(I am only kidding ofc)

my biggest sports fear, scare and concern at the moment... we're not qualified yet
 
I just can't accept the possibility that we wouldn't play there

Here is a rendering of one of the hockey venues:
 

intoronto: "I Like All Genres, Except Heavy Metal"
 

 
Earlier this year Canada became the first non-European nation (and non-EU member in general) to win the Grand Final. In doing so, Canada also became the first winning nation to enter a song which mentions the name of its own head juror - "I'm in Toronto and I got this view."
 
As we are now exactly one week away from the Opening Ceremony in Holland, it is an ideal time to catch up with our latest champion...
 
Q: How do you go about evaluating TISC entries? Do you use a specific system when picking out your Top 12?
A: I try to listen to all the songs "blindly" (as in not knowing which country). I will discard any song that I do not like right away. From there I will try to narrow it down to my top 12 and then find out the country associated with each song.
 
Q: And what about the maximum 12 points? Can you recognize it immediately? Or do you take a certain amount of time before deciding on it?
A: It takes time, I don't think it's set after listening to the song for the first time.
 
Q: Do you have a favorite music genre? Is there any genre you would like to hear more of on the TISC stage?
A: I like all genres, except heavy metal (seriously, wtf, who can listen to that crap lol?)
 
Q: How important are lyrics to you?
A: Not that important, but they need to make sense. 
 
Q: And finally... How can we get 12 points from intoronto?
A: Make the song sound amazing!
 
If intoronto's musical preferences still feel like a jigsaw puzzle - maybe this will help. The resident Canadian juror has outlined the following entries as favorites during his most recent TISC participations...
 
 
 
Stay tuned for more user interviews to come, as we count down to TOISC 2020...

Yea that part did not apply to you sorry. I misclicked quoting your post. I thought I removed it but it still shows. Sorry lol

just like OAR in 2018 ..
 
btw the same is for SVK now. 2010 : 1-2-0, 2018 : 1-2-0....coincidences ?

What makes you think that? Williamson is a well known and common Japanese surname.

sent 5 competitors and all made it to a medal match. Not bad. 3 medals, and a fourth possible later today.

Not surprised, people preach gender equality, but now men have less events, so its technically not gender equality, lol
 
Hamilton 2026 (the next games bid) was touting they are the first games to offer more for women, but I guess not trolol.
 
The 10km race walk is absolutely shocking. Who decided to approve this bs? @heywoodu@hckosice
 
All the events are expected more or less, at least men's events were not dropped to get more women's events.

Happy that more para athletes will get a shot too compete as well, which is unique about these games. 
 
Disappointed in the team sizes for the team sports. Basketball can easily have 12 per event, beach volleyball 16, rugby women can go to 12.
