J'en Suis La Award As we count down to the latest TISC Grand Final, to be held in Poland on Saturday, April 17th, we have decided to use this timeframe to catch up with our very own TISC Special Awards. There are three different Special Awards in total. The J'en Suis La Award and the Passionfruit Award have been introduced in 2018 as part of the 10th edition Jubilee legacy, while the newly formed STOP THE COUNT! Award got first celebrated in the Netherlands last year. While nobody really aims (or wants) to claim these awards, they do serve their purpose within the TISC

Kórnik Castle The current look of the castle resembles Gothic Revival architecture, one of the popular historicising styles in the 19th century. The main entrance to the castle is located at the northern side. Its characteristic feature is a four-centred arch at the top of the window above the entrance. Up until the interwar period the castle was entered through the so-called babiniec - a barbican-shaped chamber which was subsequently demolished in the years 1925–1939. The western side of the castle features an expanded terrace overlooking Lake Kórnik. The s

Breaking News Due to rapidly raising of new coronavirus cases in Poland, organizing committee made a hearthbreaking but necessary decision about postponing Grand Final of TAISC 2021 which was scheduled for April 17th, about a year, to April 2022. We all known that health and life are the most important things, right now inviting your everyone to Poland wouldn't be safe for anyone. But we are hoping that until next year, world will come back to normal, thanks to vaccine and social distancing. Organizing committee express the hope for understanding from every competing nation.

Biskupin Biskupin is an archaeological site, a life-size model and open air museum of a late Bronze Age fortified settlement in north-central Poland that also serves as an archaeological open-air museum. When first discovered it was thought to be early evidence of a West Slavic settlement, but archaeologists later confirmed it belonged to the Biskupin group of the Lusatian culture (the cultur

Today, on the occasion of Easter, before the start of the visit to next place in the country, I will present you few traditional Polish cakes at Easter time, first one is... Mazurek Mazurek is a variety of very sweet, flat cake baked at Easter. According to Polish gastronomy coursebooks, typical mazurek is a cake that can be made of one or two sheets of short (or "half-short") pastry or one sheet of short (or "half-short") pastry covered with a sheet of butter sponge cake. The two sheets are "glued" together with a help of a layer of marmalade. I

Due to lack of time yesterday, today we will visit two places, first one is... Krasiczyn Castle Krasiczyn Castle is a renaissance castle à la fortezza in Krasiczyn, southeastern Poland. It stands on a lowland at the right bank of the San River, along the Przemyśl-Sanok route and some 10 kilometres southwest of Przemyśl. Across the centuries, the castle has belonged to several noble Polish families, and was visited by many Polish kings. The construction of the castle started in 1580, initiated by a local nobleman Stanislaw Siecienski of Siecin, w

Wow, Van Zundert has actually been picked for Beijing

I'm honestly surprised now that I voted so quickly this year, usually I tend to take more time. As a completely wild guess, I think the other 4 nations are probably Poland, France with Benolympique, then Earlywoodu for the Netherlands, since they posted the song first this year (perhaps a new year's resolution?), Spain only gave a 12, so the hosts are waiting for the rest of the points before they highlight them green and lastly Tunisia as the lone African representative have gathered the points from all over Africa, including Mali, South Africa, Kenya, Algeria, Morocco, Cote De I

Yesterday, due to draw we didn't visit any place in Poland, but today we will catch up on by visiting... Kwidzyn Castle Kwidzyn Castle is a large brick gothic castle in the town of Kwidzyn. It is an example of Teutonic Knights' castles architecture. Since 2018 it's a Monument of History. Throughout history, the castle has been rebuilt many times, depending on various factors, it was expanded and partially dismantled. During its greatest development (between the 16th and 19th centuries), it was a four-winged, regular complex with an in

Good day everyone. Less than an hour to start the Draw for Totallympics Annual International Song Contest In the meantime, I will explain (as best as I can) the procedure for the Draw: PHASE Ia As usual, this year's edition will have a team competition. Our host have decided to divide the 37 participating countries into 9 groups. During this phase we will reveal the names of those teams and their base camp during the next few days before they travel to Krakow for the Final, as well as the order in which they wi

@MHSN sorry to hear all of this. I wish you very speedy recovery!

Thank you everyone. I'm having a little bit trouble with editing from one table to the other. It doesn't show properly as in the test. I'm thinking I'll rather do a random draw for the team order & the "wild card" tomorrow at 17:00 CET, and post a link to the ticket, and then run the draw as usual. Later tonight I'll explain the rest of the procedure. Thanks for your collaboration @dcro @Wumo @rybak @Olympian1010 & @OlympicIRL

Today we will visit another interesting place, it's..... Elbląg Canal Elbląg Canal is a canal in Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, 80.5 kilometres in length, which runs southward from Lake Drużno (connected by the river Elbląg to the Vistula Lagoon), to the river Drwęca and lake Jeziorak. It can accommodate small vessels up to 50 tonnes (49 long tons; 55 short tons) displacement. The difference in water levels approaches 100 metres, and is overcome using locks and a system of inclined planes between lakes. Today it is used mainly for recreational purposes.

End of the voting! The deadline, of sending the votes has now officialy passed and succesfully all 37 nations have submitted their votes, which means that we luckily have avoid disqualfications on both stages. After all troubles, I want say thank you to everyone who will participate at this edition of TAISC and will visit Poland.

The second and last dish from Easter table which I selected is... Sałatka jarzynowa Sałatka jarzynowa or sałatka warzywna (vegetable salad) is always vegetarian salad, consisting of peas, hard boiled eggs, and the mirepoix, always cut into small cubes, seasoned with mayonnaise, salt, pepper. Recipes usually vary by region (tart apples or pickles can be added) and even by household, sometimes even adding meat (for example ham). One such notable exception is "szałot", a Silesian variety which may include not only boiled potatoes, carrots, peas and boiled eggs, but a

Nice to see winning quota and didn't need a invitational place to compete in Olympics

Today we will move to host city Kraków, not yet for the Grand Final, but to visit another Monument of History which is... Kościuszko Mound Kościuszko Mound in Kraków, Poland, erected by Cracovians in commemoration of the Polish national leader Tadeusz Kościuszko, is an artificial mound modeled after Kraków's prehistoric mounds of Krak and Wanda. A serpentine path leads to the top, approximately 326 metres (1,070 ft) above sea level, with a panoramic view of the Vistula River and the city. It was completed in November 1823.

They constitute the largest wooden structure of this type in Europe. The complex of graduation towers and salt breweries, together with two surrounding parks, are designated as a Monument of History.

The second place is... Kruszyniany Mosque It is a wooden mosque located in the village of Kruszyniany, in Podlaskie Voivodeship. The building is the oldest Lipka Tatar mosque in Poland, built on the plan of a rectangle, in specifications of 10 by 13 metres. The village of Kruszyniany was assigned by King John III Sobieski to the Tatars who had participated on the side of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth in the war against the Ottoman Empire. After the Lipka Tatars populace settled in the area, the Tatars built the mosque, which was first menti

I posted this in another threat the other day, and I said I smelled something fishy. Well, now it deserves to go here, cause there is something really fishy behind: Apparently, the real Ivan Zarco is injured and couldn't run the marathon, so Camilo Santiago put on the bib and the outfit of the honduran athlete (Camilo even used long sleeves and high socks, what he never does while compiting, to cover his recognisable tattoos) and run the marathon not in his full potential (has a 2:09 PB), but in a good enough time so he beat the Honduras national record and Ivan Zarco wo

CAF–CONMEBOL play-off 10 - 13 april (turkey)

The season has ended and I'm back traditionally with some medal table stats. Norway blew everyone out of the water this year, with 83 podium finishes in all and 38 of them were gold. This is miles better compared to 2019/20 season where Norway had 55 podium finishes with 32 gold medals. It seems that Norway compensated mostly with silvers and bronzes and were met with huge success in both the men's and the women's side with 8 different Norwegian athletes getting on the podium at some point and 7 of them scoring wins as well. Though where someone is celebrating such hug
