Good evening, Totallympics! Velkommen til Danmark! It's an honour for the Host Jury to welcome you all to the Opening Ceremony for TISC Open 2019. We have tried our best to welcome all participants with open arms here to small and beautiful Denmark. Without you, we could not make TOTALLYMPICS INTERNATIONAL SONG CONTEST. So from the bottom of our hearts, thank you. First we want to present what our small, but beautiful country can offer. Enjoy!

2019 TOISC Logo The logo for TOISC 2019 can finally be revealed! The Host Jury will be honest and say it has not been easy to come to this final product, due to the lack of any creative sense from the members of the Host Jury with regards to designing a logo. The Host Jury has had many struggles throughout the process due to many unconstructed ideas. With all of this said, it's only suitable to thank the amazing @vinipereira and his magical skills when it comes to logo designs. It would have never been possible to create a logo without your help. A big thank you, @vinipereira, from the bottom of the members of the Host Jury's hearts. The colour scheme of the logo is inspired by the colours in the Totallympics' logo and the host country, Denmark. The font should have symbolized the historic focus the host jury has had in this TISC, but it symbolizes something more of a Disney aesthetics. The D in particular has been a talking point, as it screams Disney. However, in an afterthought, it is quite fitting to have something which is more Disney inspired, as one of Denmark's most renowned authors Hans Christian Andersen's work, "The Little Mermaid", is a classic disney tale. The two singing birds illustrate the many different musical styles, genres and cultures TISC embody, as all songs in each single edition of TISC create their own unique "note" for that specific edition of TISC.

found it , in DEN you can try the long eggs the ass of the chicken should be special

I like how TISC is almost here again and bestmen get's all salty and angry and emotionalladylike and like a kid who's candy is taken away It means TISC really is close now.

Historical notes Folk songs and stories in Denmark have been widely used to tell stories about heroes' achievements and the life of king and queens in the Middle ages, but also about what consequences the common people's actions could have on their life. The former TISC participant, Myrkur, will sing two tales. The first one is a Danish folk song from the late 1500s about Queen Dagmar (wife of Valdemar Sejr). She was known as the Queen of the people because she wished her husband, the king, would lower taxes for the farmers and free the many prisoners who were held in castle dungeons. She allegedly died giving birth in her bed, around age 23. Afterwards she will sing about a man named Ramund. A man who goes to battle with the Jætter/trolls and then sails to the emperor to take his daughter to marry and then decapitates the emperor. Lastly, we will present the folk group, Virelai. They will sing about a common woman, Agnete, who is lured by a beautiful merman to the bottom of the sea. However, the merman was a test of Agnete's faith to her husband. As a consequence of her action, she is forced to live the rest of her life on the bottom of the sea with no possibility to see her children and husband again.

Brief presentation and a visit from a familiar face TOISC 2019 wants to celebrate Denmark's history in not only TISC, as many of you have already noticed, but also the historical musical roots Denmark comes from. During this ceremony, we will have several artists presenting the musical history of Denmark. At first, we are not going far back in our musical history, as this artist has written some of the most recent history of Denmark in TISC. We are happy to welcome last year's winner, Tina Dickow!

Announcement Hello, Totallympians The Host Jury would like inform all that the Opening Ceremony will begin in one hour, 18:00 (CET). We hope many of you will follow it.

Really didn't know that people knew Dizzy that well

Nope no Halloween. But Cemeteries overflow with flowers and thousands and thousands of candles are lit and placed on the graves these days. Since it´s the "All-Saints Day" which is here in "the Republic of Northern Vatican" one of the most religious Day-Offs, All shops, schools and offices are closed and peoples are expected to not work or at least to not do anything except driving or walking to the cemeteries. In fact during this period (31st October to 2nd November) all families are reunited and travel across the country to visit cemeteries where their deceased family members are located. It generated more traffic on the road than virtually any other day in Slovakia, including Eastern and Christmas. A large industry has sprung up to accommodate All Saints Day observance in fact. Flower shops in town start stocking memorials several weeks before All Saints The experience is all in all very unique and quite powerful. Local radio stations play sad music all day etc... some pics

So with the hosts and Séamus getting pissed off their faces, is it fair to say the D in the logo may represent drunks?

And now I know why Séamus sped off just now at the speed of sound

As we reach the last stop on our journey... We have come to the end of the Opening Ceremony for TOISC 2019, and as a TISC-tradition prescribes, the scoreboard for this edtion of TISC will now be presented. Grand Final Scoreboard CROATIA SLOVAKIA P.R. OF CHINA BRAZIL NETHERLANDS NORWAY LITHUANIA ROMANIA HUNGARY IRELAND ALGERIA EGYPT MALTA SWEDEN MOLDOVA PORTUGAL ITALY MEXICO GREECE INDIA TUNISIA FRANCE DENMARK INDONESIA UNITED STATES FINLAND GREAT BRITAIN ARGENTINA CHILE POLAND CANADA AUSTRALIA SLOVENIA NEW ZEALAND SPAIN SERBIA KAZAKHSTAN As this is a song contest, it would be fitting to end it all with a song. We will sing a song many Danes consider the unoffical national song, "I Danmark er jeg født", written by Denmark's and Odense's own author, H.C. Andersen. Thanks to all who took their time to follow the Opening Ceremony. We hope many of you will be with us tomorrow when the 2019 TOISC Grand Final will begin at 12:00 (CET). Goodnight and let us all sing-along! Lyrics:

Some rumors say that the two singing birds actually represent @Agger and @Wumo arguing over the organization.

Fun fact: Aside from Japan who took the host spot, all other qualifiers were formerly (or still are) Marxist-Leninist countries.

The first sign of winter is a Brazilian speed skating record being broken...

Canada not even having a chance to qualify for the women’s tournament is an absolute joke. The Canadian women have one of the best team on tour...

Are you telling me that Mali will NOT be a medal contender next year??

It's the most wonderful time of the year!

Kolding Station - Photo: S.Juhl - Wiki With the Grand Final getting close, we can welcome @dezbee2008, @Olympian1010, @thepharoah and @DaniSRB to Kolding, hometown of Blaue Blume who competed at the 2015 Annual Contest. Kolding dates to the second half of the 1100s and for most of the medieval times it was one of the most important cities of the country, including having the castle Koldinghus as an occasional Royal residence for a few hundred years. Due to wars and Plague the city suffered and had trouble growing due to taxes. During the Napoleonic wars, some Spanish mercenaries started a fire at Koldinghus by accident burning major parts down to the ground. Only in the 1890’s restoration of the castle began, finishing about a 100 years later. During these years the city grew steadily becoming the 7th largest city of our country. Koldinghus - Photo: Hubertus - Wiki Kolding is most known for its men’s handball team who has won the Danish Championships a record 14 times. Among the major athletes from the city, two-times Olympic Silver Medalist in heaveweight boxing, Søren Petersen and former Liverpool midfielder Jan Mølby. Kolding Castle Lake - Photo: Hubertus - Wiki As you may have guessed, Koldinghus would be a place that we recommend to visit. Both to see the historic building in a new form but also due to its highly interesting exhibitions. Trapholt Arts museum, a look around in the historic center or by Kolding fiord are also worth the time. And how about bit of pizza? Kolding likes to call themselves Slice-town for a reason!!

Awesome opening ceremony @Wumo and well done to you and @Agger on hosting the contest thus far. I'll be on here tomorrow (maybe to save @Olympian1010's dignity of posting the votes, or something)

I was expecting Sajan to make it to the final. but his poor defense in par terre cost him the final. he will be huge favorite for the bronze. not sure if you watched the 55kg IND/RUS but your wrestler was leading 12-9 until the last 20-30 seconds. he was very impressive in that match but still for winning the bronze he has to beat 2 very good wrestlers, I don't think that happens. for Sunil it will be even harder. from what I noticed, India is a very bad matchup for Russia ! even when Russia wins, they have to work really hard for that. Indian wrestlers are great in making their opponents tired but I can see all of your Greco wrestlers are weak in defending parterre and that will be costly against top wrestlers. 1 caution is enough for a Russian wrestler to beat you 8-0. unlike freestyle, parterre is VERY important in Greco. Sajan dominated the Japanese guy but when they gave him a passivity caution (which was dubious) the Japanese easily scored a 4pts throw. I mean really easily.

Ok, that´s what we were asking for...I'm waiting for you at the tap.

I'm also happy about that, as it is today the Christmas beers of the big brands are released in Denmark. I can get up to 5 free beers the first hour at my local bar, but I'm not going to stop after that. I think I'm going to regret this tomorrow...

Of course in Dutch the most important verb must to the end of the sentence go so niet toegestaan yada yada yada te kijken.

I’ll try to find out when I get out of class in a few minutes.

Funen has much to experience What cultural and natural experiences can the birthplace of Denmark's most celebrated author, H. C. Andersen, might offer? Let us take you a tour around the island.

Welcome to Odense and Funen! For the first time in TISC's History, Odense has the honour as host city. Odense has done its best to prepare for this big event, but the city of Odense could not have achieved this alone. Many people from the rest of Funen have contributed to make this possible. We want to show what Funen and Odense can offer those who visit this beautiful, hilly, green island which is placed in the heart of Denmark.

I'm going to laugh my balls off if they actually get a medal.

First of all... It's more than 3½ years old I don't even remember that and therefore can't really say what happened. But well. Berlingske is rather right-leaning, but none the less respectable, and I have great respect for Tinne who wrote that article.

He's 39 years old, but this is the only time of him on the 1.500 that's even been published.

5 - 1 USA wasn't as bad as the score suggests but they simply have no decent PC routines. Impossible to compete at this level like that.

This should have just been a demonstration sport and I will treat it as such.

Mongolia in basketball... Surprise, surprise...

"It's easy, a key word for 3x3 is diversity, and universality!"

Universality OQT is opened only to nations that were not represented in any basketball tournament in 2012/2016... It's so 'universal' that barely two continents have made it.

MAYBE SESSION ONE IS OVER NOW, WAIT FOR THE AFTERNOON SESSION

"3x3 is more than just sports. 3x3 events are genuine urban cultural festivals!"

But one country entered one of the biggest hits the world has ever seen I wouldn't be surprised if it steamrolls the competition by a huge margin.

Gubay

Day two of the new World Cup season and Tissot Timing is already broken It's been stuck in the second heat for almost half an hour now

Everything, I think.

Yup it is. Infact the most popular form of cricket in the world.

?? Yes, sure she will. Also Duda! I am sure they y send any information we ask them ?

I wish more federations had this mindset: "But Quillota in the middle of December can’t be used as an Olympic qualifier, as it’s an addition to the FEI calendar and only established events are allowed to act as qualifiers, to avoid NOCs putting on extra events simply to push their own riders through." 3x3 is, like, the exact opposite of this.
