He was trying to prove to heywoodu how fast he was and he pushed it too hard
-
I’m not sure but I imagine pretty fast. Ireland had a good junior sprinter who was running 10.4 100m and 20.69 in 200m as an 18 year old and he converted to rugby sevens and Fiji seem to have even faster guys in rugby sevens than us. So not sure what times they are running but that perhaps gives you some indication.

Woohoo! We made the final

Namibia 36-0 Kenya Namibia qualify for their 7th Rugby World Cup (they haven't missed a single edition since making their debut in 1999). They go into Pool A alongside hosts France, New Zealand, Italy and Uruguay. Namibia are still looking to win their first match at a World Cup having failed in 19 attempts. Kenya enter the World Repechage tournament which offers one final ticket to make it to the 2023 World Cup. Chile 21-22 United States Chile are still in the fight to qualify for their first ever World Cup, losing narrowly to the USA in the first leg of their 2-legged play-off in Santiago. The return leg is scheduled for next Saturday in Colorado, USA. Chile already knocked out Canada, ending the Canadians perfect record of appearing in every World Cup. The winner of this 2-legged tie will qualify directly for the World Cup while the loser will enter the World Repechage for one final shot at qualifying. This repechage will be contested by 4 nations with the winner claiming the last spot in the World Cup Finals. Portugal and Kenya are 2 of those contenders, with the loser of Chile / USA joining them alongside the Asia/Pacific play-off runner-up (most likely Hong Kong as Tonga should easily defeat them in the play-off).

Ireland Team For Oregon World Championships Ireland is sending a team of 19 athletes for the upcoming World Championships in Oregon. Ciara Mageean, Phil Healy and Fionnuala McCormack have withdrawn to focus instead on the European Championships in Munich. The most exciting athlete is 19-year-old Rhasidat Adekele as she qualified for both the 200m and 400m but she will concentrate on the 400m only. Her range of distances from 60m up to 400m is impressive and she still does not train specifically for 400m so when she begins to focus on that distance she could run some special times. She will also be an asset to our future 4x400m women's and mixed relay teams on the road to Paris 2024. Apart from that, it is probably going to be a very low-key world championships for Ireland but I am excited to see how Dave Kenny performs in the 20km walk. As per usual, Ireland will have absolutely no representatives in field events. Men's 400m Chris O'Donnell Men's 800m Mark English Men's 1500m Andrew Coscoran Men's 400m Hurdles Thomas Barr Men's 20km Walk David Kenny Men's 35km Walk Brendan Boyce Women's 400m Rhasidat Adeleke Women's 400m Sophie Becker Women's 800m Louise Shanahan Women's 1500m Sarah Healy Women's 100m Hurdles Sarah Lavin Women's 4x100m Relay Rhasidat Adeleke, Molly Scott, Sarah Lavin, Joan Healy, Sarah Leahy, Lauren Roy, Adeyemi Talabi Mixed 4x400m Relay Chris O'Donnell, Jack Raftery, Luke Lennon-Ford, Rhasidat Adeleke, Sophie Becker, Sharlene Mawdsley

He is Northern Irish and Irish. Of course he should be allowed to compete. People from Northern Ireland have the right to choose their nationality, it’s not for gymnastics to decide. It’s ignorance on their part to assume he has to be Northern Irish and British.
-
I never heard about it either but I know you have at least half a brain so I knew you wouldn’t be saying this seriously
-
Silver medal for our men which is also a best ever finish
-
I am still in the process of collecting the stats from the most recent edition of the contest and will update all of the individual nation pages as soon as I have it. However, in the meantime if anyone would like me to research any particular stat about TISC, feel free to post your request here in this thread and I will have a look into it for you . You can even post a list if you want and I will check them out one by one

Azerbaijan also got 0 points in the televote in their semi-final but still qualified thanks to 96 jury votes..... I didn't realise the AIBA were in the juries
-
Errrmm, yes..... not the best but I'm still glad for Ukraine
-
This is my first listen to the Ukraine song so I'm interested to hear what the quality is like
-
People always complain about jury voting but the televoting is far more of a shambles
-
This is true as well I need to begin a new contest and start over
-
Ireland in 1996 after their seventh Eurovision victory..... Ireland in 2022.... holding onto the crown but it's rusted and decayed and all signs of life are deader than dead
-
Just not true at all
-
No set date as of yet but it typically begins late September and runs for six weeks until end of October or start of November. In the meantime you could re-live the very first edition which was won by Sweden
-
I know it's late replying to this now but I am just going through the thread to gather stats for the TISC history thread and I thought this would be an interesting one to check out: Having 8 nations still pointless after 6 rounds of jury voting is on the upper end of the negative scale, but it isn't in fact the record. TISC Open 2015 takes that unhappy crown with a whopping 10 nations still pointless by that stage in the voting! TISC Open 2016 on the otherhand was very generous in its points distribution as every single nation was off the mark by the time jury 6 finished voting! Edition Nations Still Without Points After 6 Juries Voted TISC Open 2013 6 TISC Annual 2014 4 TISC Open 2014 9 TISC Annual 2015 3 TISC Open 2015 10 TISC Annual 2016 2 TISC Open 2016 0 TISC Annual 2017 4 TISC Open 2017 6 TISC Annual 2018 6 TISC Open 2018 4 TISC Annual 2019 4 TISC Open 2019 3 TISC Annual 2020 3 TISC Open 2020 5 TISC Annual 2021 4 TISC Open 2021 6 TISC Annual 2022 8 Also @Vektor you asked after 5 rounds of jury voting if: At this point, Ireland only had 3 points and as the stats below show, this was indeed the worst start for Ireland both in terms of points scored and point-per-jury average (PPJ): Edition Number of Points for Ireland after Jury 5 P.P.J. for Ireland after Jury 5 TISC Open 2013 20 4.00 TISC Annual 2014 18 3.60 TISC Open 2014 31 6.20 TISC Annual 2015 29 5.80 TISC Open 2015 14 2.80 TISC Annual 2016 26 5.20 TISC Open 2016 40 8.00 TISC Annual 2017 12 3.00 TISC Open 2017 24 6.00 TISC Annual 2018 9 1.80 TISC Open 2018 23 4.60 TISC Annual 2019 47 9.40 TISC Open 2019 14 2.80 TISC Annual 2020 16 3.20 TISC Open 2020 30 6.00 TISC Annual 2021 20 5.00 TISC Open 2021 15 3.00 TISC Annual 2022 3 0.60
