State flower is in bloom . My valley is famous for our bloom, but we’ve had a huge one this year, and the there’s even green grasses growing too!
 
My photos suck because I was trying to avoid everyone, so as not get Covid

Most Successful Israeli Entry
 

 
 

and Cyprus. I’d say the Commonwealth Games are a bigger deal, but who knows. Either way, it’s douche move to choose the same dates.

whoever reaches the quota or qualifying standard made by the International Federation, or receives an additional invitation from the International Federation or reallocation will be sent to the OG by our Olympic Committee. We not return back quotas (only if the athlete himself refuses it due injury, illness, important reason or any other reason, he has to notify our committee that he will not be able to compete)
 
However it is always more or less the same amount of athletes, if you look at our stats we are always sending around 50-60 athletes, with the only exception being Sydney 2000 (thanks 3 team sports we send more than 100)
 

I kinda like this one  
 
To make it a bit better and not get all the standard big cities we already know, one could think about a limit on how many people can live in participating cities.

here is a weird idea: a contest that everyone will choose a city in his country and will try to convince the other why that city is the best and the than everyone will rank the cities in an order and the city with the most points will win i present the:TISCity edition 

One thing that I forgot to mention is that Australia and Israel are possibly the most tied entries in TISC history!
 
- both finished on 75 points
- both received points from the same number of juries (11)
- same number of 12-point scores (1)
- same number of 11-point scores (1)
- same number of 10-point scores (1)
- same number of 9-point scores (0)
- same number of 8-point scores (2)
- same number of 7-point scores (1)
- Israel places 21st by virtue of having more 6-point scores (2 to 1)
 

For the last 5 years in Indonesia, a lot of strained family relationships happened because of difference in election votes 
 
Children ostracized by their families because they think that their candidate victory is more important than their own children.
 
One family even had a machete battle because one member of the family suspected that the other relatives did not vote for his prefered candidate.
 
More extreme example? A bunch of dead family members had to be reburied away from a family graveyard because their closest relatives did not support the family member who is also the landowner (which is running for the parliament).
 
Yaaay democracy

I think it will be cool if it will be a "Music Olympics" meaning that like the Olympic games have categories Athletics-marathon, 100m etc... and swimming and football ettc.. so it will be here 
it will be given to each country opportunity to choose if there will be representatives in that categories so for example instead of Athleatics- 100m - Rock muisc 80s so it will be like a giant parade of music that spread into a lot of time i am sure it will be a lot of work but the result coud be rewarding as well .
so for anyone who reads it tell me waht you think, suggestions for improvement etc...

Closing Ceremony
 

 
 
Welcome to the Closing ceremony! We hope you all had a splendid day yesterday.
 
Having finished off the Opening ceremony with an individual project from Stjepan Hauser, it is only fair that we now check how the other half of the 2CELLOS lives. Luka Šulić launched a new album - Vivaldi: The Four Seasons - in 2019. In the process, he became the first musician ever to arrange this famous concert for cello and the orchestra.
 
Summer is coming. Although, in many ways, it could be a stormy one...
 

 
 
Playing just the Summer feels overly Northern hemisphere centric.
We therefore asked Luka to play the Winter, too...

Grand Final Moments
 

 
 
"NAFTA.
NAFTA everywhere."
"Olympian1010's Family reacts to all songs from TISC 2020." "Czechoslovak Trophy Hooray ! " "But always expect plenty from the fennec." "I fear there’s no more points for the US." "Trying to get laid is not proper social distancing buddy."
"He's a teenage kid." "Covid-19 left the chat." "Is Agger rigging the contest?" "Is there a record for most silver medals without a single gold?"
"You had more 12s in this forum than you can count."
"That moment when Spain 12 is stolen by Germany with a Spanish song."
"I'm @intoronto." "Greece wants to join NAFTA, it seems."
"Technically Iran always awards medal to Israel by letting team walk free to the next round."
"How dare you!"  

Nesustok
 

 
 
Are you ready for a shock, shock, shock?
 
Here at the Totallympics we support our own, and that of course includes our resident musician @Werloc.
Released just last weekend, Nesustok is a song written and performed by Werloc and his band, the Original Copy.
The band has six members: Audrius, Ieva, Ingrida, Akvilė, Eglė and Aušra.
 

Rijeka
 

 
 
We hope Rijeka did a fine job in hosting the Grand Final this weekend.
 
Let's lap some more atmosphere from the city that flows...
 

As a reminder, the Closing Ceremony and Medal Presentations will be held at the Trsat Castle.
 
Proceedings will start in about 20 minutes.

Wielkie dzięki Polska!!!!!!!!! whooooooohooooo   @rybak

Congratulations 
and thank you @dcro for  this thrilling and wonderful contest that made me to forget this crazy situation for a day well done
and yet again pleasure to be the first to represent Israel  perhaps next time i'll do much better though i think we did quite alright

Well, if we will have a special edition because of COVID and the postponement of the Olympics, it would be appropriate to have the Grand Final on the day of the postponed Opening Ceremony (July 24). 
 
Edit: Or maybe on the day of the Closing Ceremony (August 9).
