[OFF TOPIC] Eurovision Song Contest 2016

I'm so happy for Bulgaria! At least now that's one less hurdle for them. I'm still in shock about Iceland and Estonia not qualifying, as well as Norway. And especially Georgia qualifying.

 

Obviously Russia, Ukraine, and Australia are dominating the bookies, but I don't think any of them will win.

I personally think we have one of the best song in years... hopefully we'll also get a good place ;) Michał - good luck!

Don't give up hope that easily :p After weeks of judging it took the number 1 spot in my TOP 43.

 

I strongly believe that it will be the best Bulgarian placement in their history and has a very high chance to be in the TOP 10.

Very "good" opinion about the german entry! :yes

Probably the best "summary" i read/heard, most people are only talking about her style/dress, which is annoying. The lyrics is probably too "average" to finish top 10, but we should be somewhere in the middle, 15th to 20th hopefully. Maybe some people give her a few extra points because they find her cute or like her dress ...

 

She won The Voice of Germany 2015, here are some other performances of her:

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

I think you are 100% right about the UK jury - the head of our jury has publically said that she just wants someone shy to stand there and sing and that she dislikes any gimmicks on stage? It will be between Poland and Lithuania for our televote - it is every year and I doubt it will be any different.

Some other interesting patterns you may have not seen

  • Ireland will give lots of points to Latvia
  • Belgium/Netherlands/France will give high points to Armenia
  • The head of the german jury was a judge on the Voice of Germany when the Armenian contestant was competing - so Germany will give lots of points to Armenia as well

I think we may have a surprise winner this year. Everyone may be focusing on Russia and Australia and Ukraine, but someone unexpectedly will come around and give them a run for the money.

    • Some of the small nations have competed in the past but usually lost 30-0 to the Aussies
    • Officials persons (include Head) of RLF are still in ban. For example, Vaelbe has spoken even more terrible words but, however, CAS obliged to gave them AIN status. And it's the same situation here - FIL must to implement CAS's decision. But it's not clearly FIL's criterias for AIN status and that too strange
    • For Modern Pentathlon, it's interesting that Africa only gets one continental championship spot, considering how well Egypt does in the event.  (But then again, it's max 2 athletes per NOC per gender.)  Presuming that an Egyptian wins the African CCh, I suppose their performance in the other major competitions will allow the second competitor to come through.
    • Statement from the president of the russian Luge federation (yesterday): "Our team is in Kazakhstan and is preparing to apply for U.S. visas. We are setting an example for our entire country, especially for the younger generation. They see that a difficult path is not a reason to give up. It teaches perseverance. In this perseverance lies our shared strength, our mission to millions of young people for whom sports are a guiding point and a shining star. I believe in our country, in our strong-spirited guys. I sincerely love and respect our president, Vladimir Putin. He is the best president in the world. May God grant him strength and good health."   Do they deserve neutral status?
    • I did not think it would happen again but... I created similar post for Paris - 2024 https://totallympics.com/forums/topic/27489-ain-athletes-qualification-for-paris-2024-olympic-games-and-reallocation-of-quotas-post1-updated-1507/#comments  I was not sure if that reallocations would really happen but the reality was even more serious than the expectations. According to this research 43% of the neutral statuses issued by the IFs were fake AIN  - https://razom22.com/neutrality-research/  And the figures are based on the IOC decisions - not on the evaluations by Ukrainian NOC or sport ministry. Right now the situation is absolutely unclear. As usually )) Some notes: 1. Russians will not reject quotas for 2026 as they did for 2024 in judo and wrestling. 2. AINERP may be more loyal to russians due to the new member - Watanabe. His federation issued AIN status to Melnikova who took part in the primaries of the russian ruling party, had phots with Z and e .t.c. 3. I do not expect a lot of reallocations becaues of the total small number of the rus/blr athletes in qualification events right now. 4. BUT, even with these small numbers we see that FIS allowed to compete several incompliant persons.        Short notes from the IOC statement before Paris - 2024:   1. IOC`s decisions to reject quotas are final. 2. IOC`s decisions to approve quotas are not final - new facts may lead to the rejection of invitation. 3. IOC`s decisions cannot be appealed - NOCs were not invited to the Games, so it is a good will to invite individual athletes... or not   russians Sports Athlete(s) Discipline Possible Reallocation NOC IOC Decision + IF reallocation if happened Figure skating Adeliia PETROSIAN Women's singles Stefania Yakovleva Confirmed by IOC Figure skating Petr GUMENNIK Men's singles Davide Lewton Brain Confirmed by IOC belorussians     Sports Athlete(s) Discipline Possible Reallocation NOC IOC Decision + IF reallocation if happened Figure skating Viktoriya SAFONOVA Women's singles Stefania Yakovleva Confirmed by IOC  
    • I would say they will not be eligible. But it realy abotut the wording every federation has in its papers. World Aquatics changes their policies several times (especially after Mazepin "solved the issues" persoanlly - as witnessed one russian Olympic champion)   Inoirtnat notes on FIS decisions:   FIS points are frozen for ruissns and belorussians - so the situation is not so complicated for a lot of them. The list of the AIN`s is not final as the list from ISU was. It means that persons mau be not only removed from the list but added as well. I expect russians to try some freestyle applications before the stage in China, for example. FIS has not problems with the deny of visa or entris by the host countries. So they kept the possibility to close the doors for the russians for all the countries as ICF did. No sanctions for this, no removing events from the Olympic qualification list, no host changes,   * * * * * Here is the the relevant extract from FIS papers for Aerials tram event. What do you think?
