picks up a medal in mixed doubles badminton. 13/15 NOCs finish with at least one medal. 11/15 NOCs finish with a gold medal.

They were likely awarded the same time assuming there were no substantial time gaps. It’s common practice in professional road cycling.

This was the other finalist in our national selection. These were my personal favorites for selection.

My personal top five heading into contest week (in alphabetical order):

The Deaflympics don’t end until May 15. That’s just the current medal table. is doing very, very well though.

I swear there’s actively a conspiracy against me following these Games. The last edition fell right during my semester finals making it hard to follow. Now, this edition falls during my finals as well

Yeah, preliminary action started two days ago in football/beach handball. There is livestreaming on the official YouTube channel and other Vietnamese media outlets.

I’ve seriously enjoyed the elimination formats both times we’ve used them.

not winning the passion fruit award seems like quite the upset

Sincere congratulations to @Cobi. Excellent choice this year!

secretly the biggest ice hockey nation

It seems very fitting to achieve the national record with 12 points

returns the favor for

Or not! 0/2 for you

I thought that was just their delayed thoughts on the last contest.

Keys please

Please let the 12 points be for

I can only speak for myself personally because I don’t know how @dezbee2008 goes about it, but I keep a running playlist of possible contenders throughout the year. I’ll read music articles/reviews, listen through artist discovery playlists, and take suggestions from friends/family etc. In this case, a recent release won out. To be honest, I don’t personally prioritize winning. It would be nice, and I do try to choose a song that I both like and that I think will do well (which I very much though this one would.), but ultimately I just to try to share wonderful, interesting music. Also, on the topic of this particular entry, it wasn’t my first choice. However, it was most well liked amongst our jury and my friends and family.

Another song, that like TERRA, I would have liked to see at Eurovision

Since we’ve got some time before the next session, I’ll go ahead and drop my personal votes now that I can. - 12 (I appreciate the concept of this album even if it isn’t my favorite of hers. This song was truly beautiful though.) - 11 (This was probably the song I was pulling the hardest for to see at Eurovision. I enjoy a good modernized folk song, and this song has a wonderful message behind it. However, Midas is my favorite of theirs.) - 10 (Just a gorgeous song with some great lyrics.) - 9 (I’ll admit to vibing to this song on my way to uni on more than one occasion during the voting period. Good overall quality.) - 8 (Quite literally put a spell on me . Wonderful vocals.) - 7 (This song is incredibly radio friendly. Honestly, wouldn’t be surprised to hear it on pop station in LA. I like the lyrics too.) - 6 (Just really liked what this song offered overall.) - 5 (Pleasant entry, with great instrumentation, and nice vocals.) - 4 (I didn’t like this song as much as the last entry, but the bold message helped it out.) - 3 (I can’t believe this song hasn’t gotten a little more love. Amazing vocals with great visuals.) - 2 (Purely awarded points for the beat drop and music video ) - 1 (This one climbed up my ranking at the last opportunity. Just a solid song overall.) - Reserve 1 - Reserve 2 - Reserve 3 - Reserve 4

*Write a greeting message here* is my favorite traditional American greeting by the way

Yeah, but the Totallympics Top 39 begs to disagree
