If you would look at our result history, we never climb in pursuits. Yes, Kočergina managed to climb 1 spot last time with 1+1+0+0, but that was the shooting of her life time, which she will not achieve tomorrow. We are terrible at head to head races and with 4 shooting stages it's even worse

Very very close to the points, would have been a very good day if we managed to score the first points on the women's side, but I guess it's not meant to be this season. We have a lot of things to fix. The most important thing is consistency, we also need to work on the shooting, the ski-speed is also sad for some athletes. The men could have won the 5 quotas for the Olympics, but they just didn't show up this year and brushed it off on sickness, with the women, there is even a deeper problem. Hopefully the main team will stick around for at least 3 more years to give the youth time to grow up to the wc level, because if they retire after the Olympic season, our biathlon is dead and we'll go back to starting 1-2 athletes every world cup

Also, it seems that we beat the Estonian women team today in the sprint and we'll have a mixed relay at the Olympics

Well, I am extremely happy for Mari Laukkanen. Was waiting a long time for her first career win

What I wouldn't give for a Laukkanen win today

I guess this just comes from my general love of music, real life experience of judging and respect for the contest. I couldn't do it any other way if I tried Though I can completely understand not wanting to spend hours and hours listening and analysing every little part of every song

I can explain why I take time to vote during a longer period of time. Firstly, it is proven that you need to listen to a song more than 2,3 times to fully experience the effect of it and to realise its full potential. Secondly, I make 3-4 day breaks after every consecutive re-listening in order to see how time changes my perception of a song. Also, ranking your selected songs on different days help you achieve more well-rounded results, because there are always mood swings (after that you can averagely see which songs constantly do well and which tend to jump around in your rankings) Then, after you have your twelve, there's another ranking required, because your brain gets accustomed to the order in which the songs are played, so you mix them up to see how they rank once the listening order is not specific Final listen to the top 12 to see that you are certainly happy with your decisions and you don't need to regret your votes after 2 days of sending them. Long story short, if your song got points from me, it travelled a long and tough road through my selection process At the moment I am down to 12, but I'm having trouble shaking off 13th and 14th places as they deserve the points as well.

It's not awful, people are just not ready to accept it.

I believe it's complicated now, since some have already voted.

And it's all because of a cooking revolution

Oh trust me, I know that already It's a bit unfortunate, cause she's one of the best for me this year and it's difficult to understand the Eurovision fans on what do they base those low ranks every year. Like, for example, last year, San-Marino was obviously horrible, unlike Fusedmarc, that has the vocals, the instrumental and a performance filled with good vibes & energy. My only hope is now a very good live show, but I wouldn't really care about the results, cause they wouldn't change my opinion about this song.

How dare you underestimate our magic???

Well, that doesn't really matter, because it's still the same amount of quota's for the both of them

And it wasn't us

Well, better than expected, we nearly fixed the mess today that happened in the single mixed relay, but still it will all depend on the sprint at Oslo

Lesson nr. 1 for any Lithuanian biathlon fan. NEVER BELIEVE

I believe in the power of Tomas. He needs to give us at least 90 seconds against Estonia before the last leg.

You would be fast too if you were in fire Still, this must be quite a show for you today.

11th after second shooting is not what I expected Too bad that Diana's going to ruin it.

Okay, it's time to fuck up our chances to qualify two women to the OG

Where did you get that Estonia won't compete at OG with the men's team? As far as I know, Finland won't be sending the relay squad to the Olympics, because they didn't reach the Finnish qualifying criteria.

Well, we started with 40 points of damage done to our women's nation cup battle for 2 quotas and since we theoretically can only beat two teams in the mixed relay, we will need a very good sprint at Oslo for our women.

Well, Rasimovičiūtė was always better than Lethla and now they're nearly on the same level. I just hope that mixed relay wouldn't be over for us after the girls start, cause Kaukėnas can bring some time back during 3rd leg.

Since I know that you often prefer the alternative sound, what is your opinion about our entry?

Lithuania chose their song on Independence day!! I LOVE this song, this is one of the older performances.
