Well... I'm late, as always, but unfortunately I couldn't follow live and I've just finished catching up with the thread. 
 
Congratulations to our winner @Hipooo and to @Belle and @Erigert on their medals. 
 
Well done to our host @Cinnamon Bun, who put up a huge effort managing the contest.
 
Thank you to everyone who voted for our song and helped us achieve this 5th place. I saw we were very close to a podium finish, but this is still a great result.
 
Congratulations to @Makedonas on the very successful song choice.
 
I'll now share my ballot.

I'm looking forward to seeing you all in the next contest!

Today I unpacked some of the boxes in which we have put my way too many books to move to our house, and I came across these beauty's I hadn't seen for a while
 
 
Absolutely recommended, tough to get for a decent price, but they are such an interesting read with lots of very interesting little stories! Still looking for at least 1900, 1904 and 1906, but not really in the right moment to spend money on that now, so the wait goes on  

UWW's new rules for change of nationality
 
this doesn't look great for likes of Bahrain, Albania, Bulgaria, Slovakia, Serbia and few more. 
 
still it won't make a huge huge impact for the next Olympic cycle because each NOC still can use 2 mercenaries per style in each tournament but after 2028 it will be reduced to just 1. 
 
some of those countries already have 3 or 4 (or more) Russian mercenaries per style. from now on they have to pick 2 of them for each tournament.

I assumed the new rule applies to previous mercenaries too

also you can't wrestle for another country without a passport. (UWW allowed that for some years) current non-national wrestlers can continue like that until the end of 2026 though.
 
it could be better but in general I'm OK with new rules. good job by UWW. 

I'm all in favor of this and it was about time. Wrestling has become table tennis 2.0 and in some cases even worse. In European Championships from 20 wrestlers in a weight you were seeing 7-8 foreigners. Yes, it's mostly Russians, but there are also Ukrainians, Georgians, Cubans being naturalized. 
 
I've said it numerous times, that i don't approve the tactic our federation started of naturalizing people left and right. Which actually wasn't paying off that much, until the Olympics. If it leads to worse results, than it's just a wakeup call for the destruction of our wrestling system (which has been evident for 15 years).

Start order made a massive difference, to be fair, even more so in the second run, but still

Correction to earlier results: 
 
Earlier today, I mistakenly left  out of  jury votes meaning they get an extra 8 points and , , , , ,, and  all lose 1 point. 
 
 
 
 Greece 
 
 
 Mexico 12  Romania 11   Bulgaria 10   Spain 9   Czech Republic 8   Sweden 7   India 6
 Malta 5   Brazil 4   Argentina 3   Indonesia 2   China
1   

And we give 12 points to
 
 
 United States 12  Chile 11   Greece 10   Guatemala 9   Argentina  8   New Zealand 7   Lithuania 6   Great Britain
5   China 4   Denmark 3   Poland 2   Netherlands 1   
 
And that completes the results of the votes from the Mexican National Jury.
See you next time and have a great day!

is up next! However, the host has asked me to hold back a bit and wait for him to give the green light, to avoid everything snowballing out of control (which I'm sure everyone who has ever hosted TISC can perfectly understand ).
 
So the Dutch jury is ready to post the votes, we're just waiting and entertaining ourselves with some drinks!

Gracias cuate for the points!!
