So I've just spent all morning in the one of the few places in the UK with no phone signal.
What's been going on?
and ExpandI’d also like to notify @Hipooo @OlympicIRL that the
jury will be opting in to the rule where, if a song scores points from both jury members, it’s guaranteed points in the final combined voting for the jury.
You beat me by 2 minutes...
Will vote tomorrow
Right, I've printed out my scorecard.
Now to rank all 40 countries I can vote for...

So I have reviewed this case and read the notes included in your entry post. I see that this song has connections to Poland, Ukraine and Slovakia and you have highlighted that fact when presenting the entry.
I am happy to allow some flexibility in this case as with old traditional folk songs, it's often hard to trace the first root of the song and they sometimes have connections to many nations as is this case.
I contacted the other party and they said they are happy for Slovakia to enter the song. In fact there was not an objection to the entry, just a friendly note wondering if the song was eligible since it was a multi-national folk song.
So now that I am happy that the other user is ok for Slovakia to enter the song then I am also fine with allowing flexibility in this case as there is no doubt Slovakia has a genuine connection to the song.
Out of interest, Would there have been a problem if I entered a song by an Northern Irish artist to represent the UK?
I had considered it.
GREAT BRITAIN ENTRY
The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland nominates as its entry a song that is nearly 50 years old.
From the English Midlands, the group that ruined the hairdressing industry for decades to come.
SLADE - FAR FAR AWAY
Lyrics
I've seen the yellow lights go down the Mississippi
I've seen the bridges of the world and they're for real
I've had a red light of the wrist
Without me even gettin' kissed
It still seems so unreal
I've seen the morning in the mountains of Alaska
I've seen the sunset in the east and in the west
I've sang the glory that was Rome
And passed the hound-dog singer's home
It still seems for the best
And I'm far, far away
With my head up in the clouds
And I'm far, far away
With my feet down in the crowds
Lettin' loose around the world
But the call of home is loud
Still is loud
I've seen the Paris lights from high upon Montmartre
And felt the silence hanging low in No-Man's-Land
And all those Spanish nights were fine
It wasn't only from the wine
It still seems all in hand
And I'm far, far away
With my head up in the clouds
And I'm far, far away
With my feet down in the crowds
Lettin' loose around the world
But the call of home is loud
Still is loud
I've seen the yellow lights go down the Mississippi
The grand Bahama island stories carry on
And all those arigato smiles
Stay in your memory for a while
There still seems more to come
And I'm far, far away
With my head up in the clouds
And I'm far, far away
With my feet down in the crowds
Lettin' loose around the world
But the call of home is loud
Still is loud
And I'm far, far away
With my head up in the clouds
And I'm far, far away
With my feet down in the crowds
And I'm far, far away
But the sound of home is loud
Still is loud
Happy to represent if no one else wants to.
All Olympians of course
I was thinking of suggesting an extra competition sometime where every song had to be performed by an Olympic competitor.
Anybody interested in that?
I think I'm able to give time to this so if anyone else from the UK wants to choose a song, let's choose a winner

Add 1 strong pair from Russia and Cizeron, who will return with a new partner and this medal isn`t so certain. They will definitely have to refer to their life form from 2023, and so far, they have been recording worse results every year. -

First, they lost the medal in the short dance, where their performance were also the worst in the season, Second, since they had a good free dance, with which they won silver and bronze at the World Championships in previous years (with the result from 2023 it would be another silver today), why experiment and invent something new? You don't change what works well - better is the enemy of good, The facts are that the Italian pair achieved a worse result at the World Championships than at the European Championships and generally had a weak season, and assuming the return of strong Russians, to win a medal they will need to score around 216-217 points, or maybe more. -

That dance crap, which is a sport of robbery, this year confirmed that it is a mafia. The Italians have dared so much by presenting a programme very different from the classical standards (and I don't like it) and the judges are harshly and rightly beating them up. Fabbri and Guignard have already announced that they will return to classic programmes next year (and magically they will be back on the podium). A discipline decided at the table. Do you want bet something?

In that case I should have nominated this...
