I offer my congratulations to @Cobi on Spain's win and to @OlympicIRL, @Cinnamon Bun and @Quasit on their medals. I want to thank everyone who voted for Greece, I'm glad you liked our song. Also, thank you to our teammates in Gyor Rivers who helped us earn a 4th place in the team event. We were close to a medal there, but 4th place is a great result. And of course, a huge thank thank you to @Vektor who hosted a great contest throughout. This is how I voted. I can say I voted for all top three songs, but as I was the only one in our jury who voted for Spain and Ireland, my points were not enough for these songs to receive any points from Greece. Great Britain got our 12 points by earning a total of 21 points, 7 per jury member and that's despite @Makedonas didn't give any points. 9 points, 3 per jury member were needed for a 12th place finish. 1st 12 pts New Zealand 2nd 11 pts Great Britain 3rd 10 pts France 4th 9 pts Czech Republic 5th 8 pts Ireland 6th 7 pts Poland 7th 6 pts Germany 8th 5 pts Spain 9th 4 pts Sweden 10th 3 pts Denmark 11th 2 pts Italy 12th 1 pts Brazil Res1 Malta Res2 Croatia Res3 Romania

Hey beautiful people, i am very disappointed, that i had to miss the contest, but something unexpected came up this past week. And it was another fantastic and enjoyable contest by the looks of things. Spain with a commanding win to my biggest pleasure, as it's probably the country to which i have given the most points in all of my participations. There is always something to their songs, that resonates with my taste. Well deserved win for @Cobi and very much looking forward to his hosting next time. Also, big applauses for @Vektor for his tireless work these past few months, from stepping up hosting, to organizing and executing the contest perfectly. Great effort from my team members @OlympicIRL @Griff88 and @Illya on getting a bronze medal. Especially after stumbling in the first round, that was some fight through the repechage rounds! The historians will speak on this, but i think this may be the first time i get a medal in the music contests And finally, but not least, big Thank You to everyone who enjoyed and/or voted for the BG song. This time more people than usual and it's nice to be on the left side of the table for a change. Virtual bears and cookies for all

Thanks to every nation voted China, and especially thanks to @rybak @OlympicIRL @Ruslan @kungshamra71. And thanks to @Vektor hosting a such a wonderful and well-organized event. Congrats to @Cobi and already looking forward to going to Spain.

Thanks for the points. Also thank you for this good tournament

Another great edition of the TAISC, congratulations to Vector for the excellent organization, to all the juries who participated, obviously to those who voted for the Italian song and finally congratulations to Spain for the victory, to Ireland and to Great Britain for the medals see you next year

An amazing contest! Congrats to Spain for the victory! @Vektorthanks for the organization and the beautiful descriptions of your country: this contest and the Giro's start gave me the chance to discover lots of things beyond the beautiful Budapest and Balaton Lake (famous for the open water swimming competitions). The only thing that bothers me is that in Italy only two public library have Egri csillagok in Italian and you can't even buy it because it's out of print, but I have found an ebook version in English on Amazon so maybe in the future I'll buy it. I was really impressed by the fact that everyone in Hungary has read it, in Italy everyone studies at school (and at least knows something about) Promessi Sposi by Alessandro Manzoni (the best Italian novel) and Commedia by Dante Alighieri (one of the most important poem in the world literature) but very few people have really read them from the beginning to the end.

Congrats @Cobi on your victory. Team USA ranked you high, but even I had no idea you would win it all, so to me, it's magical. Congrats @OlympicIRL and @Cinnamon Bun @Quasit on your medals. LOL at us finishing 31st with 56 points, but honestly, I thought a song like ours would work for this contest since you love it so much, but boy did we overestimated ourselves And congrats @Vektor on hosting the show. It's not an easy task, but you did it well. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand here's my personal points 12 - Romania 11 - Israel 10 - Spain 9 - Kazakhstan 8 - Canada 7 - Malta 6 - Portugal 5 - Great Britain 4 - Ukraine 3 - Czech Republic 2 - Lithuania 1 - Moldova R1 - Bulgaria R2 - China R3 - Ireland

As I said during the first session, I came to this edition without any expectations. The most popular songs in Spain right now are not very interesting and I wanted to show something different of the Spanish culture. After searching for a while, I decided to go with a folk song in Galician, one of our three official regional languages (Galego, Català and Euskera/Basque) that was very close to represent us in Eurovision this year. To be honest I did not think this kind of music would be that appealing, but I am very happy with the result. I want to say thanks to all the jurors who voted for Tanxugueiras and also to everybody who took their time to listen to Terra: 12 - @kungshamra71 12 - @IoNuTzZ 12 - @Olympian1010 @dezbee2008 12 - @Illya 11 - @NikolaB 10 - @konig 10 - @Wanderer 10 - @justony 9 - @rybak 9 - @Belle 9 - @amen09 4 - @titicow 9 - @Federer91 5 - @Griff88 5 - @Hipooo 5 - @Ionoutz24 4 - @Benolympique @Bohemia 4 - @Fly_like_a_don 4 - @Ruslan 3 - @mrv86 1 - @Finnator123 And big thanks to our host @Vektor for organizing everything so perfectly. This was only my sixth edition participating but I can already imagine how difficult it has to be to prepare such enormous amount of templates, information, draws... I know I will not be as good host as you have been these weeks, but I can promise I will do my best to host the next edition... WELCOME TO ESPAÑA 2023! I can't forget to congratulate both @Cinnamon Bun@Quasit and @OlympicIRL for their medals. I have no idea how Tanxugueiras have finished above Ed Sheeran, but I guess that's the magic of this contest. And with this victory my next goal will be getting some points from and . After 6 editions these are the only 2 countries that I have never managed to receive a single point from (excluding Norway and those who only participated once) .

Is the Czechoslovak battle really so interesting for all of you?

https://www.paris2024.org/en/tickets/ TLDR: the ticket sales will be centralized and worldwide instead of country-by-country, starting in early 2023. I've already booked my trip with a tour operator- I'm hoping to go on similar dates as CCB above. My dream itinerary: Wednesday 24th- handball (I'd be flying in from Toronto Tuesday night and wouldn't have a room in Paris until Thursday) Thursday- non-sports activity (I was thinking the show at the Moulin Rouge- any suggestions welcome, though) Friday- opening ceremony on the Seine Saturday- tennis and boxing Sunday- beach volleyball and swimming Monday- diving, rugby and badminton Any advice for trip planning from people who have been to the Games and/or Paris would be appreciated.

I would like to thank everyone who made this contest possible. @Sindo for maintaining the site, @OlympicIRL for their guidance, @dcro for their contributions, @vinipereira for the logo of the contest, @mrv86 for the draw tables. @hckošice @Cinnamon Bun @Cobi @Wumo for their participation in the draw. And of course I would like to thank all the jury members who participated in the contest. And as the jury member of Hungary I would also like to thank everyone who voted for our song. I never expected this song to reach the 6th place, that was the most surprising result of the contest for me. Thank you!

Congrats @Federer91 @Griff88 and @Illya for our team bronze

Spain Wins The 2022 Annual Contest With "TERRA" from Tanxugueiras! The prophecy was right all along!

Croatia Pozdrav is susjedne Hrvatske! Ovogodišnje je natjecanje izuzetno zanimljivo. Nadamo se da će tako i ostati, ali za početak, ne bi bilo loše kada bi se sljedeće pjesme malo podigle u poretku... Greetings from the neighbouring Croatia! This year's contest has been exceptionally exciting. We hope it stays that way, but for starters, it wouldn't be half-bad if the following songs were to improve their rankings... 3rd Ukraine 4th Denmark 5th China Ukraine 10 Denmark 9 China 8 France 7 Lithuania 6 Great Britain 5 Mexico 4 Malta 3 Serbia 2 New Zealand 1

My Top before rehearsals was 1st - France 2nd - Cyprus 3rd - Poland 4th - Montenegro 5th - Greece 6th - Moldova 7th - Austria 8th - Italy 9th - Lithuania 10th - Netherlands But now, after rehearsals (and one day before first semifinal for juries, called dress rehearsal) top is changed for: 1st - France 2nd - Greece 3rd - Portugal 4th - Cyprus 5th - Poland 6th - Montenegro 7th - Ireland 8th - Estonia 9th - Netherlands 10th - Lithuania with Iceland being 11th and Georgia being 12th (that's not joke) and I want see both of them being qualified to Grand Final so badly...

Freshly promoted and Bids for the 2023 World Championship Hungary won the brotherly cross-border clash with Romania 4-2 on the last day at the 2022 IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship Division I Group A. The result didn’t change much in the standings as it became already clear yesterday evening that Hungary would finish in second place while Romania would remain in last place and be relegated. Media representatives at the Tivoli Hall were therefore more interested in what the ice hockey associations of Hungary and Slovenia announced after the game. Hungary and Slovenia, both promoted to the top division as the top-two ranked teams here, announced a joint bid for the 2023 IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship that was originally planned in St. Petersburg, Russia. The bid was presented under the motto “extreme circumstances require extreme decisions”. Since the countries have a tough time to bid for the tournament years in advance as “elevator teams” that move up and down between the top level and the Division I, they want to seize the chance with the 2023 edition to be reassigned just one year in advance and both teams being qualified. The bid includes the original game days of 5-21 May 2023. The two countries bid with the brand-new MVM Dome in Budapest as the venue for one preliminary-round group, two quarter-finals, both semi-finals and both medal games. The arena was opened last December and hosted the 2022 EHF European Men’s Handball Championship with a capacity of 19,182 spectators in an ice hockey configuration. Slovenia’s venue would be Arena Stozice, which hosted the 2012 IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship Division I Group A with up to 10,500 fans filling the venue at that time. It would host the other preliminary-round group and two quarter-final games. Hungary has never hosted a top-level men’s World Ice Hockey Championship but Budapest staged the top-level U18 Women’s Worlds in 2014. Slovenia’s capital of Ljubljana was host of the 1966 IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship. The event took place with three tournaments in former Yugoslavia with Ljubljana hosting the top division, Zagreb the B-Pool and Jesenice the C-Pool.

my 2 cents... Peter Statsny...by far... then, Marian Hossa and Zdeno Chara... personally, I used to be also a big fan of Ziggy Palffy (I saw him play here in Milan in the European Champions Cup semifinal round in 1992, when he was still playing for Dukla Trencin -he was a kid but he was already the star of that team together with Branislav Janos)...

Hossa is already a legend and not only of Slovak but also world hockey, there is a reason why he was already added to the both IIHF Hall of Fame and also the NHL hall of Fame which is something not easy to achieve for an european , especially at his age However, Apart the already mentioned names I would also add Žigmund Pálffy to this list, He was probably the most skilled slovak player ever. Not the brightest guy on earth but with some hell of golden hands

Yeah, preliminary action started two days ago in football/beach handball. There is livestreaming on the official YouTube channel and other Vietnamese media outlets.

Somehow I hadn't noticed this so much while following it, but thinking back I realize that, yeah, it was utterly flawless! Fantastic job by Hungary

Spain 12 My first TISC participation was the 2019 Open contest and guess what TISC meme originated from that contest? I guess the prophecy was right, Spain had to win the contest which was hosted by me. Joking aside, Spain collected 160 points, 4 x 12 pts from , 1 x 11 pts from and 3 x 10 pts from . There are no questions about which was the strongest nation of this contest. I would like to congratulate @Cobi, Spain was long overdue for this kind of success in TISC. And now we shall end the contest the way every song contest should, with the winning song. Goodbye 2022 Annual Contest, Goodbye Hungary, see ya at the next contest, hopefully in Czech Republic, and then next year in Spain! Tanxugueiras - TERRA

Remember all those times Slovakia used to sweep the Czechoslovak Trophy just by showing up? Yeah, me neither.

One-on-One Matches This contest isn't about 1v1 matches but I still would like to see what made the difference between the top nations. The tables will show the points difference per nations. For example, if a nation gave Nation A 12 points while they gave Nation B 8 points, they will be seen on the left side of the table with +4 points for Nation A. 1st Spain 160 points v 125 points Ireland 2nd 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 2nd Ireland 125 points v 118 points Great Britain 3rd 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 3rd Great Britain 118 points v 113 points Finland 4th 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 And of course we can't forget about the most important battle. 23rd Czech Republic 69 points v 42 points Slovakia 34th 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 24 n

Interesting contest Firstly: congratulations to @Vektor for one of if not the most technically executed contests, it was super easy and entertaining to follow, very smooth grand final. Congratulations to Spain for their first ever win and to Ireland and Great Britain for their continuous success in these contests to land on a podium yet again. Congratulations to our team, we did it @Agger @Wumo @catgamer @Glen I think it's very fun to share this victory with you since our team is pretty much comprised of the OG's that have been with TISC since the very beginning As for Lithuania, well 14th place is not bad, sad we didn't hit the 100 points, many jurors liked the Lithuanian song, but nobody loved it. I thought that I wouldn't enter a Gebrasy song again, but it's nearly three years since I'm working with my new producer and best friend Faustas and I just wanted to showcase something from that part of my life, though the biggest pain was deciding between "Where'd You Wanna Go?" and "Into Your Arms", though I'll never find out which would've been a correct decision We'll continue to release new music and we're already working on a single for Summer, it's going to be in Lithuanian, I gladly invite you to follow our journey, but for TISC, I think I'll much rather prefer to highlight other artists in our music scene.

@Dnl Thank you man ! Thank you

Serbia is the country with the most points given to Spain (47 in the last 6 editions). It is also the 2nd silver medal after Open 2019. Thanks @NikolaB! It's a nice timing for Serbia because Djokovic just won the 1st set against Alcaraz .
