Still the smoke & mirrors show? Just announce Salt Lake City and stop the "bidding" nonsense

Olympics 2036: Juan Antonio Samaranch Jr. encourages Budapest

Yeah, they need to follow canoeing and have a rule where at least 2 or 3 nations have to compete for the quota to be valid.
 
I do like the emerging nations quotas, it helps nations which are good in other sports, but developing in the sport in question. I always found it unfair for nations like Ethiopia and Jamaica where they are quite weak in almost all sports, but because of athletics they are not eligible for tripartite quotas.

Albania would have made it just by having a semi-erotic show, I guess? Because the singing just didn't work, at all  
 
Austria was the most disappointing I think. Their song sounds excellent in the studio version, but the live performance was....not good. I guess the singer just isn't experienced enough yet and got sort of stuck with having such a huge audience.

A nice recap of all the wrestling quotas earned this week.

Beach volleyball: South America guaranteed 7 spots per tournament, most likely 8 (+1 or +2 from Lima). Sucks for the smaller Caribbean islands.

More qualification system news:
Badminton: Same system as 2019, May 2, 2023 ranking to be used. Canada has the potential to have 10 athletes (due to Cali winners).
Cycling BMX: Men and women each have 20 slots (basically balancing the quota from 2019)
Athletics: Quota stays the same, program will be the same as in Paris, all field events reduced to 12 athletes max (down from 14-16 in 2019). Now the games are being held at a bad time, so its likely everyone who wants to compete can. There is no qualification times/distances, rather the winner of four qualifying events + the World rankings from Jan 1, 2022 to September 18, 2023 will be used.

A total of 16 countries qualified wrestlers at the qualification tournament, one more than the ENTIRE 2019 Pan Am qualified list, with half the quotas still left. Not bad! (Does not include wild cards)

My deep appreciation to all users who enjoyed the Mexican entry, including @Werloc & @hckošice, who had it as reserve; this was one of the few good songs  last year in my country.
 
My greatest recognition to other deserving songs I wanted to award points, but sadly, had to cut this time:
 
 (R1),  (R2),  (R3),  (R4), plus in no particular order:       .
 
This years entries were on a very similar level, so it was heartbreak everytime I had to cut one.
 
Ona final note, Seamus and I will be enjoying our combo of Beer and Tequila, as I we enjoy our gyros.
 

Congrats @Cobi 

Went for a little cycle in the afternoon and from then on I was mostly behind on everything, but I've read up and so, congratulations to Spain and @Cobi  
 
Spain was my first reserve and made it back onto the list plenty of times, but ended up in that 13th place (ahead of Mexico and Brazil). I did like the song, so I'm happy with the winner

My first TISC participation was the 2019 Open contest and guess what TISC meme originated from that contest? I guess the prophecy was right, Spain had to win the contest which was hosted by me.  Joking aside, Spain collected 160 points, 4 x 12 pts from    , 1 x 11 pts from  and 3 x 10 pts from   . There are no questions about which was the strongest nation of this contest. I would like to congratulate @Cobi, Spain was long overdue for this kind of success in TISC. And now we shall end the contest the way every song contest should, with the winning song.
 
Goodbye 2022 Annual Contest, Goodbye Hungary, see ya at the next contest, hopefully in Czech Republic, and then next year in Spain!
 
 

Tanxugueiras - TERRA

I would like to thank everyone who made this contest possible. @Sindo for maintaining the site, @OlympicIRL for their guidance, @dcro for their contributions, @vinipereira for the logo of the contest, @mrv86 for the draw tables. @hckošice @Cinnamon Bun @Cobi @Wumo for their participation in the draw. And of course I would like to thank all the jury members who participated in the contest.
 
And as the jury member of Hungary I would also like to thank everyone who voted for our song. I never expected this song to reach the 6th place, that was the most surprising result of the contest for me. Thank you! 

Szózat
 
 
Before we end the ceremony and the contest with the winners, there's one more Hungarian tradition that I want to share. We start our ceremonies with our anthem and we end our ceremonies with another national song, the Szózat (Summons), which is considered the second anthem of Hungary. So to respect this tradition, Hungary is saying goodbye to TISC with the Szózat.

My reserves were (in order) , , and .
 
None of these countries got points from Greece except for my top 4. I guess that's how it is on a multi-member jury.
 
 
Also I'd like to thank  @IoNuTzZfor giving us 9 points and  @Memo for 3 points 

oh come on. It is not only my fault
 
and it is just a game, I am pretty sure @mrv86 already has forgotten about it and is looking forward to select somthing the next edition. (at least I hope )
