We will have the first ever non-European champion!! Either Canada or China will win! Absolutely incredible, after 13 European editions, it only took @bestmen rage-quitting the contest and one virus pandemic. But, you know, baby steps. France is going up next. Will they protect their podium? Will they decide the winner? PROVISIONAL TOP 5 1 CANADA 151 2 FRANCE 131 3 CHINA 129 4 NORWAY 116 5 DENMARK 109 5 SPAIN 109

Yap, the Sailors were 8th out of 10 at lunch.

Let's take a moment to appreciate what is India doing for their team!

Uruguay was 5th in my list before getting removed to Reserve #2. I am so mad at myself for pushing them that far since they didn't get many points otherwise.

Uruguay

Being a dressage fan has made me a sucker for a rhytm in music. That is always near the top of my priority list. And the Chinese song has just about perfect 3-beat canter rhytm. It's uncanny. Especially from 3:11 to 3:21...

CROATIA Pozdrav dragi članovi Totallympicsa. Nadam se da uživate u priredbi. Malo je teško šutjeti o svim intrigama za koje znam da će se dogoditi, ali ne bih to mijenjao ni za što. Hello fellow Totallympians. I hope you are enjoying the show. It's a bit difficult to keep quiet about all the intrigues that I know will happen, but I wouldn't have it any other way.

Oh, wait, I'm next...

But they also massively help the Omišalj Oilers.

That's called blatantly helping your team mate.

I can smell the Belgium biathlon award possibly coming your way.
