NZ in top 5

That's it, we break up definitely

finally points! Thanks

Still zero Curious top 5.

That was great from Iga! I would love her to continue improving her game on hard, cause this August/September part with losses to Pegula and Gauff (ugh....) then Kudermetova and Ostapenko were really all tough to take for a fan. It is just amazing how she bounced back and won Beijing and and now WTA Finals! Deserved YE #1, and now to attack AO title Ah yes, given that OG in Paris will be played on clay, it is great opportunity to add gold medal to already impressive trophy cabinet

A Halloweenie song from NZ Who'll keep the wind From falling on my grave And I just don't care Guess I'll just sit here Who'll stop the sky From falling in my eye Well I just don't care I guess I'll just sit here Lying here in my grave I really don't know how to behave I guess I'll try Yes, I guess I'll try Lying here in this hole I don't know if I'm a man or a mole But I'll try Yes, I guess I'll try Singing all the songs And I don't know if I'll be around Before I go Gotta go I'm fortunate that I am free I know that you were meant to be The sweet I guess I don't know why They say we are in love We say that we are in love We say we are in love We are in love Who'll stop the sky From getting in my eyes And I just don't care I just don't care Lying in my grave I don't think that I really should behave I just don't care I just don't care You had me over my chair

Cheerful

Except for England-Fiji maybe, all others will be pop-corn matches. Ireland seems determined to finally make SF and All Blacks are not what they have been couple of years ago...

Congrats Portugal! That was fun. Fiji in QF, but the road ends there I am afraid.

Portugal to get a win at WC before Namibia

Sorry for the delay, I had heard time choosing a song for the anniversary, and I changed it in the last moment, as I didn't want to go with The Chills again, for the third time.

New Zealand Connan Mockasin - Do I Make You Feel Shy

Summer 2011, when I started my master studies

It's ten year anniversary so it would be nice if at least some of the old guards are still around to celebrate the longevity of this gathering. Twelve and a half years of Totallympics, ten years of TISC!

Her mom is a poet, Sonja Jelic. If I remember correctly even she was born in NZ. There is some connection between people from Dalmatia region in Croatia and NZ. Marina Erakovic the only player winning a WTA singles title for NZ in this century (and I think it was the first one after Belinda Cordwell winning back in the year when I was born ) has also Dalmatian heritage.

Definitely not the best one

Lorde is about to represent two countries at once

You would be prosecuted and publicly stoned

Can't wait to hear Lithuanian song is in
