Even more interesting: Her song competed against a different entry from that time, so "New Rules" has competed for and against Albania in TISC.

Which is interesting, considering this isn't the first time the song has been chosen for a TISC event.

Running? Cycling? Skiing? I'm assuming its a running event, but my curiosity has been activated.

As always, curious to know if any users outside the US celebrated Halloween, and what sort of activities there were I was too lazy to dress up as anything, but I did pass out candy.

...and this is how I learned Costco sells poutine in Canada Is it a food court item there, or something you buy and prepare at home?

Tell that to my voting in the last few contests This was the main reason for my withdrawal. I didn’t want to “half-ass” something everyone else puts a lot of energy into.

Yeah, there’s been a noticeable drop in energy and posts on the forum. Personally, I just needed some time to recharge after a busy summer, which is why I decided to sideline myself from this edition. I hope to participate once more in the Spring

Full program in graphic form:

I'm going to withdraw as a voting jury member. I definitely want to follow the contest, but I just need a short break from voting in the TISC. Thanks.

Dove into my results archive again... I thought it might be fun to look at a single event from the same multi-sports games over time, so here's some comparative rankings from the Pan American Games (2007-2023). Men's Shot Put (Winners) - Athletics 2019 Pan American Games: Darlan Romani - 22.07m 2015 Pan American Games: O'Dayne Richards - 21.69m 2023 Pan American Games: Darlan Romani - 21.36m 2011 Pan American Games: Dylan Armstrong - 21.30m 2007 Pan American Games: Dylan Armstrong - 20.10m Women's K1 500m (Winners) - Canoe Sprint 2023 Pan American Games: Michelle Russell - 1:51.25 2019 Pan American Games: Beatriz Briones - 1:52.552 2011 Pan American Games: Carrie Ann Johnson - 1:54.243 2015 Pan American Games: Yusmari Mengana - 2:00.656 2007 Pan American Games: Jill D'Alessio - 2:01.977 Men's Sprint Qualification (1st Ranked Riders) - Track Cycling 2023 Pan American Games: Nicolas Paul - 9.574 (75.203 km/h) 2019 Pan American Games: Nicolas Paul - 9.808 (73.409 km/h) 2011 Pan American Games: Njisane Phillip - 9.977 (72.165 km/h) 2015 Pan American Games: Hugo Barrette - 9.978 (72.158 km/h) 2007 Pan American Games: Julio Cesar Herrera - 10.772 (66.839 km/h) Women's Jump (Winners) - Water Ski 2023 Pan American Games: Regina Jaquess - 52.2 2011 Pan American Games: Regina Jaquess - 50.60 2015 Pan American Games: Regina Jaquess - 49.1 2007 Pan American Games: Regina Jaquess - 43.70 Note: The 2019 Pan American Games were scored differently, thus not included on the ranking. Regina Jaquess was the winner. I didn't chose the above events for any particular reason, just thought I'd be interesting to look at the results. If there are any other events users would like to me to do this with, just tag me below.

Worth remembering that the CAC Games are also a major qualification event for the PanAm Games, so certainly a difficult choice.

There's now a direct overlap with the Central American and Caribbean Games...

were allocated their first quotas in wushu according to the IWGA's qualifications page.

Yeah, I will be forced to withdraw if the voting deadline is not moved past this weekend.

I believe it’s also on the program of the 2025 Asian Winter Games.
