discussion Thread" because it generally doesn't interest me. But I probably would click into a thread called "Basketball European Championship News" or something similar to keep myself informed and maybe get a grasp of what is happening. This could very well be a way to find more users. This forum really needs some fresh blood and hopefully they will have more ideas of how to make it better again. Plus the more users we gain, the greater the chances of gaining more users as more and more people discover Totallympics and spread the news.

Mixed everything, how wonderful Well at least we will have a great chance of a medal in the modern pentathlon mixed team event.....oh wait a minute..... Ahh, life is a barrel of laughs. Oh well....
