I am pleased to announce that the host nation has submitted their votes. This means voting is now OPEN to all jury members For any new jury members, just sending a reminder on how this process works. Once you have listened to all songs and are happy that you know which 12 songs you want to vote for, send those votes by PRIVATE MESSAGE to the organiser, @OlympicIRL. All votes are kept secret until the Grand Final, so please don't indicate in chat who you voted for to keep the surprise element intact on the Grand Final. On many occasions the final vote has crowned the winner so that's why it's important to keep the suspense alive . Additionally, as well as voting for your 12 favourite entries and awarding points from 1 to 12, please submit a 1st, 2nd and 3rd reserve in case some nations withdraw. Please indicate the priority of your reserves also. I have included a voting template below which you can utilize to send your votes, if you so wish Jury members you have until 21:00 GMT on Friday, December 5th to submit your votes by private message, so plenty of time to get listening to those entries . @Erigert@konig@hoversaBR@Federer91@Topicmaster1010@Vic Liu@Agger@Wumo@Benolympique@Bohemia@catgamer@Dragon@maestro@Yannakis@Fer GUA@Fly_like_a_don@Roamingrover86@Griff88@Dnl@Gianlu33@Henry_Leon@Pablita@SteveParker@Ruslan@Bearas@Glen@mrv86@heywoodu@rybak@kungshamra71@IoNuTzZ@NikolaB@Bailer@hckošice@justony@Cobi@Belle@amen09@Memo@Illya@dezbee2008@Olympian1010 Rank Nation Points 1st Nation 12 2nd Nation 11 3rd Nation 10 4th Nation 9 5th Nation 8 6th Nation 7 7th Nation 6 8th Nation 5 9th Nation 4 10th Nation 3 11th Nation 2 12th Nation 1 13th Nation 1st Reserve 14th Nation 2nd Reserve 15th Nation 3rd Reserve

You might notice that there's only 33 quotas assigned in the women's 1500m. That's because after the initial assignment of quotas, there were 115 quotas which is 3 over the limit. According to the qualification system, the 1500m distances are the last events to assign quotas since they have a max quota of 36 instead of 32. For the men's event, France, Hungary, and Ukraine have the last spots and removing them wouldn't affect the quota totals. Therefore unfortunately, I had to remove one quota from Croatia, Hong Kong and Poland to get the total to 112. We'll see what the NOC does about all this. If anyone actually knows the correct procedures, please comment below. Changes in Quotas from the last update: Men's 500m: No changes Men's 1000m: In: Hong Kong 1 Out: Ukraine 1 Men's 1500m: In: Poland 2 Out: Great Britain 3 Men's 5000m Relay: In: Hungary Out: United States Women's 500m: In: Korea 3 Out: France 2 Women's 1000m: In: Neutral Athletes 1, China 3 Out: Poland 3, Great Britain 1 Women's 1500m: In: Kazakhstan 2, Belgium 2 Out: Great Britain 1, Latvia 1, Slovakia 1, Ukraine 1, Hong Kong 1 Full SOQC's Below: Men's 500m Men's 1000m Men's 1500m Men's 5000m Relay Women's 500m Women's 1000m Women's 1500m Women's 3000m Relay Mixed 2000m Relay *Only for teams with at least 2 men + 2 women

Yes I will certainly be extending the deadline into next week. The Grand Final won’t be happening this side of New Year so there is room to extend the voting deadline. Expect an update on Friday but for sure if you need more time to listen then you have my blessing that the deadline will be extended

@Roamingrover86 has submitted an entry for India by private message which I will reserve as the Indian entry for now until I hear otherwise before the deadline. Once the deadline passes and if we have not heard from @Fly_like_a_don then I will go ahead and post the entry that has been reserved. It means all registered nations have now submitted a song . Still 24 hours left if any other nation wants to surprise us with a last minute appearance

Dumb comment from Polish TV commentator: "Most fans in the stands are wearing white & red colors!"

I´m in Dannyboy, SLO is in for sure

2 days now without changing the body weights again ...very boring

5th for Abigail Strate in women’s large hill at the Lillehammer WC!

Medal for Chen Ying-Chu

Silver medal for Strate to kick off the World Cup season!

Canada will compete in all sports except Netball. Swimming - 12 athletes have been named already to the team Cycling - 10 quotas (5 per gender). 3 will be selected per gender in sprint events and 2 in endurance. All other sports are pending. Some have qualification systems such as 3x3 basketball (we should qualify a full team) and Weightlifting (Maude Charron and Braydon Kennedy are already qualified).

well, it worked very, very well more simple advices like that, please!

Just a reminder, on December 7 at 9:45am PST is the mixed relay at the Skimo WC in Solitude, we need to finish ahead of US to make our Olympic debut in the sport.

Unfortunately, Belgium lost their 2nd women's quotas so we only have 11 teams eligible to enter a team in the mixed relay now. Hong Kong also lost their only female quota while Australia and Latvia gained their first female athletes. One more competition to go. Remember the worst results get dropped so we could see a lot of changes next weekend.

No one’s mentioned it yet, but Steven Dubois also won bronze in the men’s 1000m

I was bored so I decided to do a quota simulation before the winter World Cups really kicked off. Using @Topicmaster1010’s format, hope you don’t mind. I’m predicting 211 athletes in 14 sports, for 104 men and 107 women, a decrease of 4 athletes from Beijing 2022. Alpine Skiing (12 athletes) Projected Athletes in 2026: 12 (6 men + 6 women) # of athletes in 2022: 13 (5 men + 8 women) Decrease of 1 athlete from 2022. For the men, Cameron Alexander and Jack Crawford will for sure qualify barring injury. Jeffery Read, Brodie Seger, Broderick Thompson as well. Riley Seger probably will get the sixth quota. For the women, Valerie Grenier, Alli Nullmeyer, Laurence St Germain, Britt Richardson, Cassidy Gray, and Raphael Lessard. Biathlon (8 athletes) Projected Athletes in 2026: 8 (4 men + 4 women) # of athletes in 2022: 8 (4 men + 4 women) We qualified 4 in each gender through the Nations Cup Rankings. Men just barely made it. Women’s team will probably be Peiffer, Rousseau, Paradis, Moser. Men’s team is less certain, but I’m guessing Connelly, Runnals, Pletz, Borglum (we only have three competing at the first WC…) Bobsleigh (15 athletes) Projected Athletes in 2026: 13 (8 men + 7 women) # of athletes in 2022: 18 (12 men + 6 women) Our men’s team is on a major fall with the retirement of Kripps, so only Pat Norton and Taylor Austin in four-men (although maybe Norton won’t?, not sure what the rankings are looking like) On the women’s side, I have Appiah/Lotholz representing us in monobob, very tough to tell though. Completely unsure as who the two-women teams but if we’re basing it off the evaluation selection races (because I don’t know nearly enough about bobsleigh) I think it’ll be Ribi/Richardson Wilson, Bujnowski/Mitchell and Sieben/Lotholz, mind you this is based off of absolutely nothing. I am curious about why Walkeden/Haughey disappeared though. That would be 7 women and 8 men for a total of 15, down 3 from Beijing 2022. Cross-Country Skiing (11 athletes) Projected Athletes in 2026: 11 (5 men + 6 women) # of athletes in 2022: 9 (4 men + 5 women) Four quotas per gender are official. Sonjaa Schmidt, Liliane Gagnon, Katherine Stewart-Jones, Alison Mackie should make up the women’s team. Antoine Cyr, Oliver Leveille, Xavier McKeever, Remi Drolet should make up the men’s team. Going out on a limb here, think Graham Richie might be on the team as well? Have Olivia Bouffard-Nesbitt and Jasmine Drolet also on the team. Curling (12 athletes) Projected Athletes in 2026: 12 (6 men + 6 women) # of athletes in 2022: 12 (6 men + 6 women) Peterman/Gallant have already qualified, Homan will almost surely qualify, and I have Dunstone winning Olympic Trials so that would be another max team. But between Dunstone, Jacobs, Epping, McEwen and Gushue I could see anyone winning (and even Koe at this stage, with his win over Jacobs at OT) Figure Skating (12 athletes) Projected Athletes in 2026: 12 (6 men + 6 women) # of athletes in 2022: 13 (7 men + 6 women) Already secured one men’s quota, one women’s quota, two pairs quotas, and three ice dance quotas, which is our final team through the results of World Championships. Probablt Madeline Schizas for the women’s spot, barring something unprecedented from Kaiya Ruiter, Gaby Daleman, or Sara-Maude Dupuis. For the men’s spot, Stephen Gogolev is the front-runner with Roman Sadovsky right behind him, and maybe Keegan Messing can insert himself into the mix. Pairs is locked in with Stellato-Dudek/Deschamps and Pereira/Michaud and so is ice dance with Gilles/Poirier, Lajoie/Lagha and Fabbri/Ayer. Freestyle Skiing (32 athletes) Projected Athletes in 2026: 32 (16 men + 16 women) # of athletes in 2022: 32 (16 men + 16 women) Almost surely going to qualify 32, but almost impossible to predict who will qualify in terms of athletes on the bubble because we would be qualifying much much more if there wasn’t a cap. Men: Aerials (3): Alexandre Duchaine, Lewis Irving, Miha Fontaine Moguls (3): Mikael Kingsbury, Julien Viel, Elliot Vaillancourt Ski Cross (4): Reece Howden, Kevin Drury, Jared Schmidt, Kristofer Mahler Halfpipe (3): Brendan MacKay, Andrew Longino, Noah Bowman Slopestyle/Big Air (2): Evan McEachran, Dylan Deschamps, Max Moffatt Women: Aerials (2): Marion Thenault, Charlie Fontaine Moguls (4): Maia Schwinghammer, Laurianne Desmarais-Gilbert, Ashley Koehler, Jessica Linton Ski Cross (4): India Sherret, Marielle Thompson, Hannah Schmidt, Brittany Phelan (No Courtney Hoffos notably) Halfpipe (4): Cassie Sharpe, Rachael Karker, Amy Fraser, Dillan Glennie Slopestyle/Big Air (2): Megan Oldham, Olivia Asselin Very possible that Elena Gaskell makes it instead of Linton or Koehler. Rowell, Katrusiak, Beatty, Porter MacLennan, Therriault, Primeau, David-Chalifoux, Hoffos, McEwen, Urness, both Marineaus all miss out. Ice Hockey (48 athletes) Projected Athletes in 2026: 48 (25 men + 23 women) # of athletes in 2022: 48 (25 men + 23 women) Maybe I’ll do roster predictions eventually, but even with my knowledge I almost always get it wrong so… Luge (7 athletes) Projected Athletes in 2026: 7 (3 men + 4 women) # of athletes in 2022: 6 (3 men + 3 women) Caitlin Nash and Embyr-Lee Susko in women’s singles (Trinity Ellis misses out), one of Dylan Morse/Theo Downey in men’s singles, Wardrope/Zajanski in men’s doubles, and Podulsky/Allan in women’s doubles. Nordic Combined (0 athletes) We are a complete joke at this sport and won’t be qualifying anyone in the next 10000000 years or so Short Track (10 athletes) Projected Athletes in 2026: 10 (5 men + 5 women) # of athletes in 2022: 10 (5 men + 5 women) Projected # of events in 2026: 9 # of events in 2022: 9 Full team pretty much secured. Florence Brunelle, Kim Boutin, Courtney Sarault and Danae Blais will be four of those five women, and the final spot will come down to Rikki Doak/Anne Sophie-Bachand (most likely the former, depending on injury) For the men, William Dandjinou, Felix Roussel, JPG, Steven Dubois, Maxime Laoun will be the relay barring injury. Mathieu Pelletier will be the front runner based off results at the Canadian Championships. Skeleton (4 athletes) Projected Athletes in 2026: 4 (2 men + 2 women) # of athletes in 2022: 3 (1 men + 2 women) A few weeks ago I would’ve said only Halle Clarke and Jane Chanell, but Ryan Kuehn, Josip Brusic, and Zander Greco have been doing good on the NOR-AM circuit and could possibly get us two quotas? Ski Jumping (4 athletes) Projected Athletes in 2026: 4 (1 men + 3 women) # of athletes in 2022: 3 (1 men + 2 women) With Loutitt being injured, think Abigail Strate, Nicole Maurer, Natalie Eilers, and Mackenzie Boyd-Clowes will qualify. Ski Mountaineering (0 athletes) Projected Athletes in 2026: 0 (0 men + 0 women) # of athletes in 2022: 0 Can’t be optimistic about everything. We’re only one point ahead of US for the mixed relay continental quota and there’s only one race to go which they have home crowd advantage, don’t see it happening. Snowboarding (22 athletes) Projected Athletes in 2026: 21 (10 men + 12 women) # of athletes in 2022: 23 (11 men + 12 women) Men: Parallel Giant Slalom (2): Arnaud Gaudet, Ben Heldman Snowboard Cross (3): Eliot Grondin, Evan Bichon, Liam Moffatt Slopestyle/Big Air (4): Cameron Spalding, Liam Brearley, Mark McMorris, Eli Bouchard Halfpipe (1): Liam Gill (13th at last World Championships) Women: Parallel Giant Slalom (3): Aurelie Moisan, Kaylie Buck, Megan Farrell Snowboard Cross (3): Meryeta Odine, Audrey McManiman, Tess Critchlow Halfpipe (3): Elizbeth Hosking, Felicity Geremia, Brooke Dhondt Slopestyle/Big Air (3): Laurie Blouin, Jasmine Baird, Juliette Pelchat No Francis Jobin, either of the Savard-Fergusson’s, Emeraude Maheux, Nicolas Laframboise, Ryan Vo, Speed Skating (14 athletes) Projected Athletes in 2026: 14 (7 men + 7 women) # of athletes in 2022: 16 (8 men + 8 women) Men: 500m (3): Laurent Dubreuil, Christopher Fiola, Cedric Brunet 1000m (2): Laurent Dubreuil, Anders Johnson 1500m (2): David la Rue, Antoine Gelinas-Beaulieu 5000m (1): Ted-Jan Bloemen, Graeme Fish 10000m (1): Ted-Jan Bloemen Mass Start (3): David la Rue, Antoine Gelinas-Beaulieu, Jake Weidemann Women: 500m (3): Carolina Hiller, Beatrice Lamarche, Brooklyn McDougall 1000m (2): Beatrice Lamarche, Alexa Scott 1500m (2): Ivanie Blondin, Beatrice Lamarche? 3000m (3): Isabelle Weidemann, Ivanie Blondin, Valerie Maltais 5000m (2): Isabelle Weidemann, Ivanie Blondin Mass Start (2): Ivanie Blondin, Valerie Maltais No Connor Howe, in terrible form, possibly due to an injury? Same with Graeme Fish, Daniel Hall, Madison Pearman. Don’t think our men’s team pursuit will qualify either. Brooklyn McDougall and Alexa Scott have done well enough these first few World Cups to warrant a spot on the team.

Bronze in the mixed relay

So we made it to 34 nations! I will update the table on the first page in the morning with all the entries and as the host, I will be submitting my votes some time before Monday. I will make an announcement here when we will open up the voting to all juries.

Connor Howe is on the startlist for the B 1500 m

6th for Melissa Lotholz at the Cortina D’Ampezzo WC, test event for the Olympics!

GOLD and SILVER to Sweden already before final. An all Swedish Gold medal game. So so impressed by our guys.

Bloemen showed he is a medal contender in Milan, and also took a huge step towards qualifying for the 10k

Monster skate! Track record!

Bronze for Maltais!! fourth for Weidman

Stephen Gogolev is sitting in second after the short program at Skate Finland with 89.35 points! It’s been a while since we have had a singles skater in medal position at a Grand Prix. Madeline Schizas is also in third place with a seasons best 65.16 points.

Anyway, another 3 free quotas for concacaf is too much, I think But congrats to all of them ofc

Nigeria coach says Congo used black magic against them https://indeksonline.net/en/Nigeria-coach-says-they-were-cursed-by-black-magic-after-elimination-by-Congo/

The fact that DR Congo eliminated Cameroon and Nigeria is one of the biggest surprises in the history of WC preliminaries.

3rd and 4th for the men!

Wow! What a rollercoaster this campaign has been for us! We have been so bad in earlier games that it’s hard to believe what happened this week with 2 unexpected victories. As Irish fans who experienced similar heart-wrenching results over the years, we can certainly empathise with our Hungarian counterparts for that lake sucker punch. Still don’t see a way for us to qualify but at least we are still alive!

I was happy Weidemann looked in pretty good form after a couple off years. All three members of the Team Pursuit team look to be dialed in for their defense. Had heard talk that Lamarche was putting up great times during training... they weren't kidding, huge breakthrough for her!

Beatrice Lamarche with a huge 1:12.77 and into first place!!!

Takes almost 3 seconds off her PB! Weidemann takes 5th, Blondin 8th, Hall 13th. Looking good for the pursuit!

to face on Sunday for a place to the Intercontinental playoffs. Our Algerian friend must be thrilled.

Canada won 14 medals at the Youth Parapan American Games in Chile. 32 out of 35 athletes competing, won a medal

Reminder to all: there are 11 days left to submit your song for the 2025 TISC Annual. Entries close at 21:00 GMT on Thursday, 20th November. So far 4 nations have submitted their song entries. At the moment we have 31 nations represented. Hopefully we can get at least one more to surpass TISC Annual 2015 as the TISC with the fewest number of nations participating (31). We have 39 jury members registered. We have 6 multi-member juries as it stands with Italy leading the way as usual with 4 jury members.

Sophiane Methot wins bronze at the World Championships.

Fine, representation is here

I’ll join as well to make sure our votes remain wonderfully eclectic.
