My dear Totallympic friends,

TOISC 2022 is over. I hope you enjoyed this edition and you will have only great memories on Czechia.
Big congratulation to @Bohemia and @Benolympique . I believe at your homes sounds La Marseillaisa. 
As a participant, I would like to say thank you all of juries which gave us soma points 
 
... and I'm going to sleep, I am tired to death

Okay, fine, you are probably curious about the final results.
 
Let's see how unpredictable I am this this time!
3rd SPAIN 10 4th PORTUGAL 9 5th GREAT BRITAIN 8 6th INDIA 7 7th UKRAINE 6 8th SWEDEN 5 9th SLOVAKIA 4 10th SERBIA 3 11th GREECE 2 12th CROATIA 1

Great to see Greece in top 10 after all these years as well as Croatia reaching the same milestone. 
 
NZ probably in top 40 so that is not THAT bad  

Officially guaranteed our first ever top 10 finish, hopefully it will be out first top 5 also!

Here are the votes from Indonesia

I guess we no longer have a chance to make the podium 
 
Still we are looking likely to make our first top 10 finish ever in either TAISC or TOISC! 

A few notes from me. I'm usually not the guy who votes for the mainstream acts, but had to make an exception this time. Like mentioned above, Helene Fischer is one artist that i enjoy, so it was a nice surprise to see her in the contest. The US is the next one that benefited greatly, since Battlefield is probably the one song from Jordin Sparks i like and it goes way back. I haven't voted for them in some of their previous popular attempts but couldn't resist this time. But still waiting for some juggernaut song from the past to appear. 
 
And Greece fits this role to a degree as well. For many it's probably not a well known song, but believe me, here it is still frequently rotated on the radio. 
 
I'm surprised, that Spain and Italy are doing well, given that they are older songs (especially Spain, who are doing amazing). There are so many better Gianni Morandi songs, this one didn't click with me at all unlike Spain. 
 
Croatia and France are just very good song, that i like instantly, so it was a no-brainer, that they would get high scores.

Здравейте музикални фенове! След сладката вечеря е време да засилим партито.
Ето и първите гласове от България:
 
 
Hello music lovers! After the sweet dinner it's time to kick this party in high gear.
Here are the first votes from Bulgaria:
 
3rd FRANCE 10 4th UNITED STATES 9 5th ARGENTINA 8 6th GREECE 7 7th CHINA 6 8th MALTA 5 9th ROMANIA 4 10th SPAIN 3 11th MEXICO 2 12th CHILE 1

I had a feeling Sweden would give us high points considering the connections that Antique have with Sweden 
 
That was what we were hoping for when we selected it! We have never done well at any TISC despite being one of the few nations with many many participations.
 
This song was very popular in the late 90s/early 00s in many other countries, and it is one of the most viewed Greek songs on Youtube even though Youtube didn't exist back then.
 
This makes us so happy, we tried a lot to do different things in the last few years because we wanted to finally make the top 10 after so many years of trying. I was starting to give up to be honest.

Do you like a sweet dinner?
Today I serve sweet "krupicová kaše" - semolina porridge with chocolate and cinnamon  
 

Krupicová kaše is a Czech term referring to a popular semolina pudding that is cooked in lightly sweetened milk. Although modern varieties are often flavored with cinnamon, rum, raisins, ground walnuts, or fresh fruit, krupicová kaše is typically eaten plain, or simply topped with butter and a sprinkle of sugar and cocoa powder.

It is usually served warm as a hearty breakfast, light afternoon snack, or a sweet, nutritious dinner.

I’d like a TOISC at the Panathenaic Stadium please 
 
It would be hard to find a more appropriate venue anyway 

I would be so happy if Greece did win. 

The Greek song is so catchy so I can understand why it’s right up there. I had a sneaking suspicion they would do quite well this time!

Thank you @Belle!

I think it's safe to say that  will get their first ever Top10 placement at TISC.
