Once again, I was beaten by organizers, have fun for the rest of the day.

It is only fair to post lyrics for our representative Nina Pušlar. I tried my best to translate it in English so you can understand the meaning of song Nina is singing in our native language. As you already know, title is "To mi je všeč", in English "That's what I like". There you have it, as the title says, I hope you will like it. Slovenian lyrics English lyrics

Hello, I will be also part of Slovenian delegation, as always. I hope you will like song mihamiha chose for our country.

Sorry not being so often on forum. I watched every single match from this championships. The only thing missing was a 9 - dart finish, other than that it was very exciting, especially between MVG and RVB, final also was not bad, but Gary was too weak on doubles in the middle of the match. Anyway, I can't wait for next one in December.

Slovenia will compete in Women's relay first time after Ruhpolding last season. They will not wait on whether Mlakar or Klemenčič could make standard on Saturday in Ridnaun. Instead Andreja Mali will took farewell from competitive biathlon and once more help girls to better result. So, our team will compete with Gregorin, Eržen, Poje and Mali.

Our team is really crazy, but after all, home race is not something you should throw away that easily.

Thank you so much on such quick and accurate answer. Our media said Mlakar and Klemenčič will compete in Ridnaun on Saturday to gain those points, so I am little confused.

Man, you really have quite a discussion here. Tell me, heywoodu, what are chances for Tina Mlakar and / or Polona Klemenčič achieving standard to compete in Pokljuka for women relay. We need one of them to qualify (besides Gregorin, Eržen and Poje)?

Slovenia Team Size prediction for Winter Olympic Games 2018 PyeongChang Ski Sports Alpine Skiing (10-12) - There were eight skiers in Sochi, but prospects are quite good. Among men there are Kranjec, Kosi, Kline most likely to compete in Korea. Women have even more chances with Drev, Bucik, Ferk, Lavtar, Štuhec,... So, if standards are not set too high, we could see at least 10 skiers. Cross Country Skiing (6) - All hopes are on ladies, especially in sprint. (Višnar, Fabjan, Čebašek, Einfalt, Razinger, Lampič) Men compete very rarely in World Cup. Ski Jumping (9) - No doubt about sending full quota in sport, where we are top 3 nation in the world. Nordic Combined (1) - Gašper Berlot ended his career, so now it all depends on Marjan Jelenko. Young guns are still well behind, especially in XCO part. Too bad, it was very close having full team in Sochi. Freestyle Skiing (2) - Filip Flisar and Blaž Ogorelc should qualify in ski cross, I am not sure what is happening in other disciplines, where mostly our skiers in different series, not in World cup. Snowboarding (8) - I expect full alpine men's team and Gloria Kotnik among ladies. Tim Kevin Ravnjak and Cilka Sadar should most likely compete in freestyle section, there are still some youngsters very talented (Kralj, Štante, Pribošič,...) Biathlon (6-7) - Men should qualify with complete team. As for women, Andreja Mali is not competing anymore, Teja Gregorin is quite old, but still in the mix, Anja Eržen should try to fill our mixed relay team. Chances for having women relay are really small, because we don't even have enough girls with permission to compete in World cup. Skating Sports Speed Skating (0) - Not gonna happen for many years. We don't even have any indoor rink for speed skating. Short Track Speed Skating (0) - We had a guy competing in ECH, but he was quite behind. It is most likely to try get a quota maybe in 2022 or more 2026. Figure Skating (1) - Daša Grm has most chances to qualify. I am not sure, what is current position in men's category. Sleigh Sports Luge (1) - There is so little money in this sport. Our national championships take place in Innsbruck, cause we do not have any artificial track closer. I still believe we will achieve international standard at least with Danej Navrboc or Žiga Biruš. But you have to know something, Slovenia had two international quota for Sochi (Navrboc, Sirše), which dissapeared because of our hockey team. (not our players, but because of federation members). Skeleton (1) - As far as I know, Anže Šetina is not competing anymore, but we have Sara Lavrenčič, who occasionally show up on ladies tour. Bobsleigh (0) - There were some fund raises 10 years ago, but now having a bobsleigh team would be completely insane. Team Sports Curling (0) - Pyongchang is too close for our federation, existing only few years. Our men competed second year in a row at ECH in B group, so they could maybe with good development be Olympics contenders for 2026, if not sooner. Ice Hockey (25) - No doubt here, Slovenia will have men team at the Olympics for second time in succession. Women, however, already failed to qualify. Total Optimistic Prediction - (80) If there were a lot of alpine skiers (close to 15), full biathlon team and also a team in nordic combined. Total Pessimistic Prediction - (50) With our hockey team already in, highly unlikely. But supposing to cross out all sleigh and skating sports and to compete in our basic sports (Alpine sking, CC Skiing, Biathlon) only with individuals. Total Realistic Prediction - (65) That would mean one athlete less than in Sochi, where this team was most numerous.

I am always voting for my most favourable songs, no matter from which country comes. As I said, your song was pretty close and that is all.

Difference between 1st and 2nd was only 7 points. Most places from this kind of voting benefits Argentina, jumping from 19th all the way up to 14th. Biggest fall comes from Tunisia (from 16th down to 20th).

Hi, everybody! Finally I took time to watch complete contest. Firstly would like to congratulate Ireland on another victory. Well done, Dan. Next I would like to apologize for casting my votes in a hurry. I was commentating women's volleyball match (Dinamo Krasnodar-Vizura Beograd) on TV, that is why I tried to hurry with my voting procedure during break between first and second set. Another wonderful contest is behind us, thank you so much, Werloc for excellent organization, thanks heywoodu and dcro for all stats, and of course, a big thank you to all who voted for our song: 12 - Who else could award Slovania with douze points than our very own Slavic friends. 8 - That was quite a surprise for me, thank you very much. 7 - Thank you, bestmen, your song was close to get points from me, but as you know, you already got points from Slovenia in previous occasions. 3 - 1 - My expectactions were to be in top 20, but nevertheless, 29th place means we beat a couple of nations, and what is most important, we ended in very nice company. I will publish special table very shortly with results, made in Eurovision style (with no 11 or 9 points, only top 10 nations get points). So, once again, congratulations to host and to winner, and we will see you all in UK next year !

Sorry, currently I am in a hurry, so I will see rest of competition tomorrow or on Monday. Have fun, everybody.

SLOVENIA Dobrodošli, moji prijatelji, pozdravljen Werloc, hvala za vse kar si storil za izvedbo te edicije uspešne zgodbe, imenovane TISC. Tudi tokrat je imela enočlanska slovenska žirija veliko dela pri izbiri najboljših pesmi, a naš izbor je sledeč: Welcome, my friends, hello Werloc, thank you for all you did in preparing this edition of succesful story, called TISC. Once again one headed slovenian jury had a lot of work determining best songs, here is how we choose: IRELAND 10 INDONESIA 9 MEXICO 8 POLAND 7 GREECE 6 MALTA 5 ITALY 4 FRANCE 3 UNITED STATES 2 CANADA 1

OK, I am ready.

No problem Werloc, work comes first, especially like this.

For many of you who voted for Slovenian song (), your wait is over. My votes have been posted to Werloc, once again I would like to thank you all for patience. I am proud to be competing for my country every year, this time it is first time I knew one third of song already before I voted, which is really strange. Do not worry, I won't tell you how my votes were distributed, just a little hint, which does not reveal anything, my best song does not belong to group of songs already known to my ear in previous years. Music is always first in my opinion, so I chose song, which stuck in my ear the most. So, once again, thank you all, have a lovely week, and since I voted last, let the show now begin.

I would like to ask my dear fellow members to give me time for voting, cause I had a lot of work lately. I have already listen to songs, I just need to arrange them. So, if it is OK with most of you, I would cast my votes till tomorrow noon, so before official start of the contest. Thank you for understanding.

Slovenia Laibach - Slovania LYRICS:Hej Slovani, naša rečSlovanska živo klijeThese words are for those who died,These words are for those left behind.These words are for you, Poland,And these ones for my homeland.Živi, živi, duh slovanski,For the spirit of our fathers,For the glory of our sons,Bodi živ na vekeFor the power of the Spectre,For the Holly AllianceLet stones crack,Let the earth quakeAnd let the tempest roar!Let stones crack,Let the earth quake,Let freedom rise!Hej Slovani, naša rečSlovanska živo klije,These words are for lovers,These words are for their heart beats.Dokler naše verno srceZa naš narod bijeThese words are for warriorsAnd these ones for all communists.Živi, živi, duh slovanski,Out of the feudal darkness,Away from the Nameless OneBodi živ na vekeWe stand alone in history,Facing East in sacrifice

Surely Slovenia will be in, I totally forgot it is already that time of the year.
