hi, Russia is in!

Hello, guys it has been a while  I will post the song during the day before the deadline

May we come back? Kazakhstan is ready 

Ridiculous

Oh, you are italian too  Btw, i know that all south american and north american country have been the destination of so many Italian migrants, I myself have some relatives in Brazil and the USA  

Only one curiosity  Manfredi has Italian origins? Btw, congrats for this historic milestone. its great to see that the sport continues to grow worldwide.

hi guys, since the beginning of this contest, so many users contacted me to join here but I didn't, this time here I am
 
but first I want to be sure about my responsibilities here. I read the rules in first page but that was too long, and I'm not a fan of Eurovision to know its format. so in short I have to pick an Iranian song in next couple of days (I already have one or two in my mind) then I have to listen to all those selected songs from all countries to pick 12 and rank them from 1st to 12th. that's it ?

Not sure if it was already revealed, but surely from october/november 2017 as usual. it´s still too early, for example Sochi 2014 which had the longest torch relay ever started in october 2013

Yes, it's true and ridiculous. Five sports have been completely denied of funding: table tennis, weightlifting, fencing, archery and badminton.
 
Here you can find out about it: http://www.uksport.gov.uk/news/2016/12/08/goal-set-for-tokyo-2020-as-investment-figures-are-announced
 
And here are the current investment figures: http://www.uksport.gov.uk/our-work/investing-in-sport/current-funding-figures
 
Note how modern pentathlon still gets almost 7 million. But sure, a sport like badminton that is quite popular in the UK and delivered the target of 1 medal in Rio gets nothing. Also a big middle finger for the men's foil team. All the years of work for nothing.

THE BIG REVEAL...
OF THE TISC 2017 LOGO!

A big thank you has to go to @vinipereira for making the stunning logo! The logo itself features the four flowers of the British Isles, representing the countries that make up our great nation. The English Rose, Welsh Daffodil, Northern Irish Clover and Scottish Thistle, all featured on the logo and in the video.
 
Here is the logo in all its glory:

Thank you! 
Haha, don't remind me of that night  I was only 10 but I will always remember this XD

A medal for Italy is deserved.   Whether it is biathlon or alpine, they have been so close, finally some luck for them too. 

Start today. It's easy, like smoking.

May be I'm the last one who has read the entire topic lol, I didn't have time to read all the comments before, I did all the calculations of the votes, one by one on my own table and I can reassure you all that the final table is correct  .
 
Let's begin with congratulations to the winner  proved once again he's the master of this contest .Well deserved gold !
The best contest for  so far  congratulations for Silver !
Congratulations to  for first Bronze  !
Unfortunately for  they gave that Bronze to their neighbours   Next time may be it'll be your time  don't give up !
 
We  hadn't collected much points as the last edition of the Annual contest, we thought that our choice would get a much better ranking than a 16th place . So we are a little bit disappointed but be sure we will work harder for it next time.  
 
I wanted to thank all the nations who voted for Kelmti Horra and it appears they all have different languagues : only  and  share the same  
11 -  You gave us our only medal  : Muito Obrigado ! 
8 -  Our flag neighbour : Teşekkürler ! 
7 -  Poland Dziękuję ! Our mediterranean neighbours   Malta Grazzi , and  Greece ευχαριστώ (Sakis is really great my 2nd Sub) ! 
5 -  Denmark Tak (I liked your song though it was noisy  ; it scared me at first  bad luck you were my Sub N°1) !   Serbia Hvala ! 
4 -  çox sağ ol !   Origado ! 
3 -  Chokran !  Merci !
2 -  Grazzie !  Thank You Sir !  Terima Kasih !
1 -  Mulțumesc !
 
also I wanted to mention the songs that I liked :
 They remind me of the Beegees  great group 
 What a voice and what a pronounciation  I think I'm gonna learn finnish soon  
 Reminded me of last year's winners  very good choice
 The Corrs, What else ? or may be one thing : Andrea I love you
 I really liked the lyrics of their song (I understand a little romanian  ) and it has a good rythym too 
 one of the best summer hits of some years ago 
 an eternal hit sung by a great Umberto ! 
 sweet and cute  
 At first I thought she was american  a lovely voice from and nice lyrics ! 
 Nice and touching song 
 Kelly  and  Bryan  would have got more points from me with other songs
 Eventhough India didn't get points from me I wanted to say that their song was really good and very touching  !  
 Was my favourite , that song reminds me of high school years  with that irresistible Santana's guitar 

Oh, this game have a finish  Congrats and good luck @amen09

Sure. Remember the winner will qualify for the Olympics.

It's not the world championships, it's the kindergarten 
They should keep their opinions outside the championships, this is really childish and disrespectful...

I discovered the Special Agent of Antartica that try to boycott the flag. He isn't very happy actually
