Eurovision will continue past this point. Even though the pro Palestine Eurovision fans have been the loudest whether that's in the arena or on social media, they are massively outnumbered by the people who are in support of Eden Golan (not necessarily Israel in the Israel/Palestine war, just Eden Golan as an innocent party). And as long as it stays that way, this contest will survive.

who's really talking about the end of eurovision ? the pro palestine people can't possibly think there's enough of them to cancel the whole thing.

Is She really that innocent? Iro Palestina yes, nothing to do with her. But let’s not ignore her Russian background with visits to occupied Crimea 😉
we know there were artist banned from Eurovision exactly for that.

Were there more performances than the one in 2016? Because to be entirely fair, she was 13 at that time, one can hardly blame her for that now :p 

 

And somewhat hard to say how much influence managers and such had in those things. Unless it's just clearly fun visits of course.

Yes she was a kid, but her Ukrainian mother and Latvian father obviously approved it.

Tbf when she lived in Russia and visited Crimea is was only a child and probably did what her parents told her to do. Either way she is completely in this scenario and is being ruthlessly picked apart by people in the arena and on social media, the public won't stand for this.

Wouldn't be surprised if in a few weeks it turns out not much happened and this was all for nothing....

    • North American rugby quotas ( and qualified automatically)    M: and W: and  
    • I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.
    • Shemyakina won a bronze medal in 2014 Worlds and was one of our leader but leave the squad due to pregnancy (she has 2 daughters if I'm not mistaking, so she chose family instead of sport). And speaking of foil we have back in the day Sergiy Golubitskyi, who was Olympic silver medalist and won some medals in other competitions and coached his wife Caroline Golubitskyi - one of the German foil specialists. Even in women's foil we had medal in Women's foil at the European championship - it was Olha Leleiko, our current national coach. So no, we are pretty good fencing country, and depending on generations of our athletes some events are more "profitable" for us and some don't. 
    • Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.
    • Sinner probably won't play in another edition of the Davis Cup. That shouldn't come as a surprise. Next season, Wimbledon and maybe Paris should be the goal.
    • No, our epee was good always, we have Shemyakina, who was Olympic Champion in 2012, Reizlin with bronze in 2020, medalists of Worlds like Kryvytska (who is our finisher today), Svichkar (who is our finisher in men's side) and Stankevych, European champion Kharkova, medals in other conpetitions from men's team epee who were one of the main contenders in Tokyo, but unfortunately failed to take a medal. 
    • Does Ukraine have good relations with Poland, or are they more cold, like, for example, Italy with France?
    • Until recently, Ukrainian fencing was just Kharlan and sabre. Maybe epee sometimes. I don't remember them ever was strong in foil. There was a time when Russia, Romania and Poland were strong in foil at that time when Italy dominated but I don't remember Ukraine anymore.   Hungarian women with Aida Mahomed were too strong for many years.
    • No surprise with Aaron Judge winning AL MVP and Shohei Ohtani winning NL MVP awards.   Ohtani is the second player in history to win MVP in both leagues. Frank Robinson (1961 Reds & 1966 Orioles) was the only one before.
