If I really wanted to stay current, I’d pull a Victoria 2026 and say, “see you later.” Thankfully, my plans are (hopefully) a bit more grounded than Australia’s 
 
Anyway…the time is right, and I’m ready to welcome y’all (virtually) to California 
 
 

TISC Returns to the USA!
 
 
It is my great pleasure to formally announce the United States as the host of TISC Open 2023! . @Olympian1010 was the sole bid this time and it means TISC will return to the USA for a second time, 5 years after they first hosted TISC Open 2018. We are all excited to see what America has in store for us and we wish our hosts the very best of luck on their organisation of what will surely be another great contest!
 



 

TISC Open 2023 Bidding Process:
 
 
We are officially open to receiving bids to host the upcoming Totallympics Open International Song Contest 2023.
TISC Open 2023 winners France, along with runners-up Sweden and 3rd-placed Netherlands have all declined the hosting rights meaning we will go to an open-bid process to find our next TISC host.
Bidding will remain open until Friday 15th, September, 23:00 GMT so anyone interested please post on thread before then.
 
If we receive multiple bids, a draw will take place to decide who the next host will be. The official draw will take place on Saturday, 16th September 15:00 GMT.
 
Thanks to @Olympian1010 for putting his hat into the ring

Even though sailing is the top Olympic sport for Spain, it doesn't get much time on TV. I remember that in 2012 Alabau won gold in windsurf and the only race live on TV was the medal race when she had already secured the gold medal. On the other hand, I think they showed some group stage races of the Elliot6m team because it was easy to follow, as well as all the eliminatory races.

right!
 
it was fun only because Echegoyen won it all 
 
as a neutral spectator, technically, it wasn't (tbh, in London most of the sailing program was heavily penalized by the awful weather conditions, with very light to almost no wind)

Valencia  and Lahore  will host the OQTs.

fusion Japanese Flamenco routine is fun, gorgeous, clean. Hopefully they get a deserved gold medal here.
 
 choreography has been on another level lately.

@Cobi in honor of this years TISC i went for a full spanish trip this past two weeks, crossing all 15 regions (excluding the islands of course)
 
This was my journey, all by train (and bus sometimes), from and back to Amsterdam 
 

 
 
The contrast between regions (landscape, house architecture, spanish accents or actually different languages) is incredible in Spain. I loved all regions but i must say i have a special place in my heart for Extremadura, Aragon, Euskadi and Galicia.
 
And a very interesting fun fact to whoever wants to visit Spain outside the typical Madrid+Barcelona trip: every single province capital of spain (except one) is directly connected by train to Madrid!
