These songs were closely considered for the Croatian selection for the 2020 Annnual. I'm guessing these could have achieved a better result, but then again, Zsa Zsa already competed twice while Antonela Doko competed as well. I didn't feel like putting in an unoriginal entry for the home edition.

But usually the last few pages are left for on-topic comments and such. You have other threads.

It was fun hearing @Werloc's story about the Original Copy. Lithuania is a small world apparently. Everybody is classmates with everybody.

The Goodbye We are back in Dubrovnik, the place where it all started just two nights ago... But now the time has come for friends to say goodbye... It's so long from Croatia... Thank you for being a part of it.

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!"

"Come to Amsterdam... in 2013." Rumor has it the Netherlands intended to bid for the first edition with this video.

Holland. The Original Cool. Be sure to join @heywoodu in Holland for the 2020 Open. Holland is the original cool, after all... Dutch!

I am so impressed that the video has racked up over 100k views in just a week. By the way, that part "Tu tik, šok, šok, šok." can easily get stuck in your head. You have been warned.

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...

Pan America... You Did It! We are so proud that the historic, first ever non-European TISC victory was achieved in Croatia. Pan America... You finally did it! This is your moment. Take it.

Together with l. Lj is one letter in Croatian (as are nj and dž). As to how exactly, that's actually kind of hard to explain on paper.

I know, what I meant was that he has Slovenian mother and Croatian father. Exactly like one of my closer friends, incidentally.

So @heywoodu is a part of the Belgian relay. All is well in the world.

Special Awards J'en Suis La Award - China (19th --> 2nd) - the nation who climbed the most places between the half way point and the end - Passionfruit Award - Uruguay (Standard Deviation: 1.89) - the nation who scored the most consistent points - MVP Award - India (43/79 = 54.4%) - the nation who scored the most of their total points during their respective team relay leg - Belgium Biathlon Award - Šilo Shepherds (5th --> 10th) - the relay who lost the most places between the second exchange and the finish line - ... Michael Rösch - Netherlands Florent Claude - Italy Tom Lahaye-Goffart - Romania Thierry Langer - Kazakhstan

First Medal! Celebrating the first TISC medal for Croatia, we have decided to revisit the most successul Croatian ESC entry to date. Maja Blagdan and "Sveta Ljubav" placed 4th at the 1996 Eurovision Song Contest in Oslo. This performance still holds the record for the highest vocal note ever performed on the ESC stage.

Interesting... If both Slovakia and the United States had managed to repeat their performance from the first half (25+34), then the Royals would have won gold by a single point. Easier said than done of course.

Let's try to ignore the fact that the word "Corona" is maybe (possibly?) written behind Zsa Zsa's head.
