He was born in Poland, close to Warsaw. He moved to Paris at the age 20, and yes, his name does sound very French. His father was of French origin. To my knowledge, despite him leaving Poland, he never forgot his country and he loved it very much. When he died, to early unfortunately, his last wish was that his heart was taken out and sent back to Poland to rest, as his heart never left this place where he grew up. From what I understand, and have being told, they actually did take out his heart during his autopsy and it was sent back in a box to Poland and placed inside a wall of a cathedral in Warsaw. The rest of his body was buried in Paris.

I picked Norway to win, but it's really close between so many teams. If I had to come with my best guess for the other teams in the semifinals, it would be, Netherlands, ROC and France. Also, I see good chances for Spain and Montenegro to take two spots in the semifinals. The rest of the teams have less of a chance to reach this stage in my opinion. Edit: My prediction for the podium would be Gold: Norway Silver: ROC Bronze: Netherlands

@rybak Tiny little thing I noticed. Isn't Portugal's national jury time suppose to be 17:00-17:15, not 19:00-19:15?

Final Standing available here juliosilva Agger Vojthas After some days with the uncertainty if this world championship could be completed, yesterday the last games of the championship were completed with Sweden and skip Edin as the champions. Unfortunately due to the adjusted time schedule, the semifinals and the medal matches couldn't be counted in the prediction contest and it had to end prematurely. After counting the points from the Top 3 predictions, the three medallists of this prediction contest are, @juliosilva, @Agger, @Vojthas. Big congratulation to all three medallists. With a superior point differential of 13 points to the nearest predictor, @juliosilva secured the gold medal. He was in top of the table through many days and had very solid predictions throughout the contest. This is his first gold of 2021 and his third medal in total already this season. He becomes the first with a complete medal set in 2021 and cement his position as one of the top predictors this year. A huge congratulation with the gold medal. Well-deserved! In second place and securing the silver medal was @Agger. Being around the top 3 through contest, and with solid points from the Top 3 predictions, he secured himself the second highest spot on the podium. This is his second medal of 2021 and the first of silver. Big congratualtion with a deserved 2nd place and silver medal! Last predictor on the podium is one who probably came in with big ambition of winning a medal and that is of course none other than @Vojthas. The keen curling enthusiast and curler himself, wasn't in a position of a medal before the counting of the Top 3 predictons, but with a great score of 15 points, he jumped from a place outside the podium to a 3rd place in the final standing and securing the bronze medal. This is his first medal of 2021 and one I assume he really appreciate to have secured. Big congrats with the bronze medal! The three honourable mentions for this contest will be, @Monzanator, @hckošice and @Henry_Leon. @Monzanator was by the end of the contest firmly in the race for a podium spot and even with a solid 12 points from his Top 3 predictions he just narrowly missed out on winning his second medal this year. Still a very great contest from the always solid Polish predictor. In 5th place came @hckošice. He was long in a position for a medal, but with only collecting 2 points from the Top 3 predictions he unfortunately fell out of the contest for a medal. However, from his reaction earlier in this contest, a 5th place overall seems to be a satisfying result for him. His eyes are now set for the upcoming prediction contests which probably are the most important ones for him personally with the women's and men's ice hockey world championships prediction contests. Will he finally be able to win a gold medal in an ice hockey prediction contest? Only time will tell. Last honourable mention goes to @Henry_Leon who once again had a solid contest and got a 6th place in the final standing. He continues his good 2021 prediction form. Lastly, thank you to all who participated in this prediction contest, and once again, I'm sorry it had to end prematurely. Sometimes things out of our control happens unfortunately. As teased above the next two prediction contests will be the women's and men's ice hockey world championships. The women's will kick-off in the beginning of May and the men's will begin later in May. I hope to see many predictors giving it shot for glory in these contests. Finally, an updated version of the General Standings and the Medal Tables will be published later this week. That's all from me, your prediction contest manager, Wumo.

Update about the Men's Curling WCF World Championship 2021 Prediction Contest: It has now become official that the remaining play-off games will go ahead: https://worldcurling.org/2021/04/wmcc2021-update/ They will all be played today in a tight time schedule. Due to the even tighter time schedule now after the postponement, I unfortutanely have to inform that the Semifinals and Medal Matches will not be counted in the standing, as I see it, it would be too short of a notice for all contestants to make their predictions between rounds. It wouldn't be fair to me to expect everybody would be able to make predictions in the middle of night when it's Monday tomorrow. I'm really sorry for all the inconvenience these last days has caused and a prediction contest has to end in such a way. The top 3 predictions will be counted in the final standing and the complete final standing will be ready at some point tomorrow. I hope you all will understand this decision, or at least to some degree, and I'm sorry it had to come to this.

You are absolutely correct about it. I hadn't really taken notice of that. Sorry! At the moment, we don't know when, or if the matches, will be contested. I would suggest all contestants to keep an eye on updates and news from these championships. I will post an update in this thread when we know more about when the matches will continue and scheduled to go ahead. To all those contestants who have posted their predictions, if the Semifinals are placed within a close time schedule to the last Qualification Game, I would really consider not to count these Semifinals due to lack of time to make predictions.

Bríet - Esjan Unfortunately the version above is blocked in many countries and I can't find any other studio version on youtube. But I will add this live perfomance which should be available for all.
