After 19 scoreless turns, finally some joy for the British team.

Yup, I knew GB can count on LTU

Great Britain right now
 

@Werloc well worth the wait!! thank you very very much

GREAT BRITAIN 11  
  ITALY 10  
  SWEDEN 9   CROATIA 8   BRAZIL 7   NORWAY 6   SWITZERLAND 5   MEXICO 4   IRELAND 3   ESTONIA 2   PORTUGAL 1  
 

Or go in with the likes of Ed Sheeran or Adele. Even better yet, get them together to make a duet and look at your 1000 points at the end of the day

The penguins will like that!

Note to self: bring back Birdy next year!

I expected GB to score pretty high. Not top 10 but definitely close to top 15.
 
Maybe macho Totallympics community didn't want to be over-emotional  

Great Britain has been scoreless for 8 turns. That equals their longest ever pointless streak in TISC history. One more votes and they might break it...
 
Exactly the same goes for Indonesia in fact, but Great Britain has been around 2013 so it's more shocking.

So the committee says it's:

So the committee says it's:

THE QUOTE IS GONE!!! 

The devil is here

Continuing with the South American theme this night, the Organizing Committee is proud to finally unveil the logo for the Totallympics Annual International Contest 2018.
 
The main figure for this logo, the arara-vermelha (Red-and-green macaw) is a large species widespread in the forests and woodlands of northern and central South America, especially in Brazil, Paraguay and Argentina. However - in common with other macaws - there has been a decline in its numbers due to habitat loss and illegal capture. With the use of its image here at the logo, we hope to raise awareness to this fact, but also celebrate its beauty.
 
In the logo, the bird is combined with musical waves (to bring a music element) that also resembles the Sugarloaf Mountain in Rio.
 
Ladies and gentleman, the official logo of TISC 2018:
 
 

 

Totallympics Annual International Song Contest 
 Countdown to Brazil 2018 
 

 
 
days to go....
 

 
TISC and the number 2:
 
2 - is the number of times that Great Britain has lifted the TISC trophy. 2 - is the number of times Germany, Italy, Colombia and France have each finished on the TISC podium. 2 - is the number of times that Ireland has hosted TISC. 2 - is the number of times that Australia, Latvia and Montenegro have each participated at TISC. 2 - is the number of nations from Oceania that have participated at TISC.

At the 1-week mark to the Grand Final of the Totallympics Annual International Song Contest 2018, the organizing committee is proud to announce this year official motto. From Algeria to Italy, and Kazakhstan to Venezuela, more than 50 nations have participated at least one time throughout the 10 editions of the contests, with countries representing Africa, Asia, Europe, Oceania and the Americas. After having as hosts nations such as Great Britain, Ireland, Lithuania, Mexico and Tunisia, TISC arrives for the first time in South America, as the celebrations will take place in Brazil next weekend.
 
Twice a year, users from around the world reunite on Totallympics in a big celebration of the universal language of music. In the words of the late singer John Denver, "music does bring people together. It allows us to experience the same emotions. People everywhere are the same in heart and spirit. No matter what language we speak, what color we are, the form of our politics or the expression of our love and our faith, music proves: We are the same." That was one of the inspirations for the Brazil 2018 contest official motto "Music connects the world" (Música conecta o mundo, in portuguese), but mostly this is about all the forum members that make this such a special event.
 

For Football only England can gain the quota (like Scotland in Curling) and at the moment the other home nations are happy for English players to form a GB team without needing any players from Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland to join the squad. This only applies to women's football, there will not be a GB men's team competing.

Niue is even better, 1 in ever 85 citizens will compete for them at the games

Not a clue, there are some funny stories in the teams though!
Imo Fiamalua (Tuvulu's Javelin Thrower) has 4 caps for the National Football Team and scored for the Tuvulu Futsal team at the Oceanian Championships.
Montserrat have even managed to enter 6 athletes into the 4x100m Relay, which means 1 in every 980 people in Montserrat will be competing in their relay team!

All team sizes added to the first page.
Australia as hosts will have the largest team of 474, with England (396) and Canada (282) rounding out the top 3 largest delegations.
Gambia with 6 athletes has the smallest team as it was only allowed to compete a few days ago, both Tuvalu and Montserrat with 7 athletes each have the other smallest teams. Brunei who only had 1 athlete in 2014, has 10 in 2018 who will all compete in Lawn Bowls.
