Also, for reference here are my favorite songs so far, mostly the songs with 12 points and some runner-ups. Maybe after 9 editions you can guess where my highest points will go. (And yes, none of these songs won TISC. Only one of them was Top3.) Dulce Pontes - Canção do Mar Aldous Harding - Zoo Eyes Glen Hansard, Marketa Irglova - Falling Slowly The Idan Raichel Project - Bo'ee Ashe & FINNEAS - Till Forever Falls Apart Evgenya Redko - Laikinai The Rumour Said Fire - The Balcony Kwiat Jabłoni ft. Julia Pietrucha - "Drogi proste" The Motans - În Golul Tău Asaf Avidan - Reckoning Song Jerry Heil, alyona alyona, Ela. - #KUPALA Toto Cutugno - L'italiano Μαρίνα Σάττι - ΜΑΝΤΙΣΣΑ

Since this is my 10th edition participating in this contest I tought I should look up what my current "all-time" ranking is since I joined in 2019. Fun fact: I have given 12 points to 9 different nations in the 9 editions I participated. Nobody repeated so far on the top. So after 9 editions, these are my Top10 nations... 1st 47 points - 1 gold, 1 silver, 1 bronze 2nd 39 points - 1 gold 3rd 37 points 4th 36 points - 1 silver, 1 bronze 5th 33 points - 1 gold, 1 silver 6th 32 points - 1 gold 7th 32 points 8th 31 points - 1 gold, 1 silver 9th 30 points - 1 gold, 1 bronze 10th 30 points - 2 silver And now let's see which nations gave the most points to Hungary since I joined... 1st 51 points - 1 silver, 1 bronze 2nd 49 points - 1 gold 3rd 48 points - 2 gold, 1 bronze 4th 45 points - 1 gold, 2 silver, 1 bronze 5th 38 points - 1 silver, 1 bronze 6th 37 points - 2 silver 7th 35 points - 2 silver 8th 33 points - 1 gold, 1 silver 9th 33 points - 1 bronze 10th 32 points - 2 silver, 1 bronze

Yet again our friends at Wikipedia have produced a different set of qualifiers They've given the nod to for Americas continental with getting reallocated host quota. They have no quota for

Valentin Foubert and first points for since the extinction of Dinosaurs Great perf from Koudelka as well. Oh dear, Czech Ski Jumping really needed this one !

Diving is a bit of a mess until we know who's selected in the synchro events (let's ignore when an athlete competes in both 3m & 10m events). For now, whoever makes the final will get a quota to compete at the Olympics. Anyone else will have to wait.

Historical bronze medal !

Eventually, I can say that I'll be joining again.

I wanted to honor the smaller nations with their own athlete of the year awards so I took it upon myself to research the performance of various nations in 2023. Unfortunately due to time constraints, this is a bit late, but I now have all my winners and some honorable mentions. I definitely do not have time to create a write-up for each nation, but if you have a specific one in mind I can do something. First off here is how the awards split by sport: Athletics - 39 Wrestling - 12 Weightlifting - 10 Football - 8 Aquatics - 7 Cycling - 6 Judo - 6 Basketball - 4 Boxing - 4 Canoeing - 4 Karate - 4 Sailing - 4 Archery - 3 Cricket - 3 Rowing - 3 Taekwondo - 3 Table Tennis - 2 Tennis - 2 Wushu - 2 Alpine Skiing - 1 American Football - 1 Badminton - 1 Gymnastics - 1 Netball - 1 Racquetball - 1 Rugby - 1 Shooting - 1 Surfing - 1 Triathlon - 1 Total - 136 Unsurprisingly, athletics has a massive 39 winners, almost 29% of all nations I looked at. That's what happens in a sport with a massive worldwide participation. Wrestling and weightlifting break double digits while football leads the team sports. Only one winter sport (alpine skiing) is represented among the winners while six non-Olympic sports are represented with karate, cricket and wushu having multiple winners. Ten sports that will be held at the 2024 Olympics (dancesport, equestrian, fencing, field hockey, golf, handball, modern pentathlon, roller sports, sport climbing and volleyball) did not have a single winner. I'll probably split the winners across three posts over the following days. I look forward to the discussion of being wrong for selecting certain athletes .

Another bronze for Mexico

Geez, get a room you two

For women platform, we have 16 places reserved for synchro ( & ) and 15 other previous qualifiers. Out of , the top 3 in the final will have their places secured, while next four in the order (even if not all of them get in the final) are likely to also advance as the Chinese, Toulson & Schnell most surely compete in individual and synchro. For the others they will have to wait to see which countries qualify in synchro before anything else could be determined; currently last one with a mathematical chance of qualifying (according to me) is Dawson, although it seems unlikely.

Congrats guys! Still chance for him and Łukaszewicz for come back to OG in this discipline.

Silver medal for Italy, an amazing result for us And bronze medal for Spain, wow.

Spain qualified at Olympics

Wow - looks like can kiss their chances of 3m synchro quota with that 3rd round dive.

This is what I want to see and this is a wholeheartly deserved medal for us

How funny and using the same Eminem song and one coming after the other

The Italian team did great! Significantly better than yesterday, increasing the difficulty. The best performance ever for Italy in the acro team, at the right moment, I'd say 213 points; I expected a bit more, but it's still good in our weakest discipline.

Oh wow, total collapse in the last lap for Enkhbat, who was on his way to a Mongolian (!) podium Still, 6th place is absolutely amazing!

Not imposible, considering there's the Continental Quotas to reallocate to, but...

is going to be so close to the quota

We will send 8 biathletes to the West coast. Would you believe ?! So we will be able to form all 4 relays. Nice. Hopefully we will be able to finish at least one of them, but sincerely I doubt it. Main goals of the team. Kuzmina qualifying for the Puruit would be something special. Nothing else to be specially excited about, every Top 40 place in Individual events or/and Finished Relay will be a good result for us and definitely something to be satisfied in current state for us... As mentioned earlier Ema Kapustová will not compete and is preparing for the Junior Worlds (just like Jakub Borguľa) Team Slovakia Mens Matej Kazár (Individual & Team Relay) Tomáš Sklenárik (Sprint, Individual, Team, Singles & Mixed Relays) Damián Cesnek (Sprint, Individual,Team & Mixed Relays) Matej Badáň (Sprint & Team Relay) Womens Anastasiya Kuzmina (Sprint, Team & Mixed Relays) Mária Remeňová (Sprint, Individual,Team & Mixed Relays) Zuzana Remeňová (Sprint, Individual,Team, Singles & Mixed Relays) Júlia Machyniaková (Sprint, Individual & Team Relay)

Fontaine now takes the lead over Rasovszky. Acerenza still in 3rd

After two laps, same top 3 but Acerenza moves ahead of Wellbrock into 2nd. Lot of swimmers right behind

Men's 10km after the 1st lap: 1. Rasovszky 2. Wellbrock 3. Acerenza

My interpretation of the qualification document is that only the athletes placed in the top 12 of each event that are eligible earn quotas. Under the additional quotas section, it says that the additional quotas are allocated to athletes placed 13th and higher.
