When totallympics was down we had important change, change of presenting voting in grand final, here is video with explanation.

What do you think about this? It's good or no?

 

I personally like it. It works fine in Sweden and will surely make it exciting for longer

But it's annoying...watching for a whole long time to see vote after vote being published...and then in the end, BOOOM, all "public votes" at once messing up the entire standings. 

Either do it the old way, or announce all "professional" votes at once and then all "public" votes at once. Obviously they won't do it because one and a half hour of useless watching is still a lot of commercial income or something I guess.

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!

Personally I don't find it useless, It's exciting and after all every vote counts the same.

Then they should announce the professional votes one after another and then the public votes one after another. If all votes count the same, it's just bullshit to announce 50% of the votes in a one hour show (or longer) and announce the second 50% all at once. That just doesn't make sense. 

What's wrong with having professional and public votes count the same, but putting them together per country and announcing them as one big vote?

I'm pretty sure that would be way too much time (even for me who find the voting exciting).

Personally I don't see the problem.

Yes, it would take too much time. Now they are just announcing a half one by one, and then "oh, yeah, let's do all the rest right now instead". 

It's like TV would broadcast the entire first 20km of a marathon and then compress the second half in a 30 seconds highlight video.
