Things Ireland are good at MB - Shooting and Fencing would be a start


Mmmm, Do like Fencing, don't know what standing Ireland has in the Olympics with Shooting or Fencing.

There are great Irish Squash and Wrestling international players, don't honestly know if there are Baseball/Softball Irish international players, stand to be corrected.

The final vote from the IOC on Sunday is the conclusion of the long procedure of presentation from each of the last three sports left competing to be included in the Olympics 2020. It was eight sport types now its down to the final three.

With the vote nomination by the public and the IOC, one sport will be chosen for the Olympics 2020.

Madrid and Istanbul tied for last spot. I'd say Tokyo has it unless all of Madrid's votes break for Istanbul

Will the Istanbul bid prove a turkey or will the IOC find some chinks in the Tokyo bid?
