Haven’t done an update on my dad since mid July, so thought I’d share.  
 
He ended up getting out of the hospital a couple days before the Olympics, and has generally been getting better the past couple of months. 
 
Unfortunately, the past couple of days he’s been really sick, and was vomiting for much of yesterday. He was taken to the hospital last night, and is expected to be there for at least a couple of days. 
 
Just sucks to see him struggling this much, hoping for as speedy of a recovery as possible 

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. 
 
 1st   12 pts   Romania  2nd   11 pts   Bulgaria  3rd   10 pts   Sweden  4th   9 pts   Mexico  5th   8 pts   Brazil  6th   7 pts   Indonesia  7th   6 pts   China  8th   5 pts   France  9th   4 pts   Denmark  10th   3 pts   Spain  11th   2 pts   Italy  12th   1 pts   Albania    Res1   Ireland  Res2   India  Res3   Hungary  
I'm looking forward to seeing you all in the next contest!

4th place after such a bad start is actually great (we often start off badly though I should be used to it by now )
Thank you to all the juries that voted for us! It means a lot this time because it's a song that is close to my heart, I'm glad you appreciated it

Yes, thank you so much @Cinnamon Bun for organizing the contest!

Congrats Czech Republic for the win and thank you for giving us this highly entertaining battle with Sweden 

Amazing, it worked again

I'm not expecting anything from Moldova for us
 

It's the armistice of WWI

12 points to Czech Republic for the drama would be fun
 

Once again the winner won't be a song that was in my top 12, seems to happen at almost every edition nowadays 

It really is the best strategy

And now for our final award, the medals standings. 
 took the gold with 5 1st places,  took the silver with 4 1st places and  and  both took the bronze with 3 1st places, 1 2nd place and 2 3rd places. 

Well I think it's time for France to complain a bit in order to magically get a few points

I was definitely not expecting Jamaibia 12 points

I'm (very) late but here were my personal votes:
 
12 points : Hungary
11 points : Denmark
10 points : Mexico
9 points : Brazil
8 points : Chile
7 points : China
6 points : USA
5 points : Netherlands
4 points : Argentina
3 points : Greece
2 points : Italy
1 point : Bulgaria
Reserves : Ukraine, Guatemala

I still can't get over the shock!
 
Many thanks to all the juries who voted for . From the number of points, it looks like you either loved or hated the song. Nothing in between. I was quite curious to see how the scoring for a stereotypical four-chord song would develop. And it looks like the mainstream has won this time. 
 
At the same time, I want to congratulate  @Belle for a great and exciting battle, and also  @Erigert for the first podium! I am already looking forward to seeing you on this ground next year.
I must not forget the great organization of   @Cinnamon Bun! Great job! I realize that during the organization there were many obstacles that you had to deal with. My admiration for you is even greater. 
 
As the winner of the competition, I am happy to take over the hosting from Great Britain (who took over the hosting from us the year before). I will try to create an even more impressive event than when held the competition two years ago.
 
... Mikolas Josef also saying a big thank you 
 
 

Sad to see that my top 3 didn’t win, but at least know that they have a fix place in my Spotify playlist now hehe (Hungary, France and Greece. The Dutch one I hear it every now and then in the radio and at new years anyway)
 
nice contest with some good music, and congrats for all the huge effort from the organiser in making this happen, it really is a fun tradition even if we’re not that many anymore

Congrats Czech Republic for the win and thank you for giving us this highly entertaining battle with Sweden 

It’s always kind of fascinating to me the extend to which MAGAs hate around half of the country.
 
Not that this current doesn’t also exist on the left, but ya know, just seems like an odd posture to take for someone who claims to be a patriot.
 
Unfortunatly I don’t have any tears to donate because I’ve never cried over politics, the only times I’ve cried as an adult were when my dad died and when I was divorcing my ex. The extend to which I don’t cry is actually a bit unhealthy and I’m working on it!
 
Anyway, Stitch is super queer and neurodivergent coded, and he’s an illegal alien living in a deep blue state, so he probably voted for Harris. He can give you some tears on my behalf.
 

How many more years will I have to give you points for it to become expected???  

Also if I didn't notice the scoring error in the Greek jury vote, Sweden would have won instead of Czechia 

Moldova 
 
 
 Transistria 12  France 11   Greece 10   Great Britain 9   United States 8   Argentina 7   Denmark 6   Portugal
5   Lithuania 4   Romania 3   Brazil 2   Serbia  1   
 
 
And that completes the results of the votes from the Moldovan National Jury. Have a great day!
