  1. Sorry, I forgot to check In that case, if @Wumo agrees, I would like to change Colombian song. COLOMBIA Shakira - Loca
  2. I saw it a few months after the video was published and it's very funny and completely true. Depending on the country or even the region, the same word could have very different meanings. In fact I know some real cases of funny situations. In Spain "Concha" is a shell and also a women's name, but in some American countries is a word for pussy. So imagine the face of the hotel receptionist when a friend told him her name!
  3. After the gold of our beach soccer team, we finished with 10 medals (7 golds, 1 silver, 2 bronze). It might be the first time that Spain wins the overall medal table in a multi-sports Games!
  4. I just sent Spanish votes! After the first listening I had very clear my 12 points (I really love that song since I listened for first time a few years ago), but I have had a lot of doubts about the other positions (especially 2-9), so I needed 2 more listenigns to determine the final positions.
  5. I just read about this and it is a shame that waterpolo's NTs act like clubs. With respect to Rio we have lost Guillermo Molina and Chalo Echenique (now they play with Italy), but I don't get the point of our federation "buying" a player for other country...
  6. Nobody thought that our girls would make it, but... it is real, we have QUALIFIED TO TOKYO 2020! I'm shocked and very very happy for all of them, but especially Ana Pérez, whom I met personally, and Roxana, whose story is simple awesome.
  7. One of the main projects of the new mayor of Madrid is to bid for 2032 Olympics, but after the 3 deceptions in a row, most of the people here is against that idea. Furthermore, Barcelona is studying to bid for 2030 Winter Olympics, but I'm not sure if the canfidature will be presented due to political differences. Furthermore, if Barcelona bids for 2030, it would not make sense for Madrid to apply for 2032.
  8. SPANISH ENTRY After a tough internal selection process, La Quinta Estación has been selected to represent Spain at 2019 TOISC. This group composed by Natalia Jiménez (voice), Ángel Reyero and Pablo Domínguez (guitars) started in 2000 in Madrid and published several hits until 2010, when they decided to take a break. They will participate in Denmark with one of their most iconic songs, “El sol no regresa”. The single was published in 2004 and reached the top10 of most popular songs in Spain for several weeks. EL SOL NO REGRESA Lyrics
  9. I'm very excited to confirm that Spain returns to TOISC! The national selection process has already started, and we expect to announce the Spanish representant this weekend.
  10. And Carolina wins the final against Tai!
  11. Carolina is back!!! Probably the second best new of the month for Spanish sport, just after the world title in basketball. I hope she can keep the level shown today in future games and we could see her in finals very soon.
  12. I think that 2006 final started earlier than this one (around 12:00 in Spain if I'm not mistaken), and at that time not many people watch TV.
  13. 6.168.000 (46,5 %) people watched yesterday's game in Spanish TV, becoming the basketball game with more spectators in TV in our country. The 2nd place is for 2015 Eurobasket final with 6.148.000 people (44,5 %). In 2006, the final was followed by 3.639.000 spectators (47,6 %).
  14. WORLD CHAMPIONS!!! I think nobody here in Spain expected this a few weeks ago, but it is incredible to win this title 13 years after the first time. The only thing I am sad is not having Pau Gasol in the roster, because he deserved this more than anyone else.
  15. Yes, I didn't expect so much of Juancho, but today he has played really well, being the best of the team with Ricky and Rudy. I hope he can keep this level for the next 2 matches.
  16. Spain and Argentina in semifinals! We haven't played a single brilliant game this tournament, but again it has been enough to beat Poland. Let's see if tomorrow we can certify the olympic spot!
  17. Probably, unless he gets injured or he has an awful season.
  18. Abrines left NBA in January due to a a depression and he decided to stop playing basketball this year until July, when he signed with FC Barcelona, so he was not available. Mirotic was called but he refused to come because he wanted a break after a long NBA season. Serge Ibaka (Raptors) and Chacho Rodríguez (Olimpia Milano) also declined being part of the team this year.
  19. Wow! This team is not as good as it was 10 years ago but today they have played a really good game and we are a step closer of qualifying for Tokyo (hopefully it will be enough with reaching the semifinals). Nevertheless, I still think that Serbia is the main favorite for the gold medal, even with a more difficult road to the final. Now we have to focus on Poland, because it will be a very tough match. ¡Vamos España! PS. Argentina-Serbia will be a very interesting match to see, I hope Argentina can upset the serbians! Apart of Spain, I always root for them in basketball and I will be very happy to see both teams in SFs.
  20. This World Championship is one of the three competitions that our national federation has selected as "qualification events" to decide what couple goes to Tokyo, so it is expected that the girls try to do as much as they can to beat each other, even harming the overall results of the country. It is very usual in Spanish sailing. For Rio 2016, in 49er we had a lot of problems with this internal competition in international events.

  23. After my awful first day I didn't expect to get such a good position, but I had a very good final day. It hasn't been the best week for Spanish fencers, but at least I am happy for my performance here! Congratulations to the medallists and good luck for future events!
