Well, now it's definitely over 
 
Thank you Rio for the wonderful memories!!! I will never forget. 
 
Hopefully, I'll go to YOG in Buenos Aires.

As OlympicIRL and some others have stated before, the TISC competitions originated for the sole purpose of covering the periods before the winter and summer season of sports. Mainly, they're here to attract the forum users during the time when there's not that many sports headlines and the news are slow. If I'm not wrong, the contests are not being held during the winter and summer so that they wouldn't draw away the focus from sports, as it is a sports forum after all, so I'm not certain if Sindo would approve the idea for a third contest.
Also, even if we were to have a TISC where all the songs had to be in their native language, you would still probably find a way to complain that Great Britain, United States, Australia have an unfair advantage against the other nations

Big thanks to hckosice  and Gianlu33 for keeping us up to date with all the results during the past ten days. 
 
Despite the worries beforehand these Games seem to have reached the Brazilian people in a way the Olympics  didn't and it was wonderful to see the way they revelled in the performances of not only their own athletes but those of the other competing nations. It is only when you watch the Paralympics that you realise just how many remarkable people there are across the world fighting to overcome huge barriers in their lives and achieving things that even many able-bodied people can only dream of.
 
From a national point of view a great games for GB with 147 medals and 64 gold medals. The best since 1988 - 183 medals and 65 golds - when the programme was 40% bigger!
 
Always sad when a multi-event games ends not least because it invariably sees the retirement of great athletes who we'll never get to see in action again. But sport goes on and new heroes emerge. Anyway can't wait for the next one!  

most of the Brazilians playing for Italy have real Italian descent (though there a couple of notable exceptions) and currently play or have played for quite a while in the past in the Italian league...
it's not our fault if many Italians in the past 200 years (or more) had to leave our Country and establish elsewhere in the Globe (the American Continent more than any other place)...
our laws are clear...those people (and their sons, nephews etc.) are still to be considered Italians, if nobody in the line of succession did give up the Italian Nationality...
so, I don't see anything wrong giving them a chance to get back to their origins...
 
for what concerns Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan, of course, the situation is a lot different...it's just the smell of oiled money...

Nah, this is nothing, we have these things on our football matches. 

Is today the Mr Burns Birthday, for your safety say: happy Birthday Mr Burns!!
 

Once again we have Italy in the contest. Welcome aboard

Serrano's gold and world record justs adds up to a historic day in Colombian sport. Our first paralympic gold ever.  

And another gold for Mexico, most probably the last one for the day.

Two golds for Slovakia in shooting today.
 
Ok, I know

Gold and world record for Amalia Perez

Yeah, because when we have Olympics in Europe/Asia I'm sure they think "well, what about Brazil? Let's re-do our entire schedule because of them" 

See the high jump T42 is amazing. The athlete learn to the world that, if you want, nothing is impossible. It is touching

Amazing silver for Morlacchi! 2 silver for Italy  

Complimenti!  ☺☺

And she improve again the WR  
 

In bocca al lupo!  ☺

I'll try to help you in the night 

I guess they don't feel like showing the same nation twice.

I also hope it's not the same as a normal puzzle, where you are always missing one piece at the end!!
