I think most ESC fans would be shocked if you wouldn't be in the Top10, that should be an easy target even if the jury messes things up. 

Honestly Sweden is the worst ESC Nation for years now. 
in the recent years the ESC was adjusted by Björkman to make a copy of Melodifestival. The juries always push Sweden while in televote Sweden is actually not that good, that tells you a lot. I am 100% convinced this year was the same, top 3 by Jury and outside top 10 by televote.  I think if Sweden just sends someone standing around for 3 minutes they would still go to final. 
 
All other songs going through the final I kind of understand except Sweden and Norway. And Russia not my taste but at least something different. And I think that countries Croatia (ok I am probably not objective in that case), Romania, Australia and even Ireland deserved it more than Sweden. 

For me Ukraine can achieve Top 5. Your country deserve this.

No big surprises today and I think the hype wasn't deceiving this time,  and  were the biggest winners of this SF. For the first time in a while I can see Malta winning ESC, it can be a consensus choice like Arcade if the audience will be bored by France and the jury will hate Italy. 

Sweden was again jury fave, song is just a crap. Same for Norway, guy with big angel wings sing about fallen angels lool. For me totaly undeserved qualification for both countries.
 
I am very happy for Belgium cuz their song is amazing, and sad for Croatia. Cyprus is great, Russia and Ukraine too. 

If he repeats this performance at another competition before June 20. It's possible.

Oleksandr Prodan clear today at World Cup in Lithuania.

But since this was only CSI2*-W level, he still needs to repeat it at another competition...

Natan.....  For me Olympics can be cancelled now.

István Péni requested his own suspension at ISSF before the start of the investigation. The investigation is still ongoing, both by the Hungarian police and the Hungarian federation, and at its current stage the Hungarian federation concluded that someone deliberately sabotaged Péni and they presented the case to ISSF. ISSF has decided they won't restrict Péni's right to compete at the international events, which means that Péni can compete at the European Championships. This doesn't mean that Péni will surely compete in Tokyo, the investigation is still ongoing in Hungary and who knows what WADA and CAS will say about this mess.

Not anymore. There were few of them in the past, but nowadays it is impossible to be equally competitive in both C and K.
 
W C1 is still a terrible joke which does not belong to the Olympics. Removing a great discipline like the C2 to replace it by this nonsense was just shameful decision.
 
And yes that stupid 1 boat per NOC rule is extremely bad and yes definitely winning the European Championships and World Championships is much much much more difficult than winning Olympic gold. This sadly apply for many other sports as well.

Congrats !!

If it wasn't in Bulgaria, they could easily punish Mnatsakanian with 2pts and caution for that stupid throw after the whistle.
