I could resist voting for well known authors, so yeah no surprise, my winner ends on 23rd. 😄 Anyway, congratulations to GB. Quite good place for our song, 15th, if I recall, only Tina Maze was better a few years ago.

Thank you so much. As I said, this song was published only on special edition, with only 1500 copies sold, so not even many friends here in my country hardly know the song.

@Olympian1010, you do the honor, I totally forgot, how did I vote. Good luck to all.

@hckošice, I thought we won 22 points, hmm Great job from our guys, Slovenia is back on Euro after 24 years of absence.

Ok, those who watch closely Eurovision, knows, it is never good to start competition, so yeah

Slovenia just voted, but I already know, there is very slim chance, I will represent votes in live. You know, we had this discussion a few years ago, November 11th is very special holiday in Central Europe, maybe even somewhere else. Joke aside, it is most likely, I will be heading to almost 25k walk, which is happening on Saturday in that honour, and on Sunday there is some local trail run, so it is going to be very busy. All the best to everyone.

Yes, Ljubljana is quite flat, on half marathon course there are only 70 meters of incline, on full marathon a bit more. It is very accessible and friendly run, this year there is new record, around 34 % of foreign runners will run, that is around 4000 out of close to 14.000 runners.

Well done, @Dennis, for running in Amsterdam. I will only be running 21 km in Ljubljana this Sunday, marathon distance is beyond my limits. Hats off to all runners.

SLOVENIA SIDDHARTA - Y MORE So for 20th anniversary of one of most memorable concert in our land, I decided to dedicate this years song to one of our greatest band, Siddharta. It was in September 2003 when they sold out back then still useable Stadium Bežigrad in Ljubljana. Around 30.000 people came to visit concert, on which they were promoting new album Rh-. Siddharta also went on tour in other countries, therefore they released English version of album, but two songs can only be found on special limited edition "Blood Bag" CDs, which they sold only 1500. (I am one of those lucky one). So this next song is not so familiar as many others, but to me is even after all those years still one of my favourites, but sadly it was never really part of their concerts and shows.

Slovenia will try to participate once more, if it is fine with you.

He still should easily take gold, Sotero being only true contender. Meanwhile, first dissapointment for our team, Čurin Prapotnik after astonishing breakthrough season has not managed to qualify even for 100 m semis.

Can't wait, will be commentating for our sports channel here in Slovenia. Guček in 400 hurdles and some others are medal contenders, so good trend with 6th Championship in a row winning at least a medal is quite realistic.

To be fair, we lost valuable points elsewhere. But it is really sad, they could not give poor Vid Botolin that 1 point, he still managed to finished the 5000 m race, no matter what. Really nice gesture from Croatian athlete.

What else can I say? @Bearas, @Werloc & co., congrats to your team. It could not got any closer, heart broken.

He threw well over 68m in rainy weather, so yeah, will see soon who is the boss.

This year only televoting was in use for semifinals, so no surprise Finland won against Sweden.

Wow, I am surprised, how well received is our song. This year they took internal selection, and Joker Out are one of our most recognizable bands in past years. I am happy they sing in native language.

It was very nice end to record breaking long season. Granerud, Kraft, Lanišek and Kubacki were in a class of their own.

One final push towards ending of winter season. In times when everything spins around global warming, ending on April 2nd is a stupid decision. All winter sports should come to an end till middle of March. Anyway, our best guys took clean sweep in qualification, but only two other qualified for today's competition at 15.00. This is the worst number of qualified jumpers in home soil since 2008. Hope Lanišek, Zajc and Domen Prevc will repeat their jumps today. Lanišek needs 73 points to beat Kubacki, and though Dawid had to finish season early, this would not be undeservable, because Kubacki profited a lot from season opening on plastic, which in my opinion does not fit in Winter World Cup. Anyhow, good luck to all, hope we will see good and safe long jumps and without any weather troubles, though predictions are not good (rain and wind).

I had so much work in past days to almost forgot on TAISC. To be honest, I barely wanted to look, because lately my songs always ended poorly, and after long time I sent song in our native language. Now I am in deep shock, a very big thank you to all, who recognize good singing, despite sung in Slovenian, it was close to set a new PB (I believe Tina Maze still rocks with her 10th place over 100 points). Special thanks to @dcro to rewarding my choice with 12 points. Looks like we will see you also next time. EDIT: Also not to forget, I believe this is very rare occasion (maybe second time), a song, which I dedicate it 12 points, actually won, how about that.

That is not true, your Tan Bionica band is still in my head.

Any clues, will there be possible to see Ladies Flying Training today?

Another rock bottom for Team Event. Tomorrow 6 teams will compete: SUI, AUT, NOR, ITA,GER and AND

Congrats to Ester for nice comeback. Other than that, another farse for Parallel races, win ratio was 27:5 for blue course.

Ester Ledecka finally came back. She finished easy 1st in Qualifications for PGS in Rogla.
