Even though a bit late, congratulations to  for another win.
 
I was so busy lately, so did not notice there are no translated lyrics for our song. So, sorry to all who were not able to understand what the song is about. It is called "Zavedno", or in English "Forever". It talks about singers rebellion, about how she lives her life as she wants. 
 
Interesting fact, @hckošiceis against hip hop songs, yet my song was from hip hop, so thank you @hckošicefor your biggest points contribution of them all.

For those, who missed farewell of our very own Peter Prevc. 💙💚
 
It was so emotional, I was there, the best part was, when singer Luka Sešek sang "Con te Partiro / Time to Say Goodbye", cover from Andrea Bocelli and Sarah Brightman. 
 
This was Peter's only wish, other parts of ceremony were a bit of surprise even to him. 😊😇
 
Hvala Peter / Thank you for all wonderful moments.

My personal votes and thoughts -

 
 - 12 (One of the clearest winner picks for me. Great vocals, visuals, arrangement. Plus, the Maori segments are beautiful. @Wanderer)
 - 11 (This was the only other song considered for my 12 points. It caught my attention quickly as well. It stood out from everything else, and the lyrics were interesting @Vektor)
 - 10 (I think we might have some overlapping taste @Vic Liu. I liked the "throwback" nature of this song, and the lyrics/video were fun.)
 - 9 (Just a fun, catchy, lively song. A nice ode to one's homeland @kungshamra71)
 - 8 (I like the risk you took with this @hckošice. It has a great message and stood out from many of the other entires.)
 - 7 (This is similar to some music I listen to more frequently. There was just something about it that keep me thinking about it @Wumo)
 - 6 (A nice dance/party track. It got points for the integration of Maltese @Glen)
 - 5 (Eley has a really good vocal. The song is a great pop track @Werloc) 
 - 4 (Retro in a way that was fun and stuck out @Henry_Leon @Gianlu33 @Pablita)
 - 3 (Definitely an artist with a lot of promise @Hipooo)
 - 2 (This originally feel outside my points, but creeped it's way back in. The vocal is nice and lyrics are interesting enough @Benolympique @Bohemia)
 - 1 (This got me to move, and it was fun, so finally some points for you @konig)
 - R1 (Catchy, but just under the line for points @mrv86)
 - R2 (This almost snuck into the points. I'll be interested to see how she does at Eurovision @NikolaB)
 - R3 (Great vocal, a nice country vibe. I just couldn't find room for it in my points @Fer GUA)
 - R4 (I couldn't find the translated lyrics, and that hurt your chances for points @justony. The song was interesting, but I couldn't undertsand the message.)

THE LOGO
 

 
The Radio is symbol of TAISC 2024

 
This year marks the centenary of the beginning of radio broadcasts in Italy (October 6th, 1924)


In Italy, which on a technological level was the homeland of radio, use of radio transmissions was permitted only for military purposes,

and a 1910 law prohibited its use by civilians.
Only in 1924, a  late compared to the rest of the world, began the commercial broadcasts.


For the logo the radio chosen is Radio Cubo ts522, this model is designed in 1962 by architects Marco Zanuso and Richard Sapper and marketed since 1964 by Brionvega, an Italian company (active from 1945 to 1994) specialized in the consumer electronics sectors.

Examples of this radio are permanently exhibited at the MOMA in New York and at the modern art museums of La Jolla, Osaka and Sao Paulo.
 


Key dates of italian radio history

In August 1924 the Italian Radio Union (URI) was born, it held the government concession to broadcast and there was only one radio station.
January 1928 - URI becomes EIAR (Italian Auditing Body). Italian radio becomes a means of mass communication
December 13th, 1931 the first radio commentary of the football match was broadcast (Italy vs Hungary)
After the end of the war in 1944, Rai (Radio Audizioni Italiane) was born and the radio entered the homes of the majority of Italians.
In 1950 the reform of the radio system established the creation of three networks
In 1951 the first edition of the Sanremo Festival was broadcast live
In 1976 did the RAI monopoly lapse thanks to a ruling by the Constitutional Court and the broadcasters already active in Italy (around 400), so-called "pirate radio" will then become "free radio"
In the 1980s, private national radio stations began to emerge, many of which are still active today

@dcro Croatia for the win.  

@heywoodu has a point there.
 
This thread should be closed, cause there is no such thing as "lock". 😄

Favourite? Of course. Lock...in a sport like climbing where a single slip can end it? No way

Yes, our girls did it. With newcomer, 17 year old Hana Sekuti along Klančar, Šegel and Fain our relay is going to Paris. 
 
I hope, because we already had one misfortune, I can't recall for which Olympics, where they misinterpreted qualification and end up missing Olympics just a couple of weeks prior.
 
EDIT: One more fact, this was first ever 4x100 women relay performance by our team, previously they only competed in 4x200 twice (with Isakovič in 2007 and 2009), and already first final. Amazing.
