  1. And still no one is safe, very tight games.
  2. Santiago Gonzalez gets his 19th ATP title in doubles, a couple pf days after turning 40, with partner Edouard Roger-Vasselin at Marseille’s 250.
  3. Well Brazil can defeat USA “D” team. I’m more worried about Mexico being overconfident and losing in Montevideo.
  4. Well you can always follow the often silly IG adventures of team Mexico: Biathlon Team Mexico (@busthlon.team.mexico) Raul Figueroa (@thetacotales) Chris Gomez (@chris_gomez_m)
  5. Great to see @brunamoura back in action, I know I'm not the only one in the forum cheering for her. Also good to see Mexico decided to send some competitors in Cross Country, hoping some of them get decent results, although I'm not expecting them to qualify.
  6. Oh, absolutely it makes sense, unlike some previous taxes in Mexico for having a dog or too many windows (both in the period between the US and French Third Empire invasions). However the tone of the article that hckosice read, gave the impression Mexican artists, and of course anyone doing a painting, could get a general tax exemption.
  7. Well is not completely true, but I’m glad you ask something I like to present to the rest of the forum, so welcome to Mexican Tax Law 101. As I suppose it’s the case in most other countries, tax legislation has many elements: one of them is the subject (that is the person who’s legally obliged to pay) and another one is the object (the act or activity which originates the obligation of the subject to pay). So, under Mexican law, artists (the subject) must pay Income Tax only if they profit from their artistic production (the object), meaning that only when they earn money by selling their paintings to collectors, galleries and general public. So in that regard, they must determine and pay the authority every year from said earnings. However, starting from the mid seventies according to a quick research, they can actually pay the Income Tax “in kind”, that is by donating their pictures to the state, instead of doing it with actual money, subject to some conditions. In short, and I have some previous experience myself, Mexican Tax authority is one of the most vicious (yet rather efficient) in the World, so sadly, no matter how much paintings I produce, I’ll continue with my obligation to pay
  8. Amazong result for Mexican Kevin Peraza at the first stop of the Freestyle world cup, earning 7th place
  9. M E X I C O Hello Totallympics! It's a pleasure to be once again part of the Annual International Song Contest, this time travelling to Seville, once the main link city between Spain and Mexico. I'm proud to announce this year we had our first official festival to pick the Mexican entry for this edition (with the complete set available for your consideration after national juries have sent their votes). Just like last year, Mexico will be present with a collaboration between Los Rumberos, a duet formed in 2013 by Lito de la Isla & Paul Sefchovich, and have brought back the traditional Cuban rumba and son styles, combined with folk Mexican and pop rock sounds, pleasantly fused with the urban style of Sabino, a "soft" hip hop artist that made his debut in 2012, whom now present a song in which a man is seeking the advice of his close friends about dumping and getting back with an ungrateful lover. Here for Totallympians to enjoy, I leave you with Sabino & Los Rumberos No me vuelvo a involucrar Lyrics in Spanish Lyrics in English H
  10. Probably the oldest, and by far, alpine skier in the world. I’m more curious about his outfit than his result, though. Best of luck to Sarah Schlepper in women’s GS.
  11. If anyone wants to watch, here’s the live broadcast
  12. My bad. I checked last two world championships and they didn’t competed in both, but glad they’re back
  13. Well, let’s say it was 11:00 am for me, so I was trying to still be optimistic. 12 hours later, I still mantain they’re not bad, just different of what we have been used to, that is anthropomorphic images.
  14. I think this event might even be scrapped. Apart from USA and Brazil, Canada is the only other country that has competed in the event during this cycle. Argentina last competed 3 years ago and not have made a comeback. That leaves only 3 crews, plus the hosts, competing, which is not enough for the event to be considered official. I’m guessing probably a late Argentinian return or a US crew posing as Puerto Rican or US Virgin Islands could be added to save face.
  15. I don’t like the “reverse/mirror” thing. It made them a little bit confusing. Other than that I think they can say they made something different. Although artistic swimming could be a little sexist or non inclusive, coming from the “progressive” IOC leadership
  16. Well Kenya and not Gabon are between Finland and Georgia, go figure.
  17. I’ll take that challenge for that spot, as Mexican music is becoming crappier each year. will be present in Sevilla.
  18. Merry Christmas fellow Totallympians! I wish you enjoy the holidays with your loved ones.
