It's great to have the Totallympics International Song Contest at the same time as the Mediterranean Games. 

It's great to have the Totallympics International Song Contest at the same time as the Mediterranean Games. 

Regarding the Spanish team, we send "A teams" in many sports (shooting, sailing, taekwondo, karate, judo, fencing, boxing, archery, weightlifting...), including the Olympic champions Alberto Fernández and Fátima Gálvez (shooting) and silver medalist Adriana Cerezo (taekwondo). However, we also send very weak and small teams in both athletics and swimming so there is no way we can reach a good position in the medal table.

¡Buenos días Hungría! Es un placer estar un año más compartiendo este día con toda la comunidad de Tottalympics. ¡Mucha suerte!

As I said during the first session, I came to this edition without any expectations. The most popular songs in Spain right now are not very interesting and I wanted to show something different of the Spanish culture. After searching for a while, I decided to go with a folk song in Galician, one of our three official regional languages (Galego, Català and Euskera/Basque) that was very close to represent us in Eurovision this year. To be honest I did not think this kind of music would be that appealing, but I am very happy with the result. 
 
I want to say thanks to all the jurors who voted for Tanxugueiras and also to everybody who took their time to listen to Terra:

I know I will not be as good host as you have been these weeks, but I can promise I will do my best to host the next edition...
 
WELCOME TO ESPAÑA 2023!
 
I can't forget to congratulate both  @Cinnamon Bun@Quasit and  @OlympicIRL for their medals. I have no idea how Tanxugueiras have finished above Ed Sheeran, but I guess that's the magic of this contest.
 
And with this victory my next goal will be getting some points from  and .  After 6 editions these are the only 2 countries that I have never managed to receive a single point from (excluding Norway and those who only participated once) .

Spain 12 and National Record 

I offer my congratulations to @Cobi on Spain's win and to @OlympicIRL, @Cinnamon Bun and @Quasit on their medals. 
 
I want to thank everyone who voted for Greece, I'm glad you liked our song.
 
Also, thank you to our teammates in Gyor Rivers who helped us earn a 4th place in the team event. We were close to a medal there, but 4th place is a great result.
 
And of course, a huge thank thank you to @Vektor who hosted a great contest throughout.
 
 
This is how I voted.
 
I can say I voted for all top three songs, but as I was the only one in our jury who voted for Spain and Ireland, my points were not enough for these songs to receive any points from Greece. 
 
Great Britain got our 12 points by earning a total of 21 points, 7 per jury member and that's despite @Makedonas didn't give any points. 9 points, 3 per jury member were needed for a 12th place finish.  
 
1st   12 pts   New Zealand  2nd   11 pts   Great Britain  3rd   10 pts   France  4th   9 pts   Czech Republic  5th   8 pts   Ireland  6th   7 pts   Poland  7th   6 pts   Germany  8th   5 pts   Spain  9th   4 pts   Sweden  10th   3 pts   Denmark  11th   2 pts   Italy  12th   1 pts   Brazil    Res1   Malta  Res2   Croatia  Res3   Romania  
 
 
 

Hey beautiful people, i am very disappointed, that i had to miss the contest, but something unexpected came up this past week. And it was another fantastic and enjoyable contest by the looks of things.   Spain with a commanding win to my biggest pleasure, as it's probably the country to which i have given the most points in all of my participations. There is always something to their songs, that resonates with my taste.   Well deserved win for @Cobi and very much looking forward to his hosting next time. 
 
Also, big applauses for @Vektor for his tireless work these past few months, from stepping up hosting, to organizing and executing the contest perfectly.   
 
Great effort from my team members @OlympicIRL @Griff88 and @Illya on getting a bronze medal.  Especially after stumbling in the first round, that was some fight through the repechage rounds! The historians will speak on this, but i think this may be the first time i get a medal in the music contests 
 
And finally, but not least, big Thank You to everyone who enjoyed and/or voted for the BG song. This time more people than usual and it's nice to be on the left side of the table for a change.  Virtual bears and cookies for all   

Serbia is the country with the most points given to Spain (47 in the last 6 editions). It is also the 2nd silver medal after Open 2019. Thanks @NikolaB!
 
It's a nice timing for Serbia because Djokovic  just won the 1st set against Alcaraz .

An amazing contest! Congrats to Spain for the victory!
 
@Vektorthanks for the organization and the beautiful descriptions of your country: this contest and the Giro's start gave me the chance to discover lots of things beyond the beautiful Budapest and Balaton Lake (famous for the open water swimming competitions).
 
The only thing that bothers me is that in Italy only two public library have Egri csillagok in Italian and you can't even buy it because it's out of print, but I have found an ebook version in English on Amazon so maybe in the future I'll buy it.
 
I was really impressed by the fact that everyone in Hungary has read it, in Italy everyone studies at school (and at least knows something about) Promessi Sposi by Alessandro Manzoni (the best Italian novel) and Commedia by Dante Alighieri (one of the most important poem in the world literature) but very few people have really read them from the beginning to the end.

Thanks to every nation voted China, and especially thanks to  @rybak @OlympicIRL @Ruslan @kungshamra71. And thanks to  @Vektor hosting a such a wonderful and well-organized event. Congrats to  @Cobi and already looking forward to going to Spain. 

Congratulations @Cobi for  
Thanks for the good show and production @Vektor

Congrats @Cobi on your victory. Team USA ranked you high, but even I had no idea you would win it all, so to me, it's magical.
 
Congrats @OlympicIRL and @Cinnamon Bun @Quasit on your medals.
 
LOL at us finishing 31st with 56 points, but honestly, I thought a song like ours would work for this contest since you love it so much, but boy did we overestimated ourselves

Spain 12 and National Record 

I think that 22 juries are more than enough.
 
Can we stop the count, please? 

I'm half Catalan and half Andalusian, but I have some family in Galicia so I got used to the language. This year all the hits in Spain were reggaeton and I wanted to send something different, so I followed the idea of @kungshamra71of sending songs in other languages and tbh I was not expecting to get more than 50 points.
 
I had doubts about sending Terra (the song that is participating) or Figa, in case you want to listen to this. It was their 1st hit outside of Galicia.
