Ladies and Gentlemen, please big applause for the official anthem of the Totallympics International Song Contest:
 

Hello all!

I'm Book. A long time fan of the Olympics but only recently started lurking on this forum, looking for qualification updates. Thought I'd pop in and start talking now, seems like a fun crowd.

I'm from the US, born in Los Angeles and spent most of my life in Oregon, now living in Massachusetts. My first memories of sports was at a rec center built as part of a parks initiative of the 1984 games. After getting the Olympic bug in 2008 I convinced my parents to drive me up to Vancouver in 2010 where we stayed in Canada just long enough to see the first two heats of 2 man bobsleigh. I was luckily able to get some tickets to Football, Athletics, Rhythmic Gymnastics, and Modern Pentathlon for Paris, so my Olympic hype is at an all time high right now. Looking for some sport climbing tickets still.

On the forum I hope to be a resident expert on US Track and Field trials and LA 2028 planning, anything Olympics on the US west coast I'll chat to anyone about. 

 

I will be flying home from a holiday on the day of the Grand Final so I may miss most of it and also my voting time. But I will be travelling home from the airport by bus (4 hours) so it will be a good way to pass the time by catching up on all the fun  

Today is our national holiday, St.Patrick’s Day. Each city, town and village will have their own parade today to celebrate. I will be going to my local parade at 3pm  
 
The Dublin City parade is starting now if anyone is interested to watch:

Total 0 0 0 0 0 0 Italia '80 was the first UEFA (European) tournament to present a mascot, while they were already used for the World Cup and Olympics.

The puppet created by Carlo Collodi, Pinocchio, was chosen and was represented with a balloon under his arm, a tricolor nose and a sailor's cap on his head with the writing Europa 80.

The mascot was not initially given an official name because it was believed that the rights to Pinocchio belonged to Disney. When the Collodi Foundation confirmed that the copyright on the book had expired 50 years ago, the organizing committee renamed the official mascot.

Having a look through the schedule here is some of the big days for Team Ireland
Included a few outside chances here that probably unlikely to medal but not without some realistic chance. On the otherhand I have not included outside chances that may yet come to fruition, for example boxing could have more chances when the team is finalised, men's road race cycling and other outside chances in equestrian (individual jumping).
 
Overall it looks most likely we will win our first medal on Day 4 or 5 and then with a lot of chances coming on the middle weekend. Our first gold could possibly be on Day 7 in the men's lightweight double sculls.

THE LOGO
 

 
The Radio is symbol of TAISC 2024

 
This year marks the centenary of the beginning of radio broadcasts in Italy (October 6th, 1924)


In Italy, which on a technological level was the homeland of radio, use of radio transmissions was permitted only for military purposes,

and a 1910 law prohibited its use by civilians.
Only in 1924, a  late compared to the rest of the world, began the commercial broadcasts.


For the logo the radio chosen is Radio Cubo ts522, this model is designed in 1962 by architects Marco Zanuso and Richard Sapper and marketed since 1964 by Brionvega, an Italian company (active from 1945 to 1994) specialized in the consumer electronics sectors.

Examples of this radio are permanently exhibited at the MOMA in New York and at the modern art museums of La Jolla, Osaka and Sao Paulo.
 


Key dates of italian radio history

In August 1924 the Italian Radio Union (URI) was born, it held the government concession to broadcast and there was only one radio station.
January 1928 - URI becomes EIAR (Italian Auditing Body). Italian radio becomes a means of mass communication
December 13th, 1931 the first radio commentary of the football match was broadcast (Italy vs Hungary)
After the end of the war in 1944, Rai (Radio Audizioni Italiane) was born and the radio entered the homes of the majority of Italians.
In 1950 the reform of the radio system established the creation of three networks
In 1951 the first edition of the Sanremo Festival was broadcast live
In 1976 did the RAI monopoly lapse thanks to a ruling by the Constitutional Court and the broadcasters already active in Italy (around 400), so-called "pirate radio" will then become "free radio"
In the 1980s, private national radio stations began to emerge, many of which are still active today
