Loredana Bertè is among automatic finalists in  selections, I keep fingers for her, maybe she will finally enter the Eurovision stage.
 
PS. If anybody care about, few days ago I was on concert, in my home city, of last year San Marino entrant, Piqued Jacks and once more I will say that they didn't deserved to finish last with nul points. Their song maybe wasn't the best but surely wasn't the worst one + those guys are so friendly and polite. I wish they will try to compete again, in near or farer futer, with good song, like their one of the latest songs called "The Gum" 

Yes

It's likely that  will withdrew from this year contest, their entry is supposed to be called "October Rain" and includes those words in song. EBU will probalby force them to change the lyrics and the title, but Israeli television KAN announced today that they will not change anything, if EBU will still demand the change then Israel will withdraw.

Australia is European country, you didn't knew that?  
 

Good for them, seems Samoa will have a very big team in Paris, of course for their standards. Although I had hope that either Guam or Palau will get it.

I'm surprised that we are still able to win medals at European Championships, when it's very possible that we will not qualify anyone to Paris, first time since 1948....
 
Too bad (despite gold medal!!) that Weronika Zielińska-Stubińska in -81kg will not improve her place in ranking... 
 
Besides PanAmerican and Oceanian Championships + World Cup in Thailand is there any other event left where athletes can improve their ranking?

This time 0.01 better than OQT 
 
And bronze for Wasick with huge PB and NR 

No, as long as their prelim time or time from last year’s Worlds ranks among the 13 best times of all countries.

Dubreuil is the best of the rest and Żurek wins a great bronze medal. 

I'm hoping that Lana will able to repeat this place in Paris, a Olympic medal for Bosnia would be amazing.

I know there’s about a 0.0000001% chance of it happening, but go  

131th in ranking Maciej Kubik was leading 2-0 with 14th ranked Woojin Jang but he lost
