Cobi

Finally have the time to react to this contest.
 
Thanks again to all those who gave points to Portugal, i'm always happy to share a bit of my land's music to you and the fact that some of you liked a song from my hometown is even better! 
 
Also I wonder if the 15th place is some top record for Portugal? 
 
In any case, congrats to Italy for the win, although it was not one of my favorite songs at all (it was 22 on my top list) but i have a peculiar musical taste 
 
Some comments about the points i gave:
 
 
 - 12  Loved the melody and i like chinese language in songs so this as a topper to me
 - 11  I found out about Jain thanks to TISC many years ago, and i became a fan thanks to that. I stopped following her songs some time ago so when i heard her voice and learned she had this new stuff, i knew this was gonna be one of my top 3.
 - 10 Such a powerful sound!
 - 9 The type of spanish music i like. It gave me so much vibes from early 2000s spanish music, which brings many happy memories from my teenage years there.
 - 8 This traditional songs are always gonna get points from me, 100% 
 - 7 I could see this one in Eurovision
 - 6 As more as I hear this one, the better it gets. One of my favorites right now actually
  - 5 ,  - 4, Nothing to say about this ones, just sounded nice
 - 3 , Don't find it particularly special but the message of the lyrics is really great so had to have points
  - 2 Nothing to say again, just sounded nice
 - 1 I love this song, the artist, and the amazing message it gaves (just like the movie), but I usually try to never give any points to famous singers/songs, unless they are so good that it is impossible for me to do so, which is why I had reserved my "1 point" to this one.
 
 
 
I really liked this edition though! Can't wait for the next one! Thanks to everyone who shared with all of us a bit of your country's music!
 

Listo, cambiamos entonces, muchas gracias tio (for the rest: i agree for the swap)

I can do it if you want. I won't be available for the afternoon and not sure about the morning.

There will be 8 Tripartite Invitations. If any of these 8 are not given (very likely to happen), the remaining will be distributed using the Olympic Ranking.

You are right! Thank you for good news!

You are already qualified!
 
 is currently Top4 and the only teams that can overtake you are .
 
 can only overtake you with a gold medal. If that happens,  could only overtake you with a silver medal.
 
In that case:
4th  288 (World spot)
5th  284 (Pan-Am spot)
6th  281 (European spot)
 
If  doesn't win the gold medal, they could only get 276 points and  would be ahead in Top5 and spot guaranteed.

Yes

yes, you're right 
 
I completely removed the fact that now there's a Pan-Am qualifier (), so, there's no place for the repechage spot 
 
unless, as you wrote,  drops out of the Top 16 (unlikely, but mathematically still possible if they don't make the top 16 in the last OQT: at that point,  making the Top 16 and  finishing at least 14th would kill 's dream of going to Paris)
 
however,  still have a marginal chance to overtake : they need to win the last OQT and hope that  end up 8th or worse

I just did the maths and I think Gkountoura already secured the Greek spot, even if she loses in the round of 64 and Gkountoura takes the gold medal. Currently Georgiadou has 148 points instead of 154 and Gkountoura 174.

I confirm what he said to, and even the "numbers" agree: the four Italian jurors voted for 27 song!!!!
 
 
PS: unfortunately only 12 will receive the points.
 

Shocking result. First ever world medal of Spain in an Olympic event of this sport and first time competing in synchro at the Olympics!

Lyrics (Spanish):
 

2-0 . Quota for Spain!

2-0 . Quota for Spain!

2-0 . Quota for Spain!

2-0 . Quota for Spain!

is in!

I’m sorry, but no, you haven’t given yourself “a decent chance at a Paris quota” with your performance here. Awesome for Great Britain to qualify for Worlds, and a bit of a surprise to see them beat Israel, but you got demolished in your only match against a quota contending team (Hungary)
 
Frankly, I would be highly surprised if they ended up over even one of Hungary, Italy/Greece, and Canada. 

Well, this ought to be interesting...
 

Happy new year!
 

Happy New olympics year! 

Well, I think it’s time for my annual “final post of the year” thingy. I’m this one a bit earlier than usual, so hopefully no one snakes the honor from me 
 
As always, 2023 was a lively year on the forum. It felt like the year began with users trying to cancel each other over their opinions on one conflict, and ended with users trying to cancel each other over another. Still, it was nice interacting with all of you during another revolution around the Sun. Whether we were sharing retro video game footage during the TISC, or gasping in disbelief at Femke Bol’s infamous fall, the feeling of togetherness and shared excitement shone through once more. I would like to thank everyone who indulged my incessant posts in the multi-sports games section, shared results documents with me, aided my hosting of the TISC, or simply interacted with me on the forum. I’ve spoken about the personal importance of this website to me in the past, but I can’t understate what an impact it has on my life. It’s there when I want to chat with people; while I anxiously wait at the doctor/dentist/other mundane places; when I need the hottest gossip or newest info on major event, or when I simply need something to scroll through on my phone. I consider many users to be legitimate friends of mine, even if we’ve never met in person. I guess that’s the “true” Magic of Totallympics. 
 
I wanted to give a shoutout to @Sindo for keeping the forum online and open for another year. To the mod team, @vinipereira @hckošice (and anyone I’m forgetting) for trying to keep threads as civil as possible. To @Wumo for creating so many fun and competitive prediction contests (even if I’m not the most active in the that space). To @Cobi for organizing a wonderful annual edition of the TISC. To @OlympicIRL @mrv86 for their assistance in organizing the open edition of TISC. To @JoshMartini007 @Matej @Benolympique @Mateus Nagime @Laraja @Josh for the frequent and informative updates on Olympic qualification. To anyone who joined this madness this year and stuck around (I don’t have a full list unfortunately). To anyone who contributed to the forum in their own way. 
 
There’s a lot to look forward to next year; I’m sure none of you need a reminder, so I’ll simply wish all users, their families, their friends, and their fellow country people a wonderful and hopeful new year. I personally hold no ill will towards 2023, but it is exciting to flip the calendar back around and celebrate a new year. 
 
So with hope in our hearts and in eager anticipation of what lies ahead, let’s prepare to welcome the last Totallympics time zone to 2024 and 33rd modern Olympiad!

Happy Olympic Year to all my fellow Totallympians, can’t wait for Paris 2024! 
 
Hard to follow what @Olympian1010 just wrote, but here we go. 
 
What a year it’s been, from Niklas Edin’s iconic (once in a lifetime) curling shot, to Joan Verdu making history for Andorra in alpine skiiing by becoming the first from his country to stand on a podium in a winter Olympic sport, to MVDP’s fall in the men’s road race but soon after recovers to win gold at the Cycling World Championships, to some of my more personal highlights, like Canada’s surprise qualification for Paris in men’s volleyball (I still thank Bulgaria to this day), Connor Bedard’s 23 points at the Hockey World Juniors, to Vancouver Canucks’s unexpected early season success, and finally Canada’s qualification for Paris men’s basketball for the first time since 2000.  
 
Right, now time for my express my thanks to some of the users on here. @Olympian1010@Cobi  thank you for another great year of TISC (even though I didn’t participate), @hckošice @maestro@phelps@Topicmaster1010@Benolympique@Cinnamon Bun (might be missing some) for your sporting updates, @heywoodu for never failing to make me laugh (seriously), @hckošice@vinipereira for your top notch moderation and keeping this site a safe place for others, @Wumo for all the fun prediction contests, (This year I ended up winning 1 gold, and 1 bronze in 8 contests entered, pretty horrible by my standards), @Laraja for all your work on the various Olympic/Paralympic Rankings. A special thanks to @Sindo for keeping this forum up and running, your hard work doesn’t go unnoticed. And finally, thank you to everyone who has contributed to this forum this year. 
 
May your 2024 be filled with health, happiness, and a whole lot of Olympic quotas/medals
