OlympicIRL

I decided to remember one of the most sad event of this year for Italy. I decided to pick 24, the date of the 1st earthquake (24 august) that has destroyed our country and brown, a sad color, sad like the italian's feelings

As much as I'd love Fifty Shades of Grey, I'll have to make do with 10 Shades of Grey this time

My favourite would be:

No need to apologise, you don't owe anyone here a thing. And thanks for all your dedication, not to mention the hard work and time you devoted to these contests since you took over as manager.

Which is the most successful TISC Nation?
 
Since its premiere in 2013, six TISC contests have been successfully held. As we eagerly await for the 7th edition to be held in Lithuania next month, we ask ourselves: Which nation has had the most success in TISC contests? Ireland is the first nation that comes to mind, as it is the only one with two wins. And that is very much the right answer, however we will use a couple of different methods to determine how much success each and every TISC nation has been having so far.
 
We start by looking at grand total of all points that each nation got throughout the first six editions. Ireland is once again in the first place, with astonishing 1013 points. Interestingly, Ireland's 1000th point came thanks to the Italian jury at the latest TISC held in Slovakia. At the moment Ireland is the only one with more than 1000 points, as Great Britain in second place has 912 points. They are followed by France (707), Italy (690) and Germany (645). To put Ireland's massive grand total into perspective, if USA (6th all-time with 617) got 12 points from each jury in Lithuania and Ireland finished with null-points, Ireland would still be in front!
 
Full rankings can be seen below.
 
 

All-Time Points
 
However, total number of points might not be the best way to establish the all-time rankings, considering that not all nations have competed at every edition of the TISC. To get a clearer picture, we can use the average score that each nation got from all of the juries that ever voted. Ireland is again first, with the average of 4.82 pts from 210 different, non-Irish, juries. Great Britain is again 2nd with 4.34 while Germany is now 3rd with 3.64. They are followed by Australia (3.62), Vietnam (3.61), Indonesia (3.45), France (3.37) and Italy (3.29).
 
Full rankings can bee seen below.
 
There is one thing where Ireland is not the best. Great Britain is the only nation that scored more than 100 points in every contest. At the 2014 Annual contest Ireland failed to do so as they got stuck on 97 points. Only 13 nations have managed to win 100+ pts at more than one contest, so regularly going over 100 pts is rather an impressive achievement.
 
So how can my nation improve its all-time stats?
By getting a lot of points, of course! To give you more precise answer, we've calculated what your nation needs to do in Lithuania in order to match its previous performances. Incredibly, Ireland needs to get 154 points just to be on-par with its previous achievements. It must be a hard a job to be an Irish selector with all that glory that needs to be lived up to!

Here's something
 

Don't worry, no one in their right mind would confuse the two
 

I saw the schedule for today.. @hckosice why Slovakia will play an internal match?
 
Only joke, oc  

To make everything clear:
 
I don't know the username of the user who registered with username "niger" some hours ago and I would like to never know it, because I do not want to "discriminate" in the future the user who did that. I am just sure it was a false registration because the user was not connecting from Niger and already has an account here.
 
I do not want to lose time checking who is the user who did that, but of course I will have to do it he/she will try again. So I am sure that if this user is reading this, will not try again to do that
 
As a general rule, don't do that because you will always get caught

Another contest and another sabotage... I think that our "lovely" penguins wanted debut under Niger flag 

THE CORRS -
I had 2 tapes like this
 
 

 
 
 
my favorite was "LISTEN TO THE RADIO"
                                       
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           
                                       
 

The Totallympics Open International Song Contest 2016 Lithuania Official Logo Has Been Revealed!
 

 
The official logo represents both the national Lithuania's flags colours and the way that champions are greeted when they come back home after their victory in a competition.
Yellow: It symbolises the trophy of the winner
Green: Laurel leaves that symbolise the champion, usually the champions are greeted with garlands made from Laurel's or Oak leaves.
Red: Symbolises the flower, because when the champions come back home they are often showered with flowers.
And last, but not least, what brings this whole competition together is of course our love for music.
 
Thanks to Vinipereira for being amazing and making my vision a reality

It was basically me writing to them: "Hey, perhaps you're interested in music? You are? Great! Maybe you're interested in sports as well? Uhm, no? Okay then" The best part used to be trying to explain to them what the competition even is "This is something like Eurovision, but the whole world is included and it's on a much smaller scale." This also reminds me of the times when I actually contacted some of the Lithuanian representatives to inform them how well they did and I probably only confused them. It's kinda weird now, because I run in to them occasionally at events and gigs.

Our medal target of 8 medals exceeded with our 9th medal at these Games from Niamh McCarthy. It was a low target but so was our Olympic target and we didn't even reach that
 

8 medals are definitely cool too I think Good luck to your athletes, hope they will enjoy the games have a lot of fun and great memories and return back with many medals

and btw John Twomey of Ireland is going to compete his 11th paralympics He started as a table tennis player, later he became a discus thrower and in the couple of last paralympics he compete in sailing

Awaiting official confirmation but sources from the Lithuanian organising committee speculated about the TISC Open final being held late October / early November.
So expect the new contest thread to be opened soon as we will soon need to begin with registration, and then national selections
 

So it's an end of an era this week with the retirement of Irish legend Robbie Keane from international football. It was quite sad and emotional watching him play his final ever game for Ireland on Wednesday . He has been such a wonderful servant for us and always showing unwavering commitment for the green jersey.
 
Thanks for all the wonderful memories Robbie, you are forever an Irish hero .
 
Of all the wonderful and beautiful goals that he scored in the green jersey, it is this goal which he scored at the World Cup in 2002 that will forever stay in the hearts and minds of the Irish public:
