TRENDS OF THE DAY

 

Even though  didn't make it to the left part of the scoreboard until the 7th jury, they still managed to get 87 points (44% of the total) before Lunch Break.

 

However, not all nations had the same trend.  got 93 points in the first half of the contest but only 37 in the second half, being the only team within the top12 with more than 65% of their points scored thanks to nations voting in Sessions 1 and 2 (71,54%).

 

During this time they managed to set the record for the longest voting streak, with 9 nations in a row giving at least one point to !

 

On the other hand we have  and . Serbia only had 15 points halfway, but they had a fantastic second half scoring 88 points, only behind  and . Ukraine had a similar trend, even though they were in last place after 12 juries, they managed to make it to the top10 in the last vote, with 79% of the total points obtained in Sessions 3 and 4.

16 place in a year contest, wonder when was the last time Portugal ended up in the first half of an annual TISC.

 

Nowadays living in the Netherlands it gets quite difficult to get Portuguese songs to share, I barely listen to new Portuguese songs now

A GREAT DAY FOR NON-ENGLISH SONGS

 

It is only the fourth time in 20 editions that a non-English song wins the Totallympics International Song Contest! Therefore, Italian becomes the second most succesful language with 2 victories ( A2018 & A2023), while German ( A2014) and Galician ( A2022) remains tied in the third place.

 

However, this is the first time ever that 1st and 2nd place are obtained by non-English songs. The silver medal for  is also the best result so far for a song in a Scandinavian/Nordic language.

 

Fun fact: English songs have a 60% win rate in Annual editions, but are undefeated in Open editions.

GOODBYE, SEVILLA!

 

Before we end the ceremony with the winning song, I'd like to thank all users for their participation and support, and especially @mrv86for organizing the draw, @Olympian1010 for helping with the Team Event format and @vinipereira for the improvements made to the logo. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed preparing it. It has been a pleasure to have been able to contribute my grain of sand to the history of TISC.

 

Congratulations to all the users who have met their expectations with the results and encouragement to those who hoped to be in a better position. In 6 months you will have a new opportunity, so don't get discouraged .

 

Yesterday we started the opening ceremony with the first seconds of the Barcelona 1992 ceremony, so what better way to put the finishing touch to these 6 weeks of competition than with the performance of Sarah Brightman and Josep Carreras that closed the first and last Olympics held in Spain. Ladies and gentlemen,

 

Amigos para Siempre
