City Chasers: Ciarn and Lorcan WITH just two weeks to go until Dublin City Chase champions Ciarn Pollard and Lorcan Walsh represent Ireland in the world finals in Salta, Argentina, training is in full swing. In their exclusive diary for Metro, the pair describe how the warm-up for South America is going and how they have no injuries to report, despite their best intentions. Weve been trying to increase the danger factor on the runs by throwing sticks, fruit and even the odd traffic cone at each other, said Ciarn. Lorcan didnt see the out-of-control shopping trolley coming at him the other day in the local supermarket, but being prepared for the unexpected is what this is all about. Lorcan said: The Spanish practice has not made any progress. We hope the Argentinians are good at charades. Sticks and cones cant hurt Chasers AN IRISH film has won a prize at the worlds largest documentary festival. Colony, the debut feature directed by Ross McDonnell (pictured) and Carter Gunn examining the disappearance of more than a third of the US bee population, won the First Appearance Award at the International Documentary Film Festival in Amsterdam. Alan Maher of the Irish Film Board said: Colony is a beautifully cinematic film and shows the world-class talent in the Irish film industry. The film scooped the 5,000 prize ahead of 14 other entries. US awards buzzing about Irish movie Talent show star SuBos debut album smashes sales records The week the dream came true Chart-topper: Susan Boyle poses with her No.1 album Stateside hit: Boyle performs in New York for NBCs Today show Pictures: Reuters/PA SHE dreamed a dream.And now the dream has come true: Susan Boyles debut album is one of the fastest-selling in history. More than 410,000 copies of I Dreamed A Dream were bought in Britain last week a record for a female artist and for anyones first album. The previous holder of that record was Leona Lewis, whose 2007 effort Spirit sold 375,000 copies in its first seven days on the shelves. The Britains Got Talent stars collection is the fourth fastest-selling of all time behind Oasiss Be Here Now, X&Y by Coldplay and Take Thats Circus. I Dreamed A Dream sold more than the rest of the top five albums last week com- bined. In a statement released through her record label Syco, 48-year-old Boyle said simply: Its fantastic. The album also seems destined to be a hit Stateside. Her spokeswoman said: In America, Susan is already outselling Rihanna, Lady Gaga and 50 Cent with a projected first week sales figures of about 1million. Pop mogul Simon Cowell, who master- minded Boyles rise to the top, said yester- day: Im incredibly proud of Susan as well as being delighted for her. The success could not have happened to a lovelier person. She did it her way and made a dream come true. In Britains Got Talent she opened her mouth and the world fell in love with her, which is why her album has been the fastest selling of any woman making her debut.
