Hi guys! Unfortunately I had a crazy week at work (still having, to be honest), so I have to delay the Festival of Music for some hours, more precisely to tonight at 20h00 (Brasília time), because I'm still preparing some things. As usual, the Festival will stay on for days so you guys can post songs from nations that aren't participating at the contest this year. I'm sorry for the inconvenience but I promise this won't happen at the weekend of the song contest - as I won't be working at my office on Saturday and have resquested to be free at Friday from my other job. Thank you all.

Down the Memory Lane: TISC Venues Exactly 14 days left to the Grand Final.

2018 IIHF Ice Hockey Women's World Championship Division I Group A In Vaujany, , 8-14 April 2018 Participants: Austria, Norway, Denmark, Hungary, France, Slovakia Saturday April 14th, 2018 - Round-Robin Last Day Results (GMT +2) 12:30 Austria 3 - 0 Norway 16:00 Denmark 0 - 3 Hungary 19:30 France 7 - 1 Slovakia Final Standing 1. France 12 Qualified for the Women´s World Championships 2019 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. Austria 9 3. Hungary 9 4. Denmark 6 5. Norway 6 6. Slovakia 3 EDIT: Because the Top Division will expand to 10 teams next year, there no relegated team from this Division I A this year

For 2022, there will be a qualification system for each sport. My suggestions: -Athletics - Use the IAAF rankings to determine qualifiers and limit field size to certain numbers using past participation as the standard. -Basketball (3x3): Top 8 teams per gender (including hosts) in the FIBA Rankings -Badminton: Top 16 teams in the rankings qualified. Limit the singles/doubles fields as well. -Boxing: Top 12 athletes in the world rankings per event should qualify, with 16 wild cards to be awarded equally among men/women. -Judo: Top 9 in the world rankings + 1 wild card per event. -Diving: I don't think diving needs a system, the numbers are good enough atm. Maybe a minimum score to qualify? -Cycling: Use a similar system as the Olympics, but adjust qualified numbers, -Swimming: A/B Standard qualification times, invite 8 teams for each relay only. Also limit each individual event to a max 2 athletes from one country. -Gymnastics: The number is adequate enough across both disciplines. Not sure what to suggest here. -Triathlon: 28 athlete fields per event. 26 spots reserved for the world rankings + 2 wild cards. -Lawn Bowls: Max 20 per event, using a world rankings/qualification event. -Netball/Rugby sevens: Same system as in 2018. -Weightlifting: Same system as in 2018 -Squash: Max 32 in singles draws and 16 in the doubles draws. -Table tennis: Max 12 teams per team event. All other countries can enter a max 1 male and 1 female. -Wrestling: Top 9 in world rankings + 1 wild card per event. Parasports- Plan ahead and choose events which have the most representation. It was ridiculous too see many events here with just 1 or 2 medals awarded. -If a country fails it can enter 2 track and field athletes/2 swimmers (just like the Olympics)

Let me repeat once again because you guys seem confused...based on the IWF-IOC document: countries can be banned from Tokyo 2020 if they record 3 doping cases during the qualification period; considering the period from the start of Beijing 2008 to the end of the qualification period for Tokyo 2020, countries with 20 or more doping cases can qualify only 2 weightlifters (1 man+1 woman) but they are not banned (so, Gianlu33, at the moment nobody is "escluso dalle Olimpiadi"). Countries with 10-19 doping cases can qualify only 4 weightlifters (2 men + 2 women); when the procedure for 2008-2012 retests is closed, the number of cases per country should be (countries with at least 3 cases) As Dragon said, some doping cases from 2016-17 are still to be sanctioned.

wins gold in wrestling!

What a podium in Men's Triple Jump

Gold for Levern Spencer!

My understanding was the top 3 teams after the first two teams + host Peru.

In 10 editions of the Totallympics International Song Contest (Annual or Open editions), more than 50 nations across all continents have participated at least 1 time. This year, we have broken the record of most nations participating in the annual edition of the contest with 41 countries represented. Even so, we're missing some nations that have entered songs before, often a long time ago. Here, we honour them, hoping that some of these can be remembered in the Festival of Music - and maybe make a comeback to the competition in future contests.

look at the shorts of the US boxer representing a wall he is with Trump to close the border with Mexico angry mexican he won the match

I'd bet that shooting will be added as the 18th sport like beach volleyball was here. This sport allows many small nations to compete. Dumb decision to omit it completely. THough I would prefer beach volleyball be added too. 17 seems like a low number for this event.

Just watched it, really beautiful

Very stupid and a lot of people were against it (like myself). I will still sing it with the original lyrics, just like Sarah Pavan did at the Commonwealth Games.

Mislis k1

hhahahahahhahahahahah KRAJ

Lara Luka je osvojila Len Trofej sa svojim timom, mislim da je ovo nasa prva vaterpolistkinja sa trofejom nekog evropskog takmicenja

Once again it's shown that watching movies is good

Exactly https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backdraft

I guess pretty much every country that competes internationally in weightlifting will win an Olympic quota place with these bans....

Btw, you wanted to keep informed, so here the actual news, I succeeded in the oral and written parts of the tests today. However I Still have the practical exams tomorrow

yeah , i also like Aruna , despite the fact he's the main rival for our player Omar Assar in Africa , i t think he's such player that u can put your money on

I would back aruna .... He is in my opinion ... the best man by far in this contest

Manika currently ranked 58th in the world, and 37th in Asia... Asia is too good. But the rankings aren't always accurate, Mo Zhang (Canada) is rank 26 atm and I wouldn't put her near that high

On a different note: @hckosice, be proud of me, I'm watching German Formula 4 and the abbreviation of the driver on 12th place makes me think about ice hockey instead of racing.

Make sure USA has their back if the Germans ever attack them again

It's pure decorum. A grotesque decorum that's it.

2nd bronze medal for Malta in these Games, this time in Trap. Gold for and silver for .

super exciting ...... India fought back hard

wow wow ........... Indias first medal in Atheletics looks like high probability ...neeraj throws a 85 m

Yes, the players from teams that did not qualified for the NHL play-offs, and their players were not sent to the play-offs of their respective AHL farm teams (mainly the young players with two-way contracts) are allowed. The problem is how many of them will also confirm their participation and accept the invitation of their National Team coach. For example for SVK, we have so far only 3 NHLers who confirmed their participation, Andrej Sekera, Tomáš Jurčo and Christián Jaroš. All others which clubs didn´t go through to the play-offs and were eligible refused the invitations for several reasons, Jaroslav Halák (end of contract and afraid of eventual injury which will complicate his new contract negotiations), Richard Pánik (expect the birth of their first child in May), or few others like Marián Gáborík (Injury), some others were sent by their teams to the AHL farm teams and others who play the play-offs are just not eligible until their team will be eliminated but it´s the same practically for each team, meanwhile some super stars already confirmed heir participation like McDavid or Patrick Kane

and 1-2 in the road race at 94km.

Images from the atack to Siria

China have "only" 4 cases.

This is disaster really We've experienced the same thing and that was really a terrible and traumatic experience. I hope the Syrians will be persistent and will not allow the villains to destroy them,

Inside The Games are reporting Thailand and Egypt will be added to the nations on 10-19 cases once they finish investigations on positive tests from 2016 and 2017
