Sweden Edition: TISC Open 2014

Including this year's entries, 771 songs have officially taken part in the Totallympics International Song Contest. 405 songs have officially taken part in the 11 editions of the TISC Open. Over the next few days I will tap into this rich history and post some of the previous TISC Open entries. I will try to post something from each nation that has participated and I will use a random generator to select which songs are presented. Hopefully there will be some forgotten favourites for everyone to enjoy.

There are many songs that remind me of my brother and my sister who passed so I will just post a couple. This song reminds me of my older sister. She was a big fan of Kylie when she first came out and she bought the album on cassette. She would play the album in our kitchen over and over. She had me and the rest of my brothers and sisters dancing to the locomotion, very fond memories And this song reminds me of my brother for a completely different reason. It is not a song he liked, in fact I am not sure if he ever got to hear the song. It reminds me of him because at the time of his passing and the weeks just after, I spent a lot of time in my teenage bedroom listening to music and this song was all over the air waves at the time and every time I hear the song it brings me right back to that time and how I was feeling.

Yes, there are dozens of riders with the potential to medal. Healy is certainly in the list. Given the fact there are so many in contention it’s definitely only an outside chance.

Don’t agree with you there, Healy definitely has an outside chance.

I would put the M2x and M2 as serious medal contenders given they won medals at this year's world championships and are on an upward trajectory. Definitely in with good chances. Also Mona McSharry in the women's 100m breaststroke was just inches away from a medal at this years world championships where she finished 5th. I'd put her in the outside chance category. Leona Maguire in women's golf definitely has an outside shot at a medal also. I'd be inclined to say Mark English and Andrew Coscoran would be off the list. For example, I think even our sailing team or even the eventing squad who I don't fancy at all could be more likely to sneak a medal than either of them. But it's not really on the cards.

Not according to this

Just for fun, if we were to take average finishing position of each voting slot, here is how the TISC Open 2023 final rankings would look. Who is ready to sign on the dotted line? @ManuCHIL @hckošice and @Vektor would probably be happy to On the other hand, things would not be looking quite so rosy for @heywoodu as both Netherlands and Brazil are propping up the table Chile 15.40 Slovakia 15.70 Hungary 16.15 Malta 16.60 Canada 16.74 Sweden 16.81 United States 17.05 China 17.05 Mexico 17.25 Great Britain 17.25 Greece 17.40 Israel 17.40 Croatia 18.05 Portugal 18.28 Argentina 18.40 New Zealand 18.45 Kazakhstan 18.55 Serbia 18.70 Spain 19.00 Italy 19.05 Turkey 19.10 Poland 19.40 Ukraine 19.40 Moldova 19.55 Czech Republic 20.20 Ireland 20.37 India 20.40 France 20.65 Germany 20.70 Slovenia 20.75 Romania 20.80 Denmark 21.05 Lithuania 21.30 Indonesia 21.82 Brazil 23.00 Netherlands 23.65

E6 and the skate park in E3

I'll go ahead and take my turn. Let's go with F3 and there's something about that frog in A1 that seems like a booby trap but I'm drawn to it for better or for worse, so let's give it a try @mrv86 you can count this for my next pick

The worst thing would be becoming immune to the smell and then when you leave town everyone wonders who's the guy reeking of garlic

Czechoslovakia are AWOL here

C6 and F1

Garlic ice cream and smelling garlic while driving and walking through the city.... I am with the vampires on this one, sorry

I love garlic but not sure I want that level of garlic in my life

Just 12 more nations to find homes for 13 actually.... looks like I am starting to feel the effects of our visit to the Iron Door Saloon already

I'll go ahead and take my pick. Let's go with D6 and the beautiful yellow butterfly in D6.

No it was A6 actually, I see now that it was folded up pairs of denim. I couldn't make out what those swirl patterns were from the grid

I'll go for C3 and whatever that is in A6

Ahh crap! Looks like Seamus will be going on the run in America once again

Funnily enough and rather incredibly, the earliest Slovakia has ever voted is in position 7. They have participated in every contest so that's really strange
