Goop point! Georgia are very unlikely to qualify as well! Maybe Cyprus (there is a big Russian connection there) or a new Central European friend, like Czech Republic or Hungary?

Poland? :whistle: I know miracles doesn't happen :d

Aaaand :NOR Norway became odds favorites. I haven't heard their song yet, but name "That's How You Write A Song" sounds super corny + cringy + cheesy. :p

 

Also it's Rybak...

@kungshamra71 Is it true that everyone is always smiling in Portugal, as showcased in these promo videos? :p

 

It is true they will always (or almost always :p ) smile for tourist yes haha

 

I recognize we must be one of the friendliest people in Europe for foreigners, even when we dont speak their language and they dont speak/dont want to speak english (like spanish or french tourists).

 

And i loved the promo videos, really showed many nice towns and places in Portugal! :d

Ok, so I loved everything in this first semi final (the Lisbon intro, the videos between each songs, the really nice "Planet Portugal" and the salvador sobral part), except for the songs :lol:

 

I mean I know it's eurovision so it is expected to be quite crappy, but I don't think I liked that much even a single one of them this year (maybe Estonia's, because of the nice voice).

 

Oh well, can't wait for all the intro videos on the second semi final! :lol:

I'm curious about the Dutch Waylon. He's been crying in media all the time because they weren't positive enough :facepalm:

Which led to him boycotting certain newspapers :facepalm:

 

One of those newspapers 'reviewed' all songs after the rehearsals and then wrote this about him (after the boycot):

Quote

 

A felt-through tribute to country music. A song that could not have come from deeper inside the singer's soul. You just feel the music flowing through the veins of the artist. Adding the dance style of krumping is a hartwearming innovation on the Eurovision podium.

 

- This message has been approved by the 2018 Media Handbook, by Waylon.

 

 

:p 

 

And all that lead to memes like this, with the famous North Korean news reader :d

    • I thought that was the case.  I just started watching skimo last year, but even then, I didn't recognize any of the women.  I recognized the top Swiss guy, I think.
    • Puripol Boonson seizes home men's 100m sprint gold after going sub-10 seconds in heats   https://www.olympics.com/en/news/sea-games-athletics-mens-100m-final-results-puripol-boonson   First Southeast Asian to go under ten seconds in the 100 meters.
    • Yes, that and a lot of the main medal contenders  either didn't have teams entered/or fielded B-C teams
    • Write-up on the Gisin story.   Olympic champion Gisin undergoes cervical spine surgery after crash
    • Seriously wish Bialystok will be banned from any European competition and for long time.
    • Unexpected boost for Team .  They are at least going to have a credible excuse if anyone fails any drug tests.     American rapper Snoop Dogg has been named an 'honorary coach' for Team USA at next year's Winter Olympics.   The United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee (USOPC) announced on Thursday the 54-year-old will take on "a volunteer role celebrating and supporting America's athletes off the field of play".   Snoop Dogg named 'honorary coach' for Team US at Winter Olympics - BBC Sport
    • Just now getting around to these results...glad to see USA win a gold.  Didn't think we were much of a contender here.  Home soil luck?
    • Qualification status that could realistically change this week, barring (except where noted) new time qualifying performances :   Men   500m : pretty much done   1000m : pretty much done   1500m : pretty much done   5000m : one outlier at the moment  Semirunniy. He's currently not qualified for the distance being 18/15 in the rankings and R1 time-wise. He could still punch his ticket :    either by getting into the top 15 with a very good result (a podium or even a win would be needed). If it is at the expanse of  Henriksen or, less likely,  Swings, then the loser is out. If it is at the expanse of any other, then  Sasaki is out.  or by hoping Lorello gets into the top 15 at the expanse of Henriksen or Swings. or by going faster than Sasaki (6'08''834) which seems reachable after his 10k, even in Hamar.   10000m : once again Henriksen is on the bubble. If  Maly, Petzold of  Farthofer gets into the top 9 at the expanse of Malfatti or Snellink, then he's out.    Mass-start : not much at stake considering most of the reserve skaters will already receive an additional quota - at the moment    . Morino  will try to enter top 32 and be in those additional quota spots.    Team pursuit : pretty much done   Women   500m : pretty much done   1000m : with  Thorup not cleared to participate one more spot is up for grabs.  Scholz would need to be in front of both Herzog (done as she's not entered) and Czerwonka (7 points) after this final week.  Silaeva would be left out.    1500m : Lamarche not competing and  Zofia Braun being promoted to A division, Poland has got a real shot at a second quota. Braun will need to stay in front of Scholz and Weidemann, who could still finish ahead of her depending on how good Braun fares in A division.  Smedding would suffer from a Polish rise.   3000m : match-up between  Yang and  Horikawa only separated by 3 points. At the moment Yang is out (R2) but if they exchange position in the standings then Horikawa is out (R1). They could also both finish ahead of Hofmann, at the expanse of  Golubeva ultimately.  Jasch has a small shot at a second German quota too, by edging the former two skaters, eliminating them.    5000m : pretty much done   Mass-start :  Santo Rodrigues is hanging on by a thread. The cruelty of it is that those immediately behind her -    - will get an aditional spot anyways, so it does not really matter if they finish in the top 24 ahead of her, except it would allow France to enter a second skater and two girls in the MS.   Team pursuit : three-way asymetrical tie for the last SOQP spot between   and , all in division A. Norway needs to beat both as they can't rely on a time Q, Kazakhstan needs to beat Norway to ensure (if they fail to beat China) the first SOQT spot and avoid the Italian wild-card*, whereas China is pretty safe. *  is currently out but they "only" need to get into a reserve spot to be qualified, which is going faster than 3'00'92 (or faster than Norway if they too decide to skate faster). They were not far off this mark in Hamar earlier this year but the team was in a better shape overall.
