    That doesn’t change the fact that many of the winners are English language songs, and most of the top 10 all-time are also in English.

    Ehm... I compiled detailed analysis on this. It clearly shows that English songs on average tend to collect about 50% (!) more points than the non-English songs.
     
    Average points-per-jury (2013 Open - 2019 Open)
    English songs - 2.77
    non-English songs - 1.80
     
    50% is just too much. Even statistical tests strongly suggest that this is not some random outcome, but rather a clear sign that English songs get better results.
     
    And before you say "There are many more non-English songs". That's not really the case. About 40% of all-time songs are in English.
     
    But if we narrow that pool...
    Percentage of English songs in the Top 10 - 68%

    I notice that everyone who has no time for the Commonwealth Games comes from non Commonwealth countries 
    The surprising thing is why on earth you have an opinion on something you have nothing to do with at all 
    Personally I have no interest in European only events but I certainly wouldn't bother telling the world about it 
    PS I also have no interest in Eurovision which may explain why I have never commented on it

    And the cases may remain like that for few more days after massive rain and thunderstorms hitting in the southern and coastal parts . The entire week may be like that rain and thunderstorms in some of the districts .

    Karnataka has no doubt been among the best managed state. They have also been blessed with small number of TJ cases.

    And in the very same games Vanuatu won a bronze in women's Beach volleyball. They narrowly lost a 3 setter to the Australian pair before the Australians give a stiff resistance to the Canadians before going down.
     
    Interestingly enough the Canadians are the reigning world champions and one of the favourites for Olympic Gold next year in Tokyo.

    Alright. I got it now. The para athlete won the first ever bronze medal.  No wonder I didn't realise it. I usually do not focus much on para athletes. Sorry.
     
    The country won its first ever Commonwealth Games medal, a bronze won by para athlete Friana Kwevira in the women's javelin throw (F46) event.

    Australia is too big itself. Vanuatu is not a famous place in Australia. We focus too much on Sydney, Melbourne and other big cities instead.

    Thank you very much for your valuable information. I also get to know the name of another country name Vanuatu after you posted the news today. Never know that this country existed before this.

    If it could easily infect Australia, Singapore and Indonesia in such warmer temperatures so nothing new. We are going to stage 4 soon, we may overtake USA...

    I guess it will be much easier for non European teams at the games since they'd be exhausted at Euro 2020 just 10 days ago .

    I don’t watch much sports outside of multi-sports games, so it does for me . I probably watch a competition or two every week, but that’s about it. I go all in on multi-sports games, so these changes do mean a lot for the few us who love multi-sports games. 
     
    Like you said though, there is another way to look at this. 2022, 2023 are going to be jam-packed years of multi-sports games.

    Fly_like_a_don got a reaction from Olympian1010 in Which Sports Events are you Currently Watching?   
    Pacific Mini Games is a good option. Though I watched few days live once upon a time I'd surely have many unwatched  events .
     
    AIMAG 2017 has replays but not in 1 playlist. Like some Vietnamese channel has futsal, some judo, hope somehow I get more of them. But I'm sure youll get them. 
     
    Summer Deaflimpics is certainly a good choice considering I never watched the games.

    I’ve tried and tired, but I haven’t found much besides the ceremonies for Ashgabat2017. I could write the ISB for you to see if they can release some, but I bet they can’t help.
     
    I have no clue about 2013. I start looking around tomorrow (you caught just as I was going to sleep).
     
    I do have the Mediterranean Games. Here is a playlist of the events broadcasted by TAC12 (and some other events broadcast elsewhere, that were uploaded to YouTube by other users.): 

    The Olympic Channel also has a great selection of replays. However, you probably won’t find anything if you search 2018 Mediterranean Games. You have search stuff like “ Canoe Finals Day 3” or “Swimming Day 2”. 
     
    2017 Summer Deaflympics (broadcast quality gets better after the first few videos):

    2017 Pacific Mini Games (streams are a little out of order (sorry)):

    I have many other options as well, just like me know if there’s anything else you want. I’ll check up on the 2013 AIMAG for you.
