#BIRTHDAY: André from Armenia is 43 today It’s début time, and one that saw an expansion into the Caucasus – that area some claim is Europe and some claim is Asia. We’re not going to discuss that geographical question here. Today’s birthday boy Անդրեյ Սերգեյի Հովնանյան/André Sergey Hovnanyan, […]

#BIRTHDAY: Annet Artani from Cyprus is 45 today Who wouldn’t love to see a win by Cyprus? A contest in the sun, probably on the coast, and a place wanting to publicise their country after a maiden victory. Cyprus has tried, tried and tried again. A runner-up spot […]
#BIRTHDAY: Polina Smolova from Belarus is 41 today Those semi-finals are always bloodbaths. You can probably pick a semi-final winner, but ten get through so there are often surprises.
