Honestly, having a bit less effort into it would still be better than not voting. Both for the organizer as well as for people who voted on, in this case, the Lithuanian song. Then if motivation is still an issue next time, you could consider not participating, but registering a song and then not participating is always a bit of a bummer (definitely not trying to sound harsh or 'attacking' at all, just to make that clear, I know if there's anyone out here who would never 'disrespect' TISC it's certainly you ).

Snowboard cross, got himself a bronze at the Youth Olympics last season! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snowboarding_at_the_2024_Winter_Youth_Olympics_–_Men's_snowboard_cross

Cross-country skiing man, I mean, we have a Brazilian Totallympics user who is likely to get a wildcard here or there for the upcoming season and there's a whole fight for the Olympics going on, can't miss that

Next up is beating the record for best ever result in a global international competition (after Bethonico's bronze last season) That's definitely going to happen this season though!

Brazil's best ever World Cup result was a 38th place, by the way

Pinheiro!

Yeah, but why always make it so....boring? I mean, I have a suitcase upstairs that is entirely full with Brazilian race suits from different years and they are more plain and white than my very Dutch skin Brazil has got one of the most colorful options out there in terms of flags and such, make some bright yellow and green the emphasis or something. Nathan Alborghetti got it, some years ago: Same for Steve Hiestand, who designed and made his own suit and it was awesome, it made it very clear at the first sight that he competes for Brazil. Braathen's suit or the many suits we have at home here could be from like 50+ different nations if you see it from more than 5 meters away.

Especially considering he just entirely depends on Martin crashing, because in terms of pace, Bagnaia, Martin and Marquez are way, way ahead of the rest.

Kind of sad to see that even for their biggest ever superstar the Brazilian federation isn't able to provide a cool suit with 'Brazilian vibes' I guess at least it's better than their million variations on 'white with a tiny touch of green hidden away'.

I'm quite confident it won't be

Does anyone know where to find a country's best ever results? https://www.fis-ski.com/DB/general/statistics.html?statistictype=positions&sectorcode=AL One would say 'best position', but there you can only select things like '5th or worse', but I want the opposite, all top-X finishes of a country (which one would assume to find when clicking on 'best position').

Here we go with the men, the Hirscher and Braathen hype is up

Marquez going down, once again, from 2nd.

Kejelcha seems to have broken the WR Question is if it's by 3-4 seconds (graphics) or by 1 second (time at the finish arch)

Valencia half marathon is going on, a little under halfway to go and they're on WR pace with among others Yomif Kejelcha. https://www.valenciaciudaddelrunning.com/en/half/half-marathon/ Stream has frozen for some reason now, but who knows.

Ai Ogura is the new Moto2 world champion! Next up in Thailand is the MotoGP, in what's going to be a wet race

Am I correct that 16 nations have not voted yet..? I feel sorry for our host, and for the people who did vote, because that'd for sure mean lots of people's favourites would be out (and with this many, I doubt there are many, if any, full lists of 12 countries left...). Let's go guys.

Damn, what?

And there we go, takes the win by way of the rest either falling or being DQ'ed

crashes out of the women's final in a fight with . Would be such a typical Italian win if gets thrown out and wins this way

So now if you're number one, you are expected to wear some special helmet instead of the design you had made for yourself and which might have personal meaning?!

Well, it could be worse. We do have Dutch commentary but the dude is so annoying I'd much rather have only the ambient sound

Graphics seem...fine, I guess. Same as they were, just now it's with some sort of comic style and more focused on being 'flashy' instead of being useful. I guess it's more urban or something.

Are commentators in your countries using these weird nickname stuff? I hear the English-language commentator in the background (maybe the stadium speaker?) talk about the Latvian Golden Stars and 'Jens van 't Wout of the Dutch Lions' and stuff, but Dutch commentator just says "Kruzbergs of Latvia, Park of South Korea" etc Luckily

And no ISU officials, so yeah, it's definitely not going to count as a world record. Still an insane time though, what are people doing in October Edit: wtf Jilek, 12:46 and last week 6:15, the fuck
