Speaking about Ana Cristina, can the commentators please pronounce her last name correctly? They keep botching it left and right 

I was going crazy watching the match and the commentator calling her Ana "Krishna", like the Hindu deity. It reminds me of how some gymnastics commentators used to call Flavia Saraiva as Flavia "Sarajeva" (almost like the city).

Yes, for some reason brazilians are incapable of pronouncing D, T and Rs like normal human beings  eg. we're "argenchina".

Just like argentinians are incapable of pronouncing Y like a normal human being?

Any idea why the European public voted for :ISR? Sympathy? 

No one in the right mind would put that forgettable song in first, so yes.

It'll be blamed on Brexit, but the truth is it was a god awful song with god awful staging so it got the points that it deserved.  

 

On the upside for fellow Brits, that poor performance should mean that we are saved the prospect of Olly Alexander being the main act at the BBC New Year's Eve concert. 

I like Olly but that song simply wasn't good.

Is Israel really gonna win with that boring ass song? 

Hope wins, although it seems very unlikely.

For the women’s tournament, the qualified teams are

 

For the men’s tournament, the qualified teams are 

6/8 NPCs qualifying for both tournaments is quite a lot. Unfortunately, this is the price for reducing the number of quotas from previous editions.

Approaching 100 days to go, my predictions for   

 

(These are very possible medals! I believe that about 8 - 10 of these are not confirmed, added to about three that were not expected! I would bet 05 golds and 22 in total)

That would be great but I think it's a bit on the optimistic side (especially Judo, Gymnastics and Boxing). I think Brazil will have a similar performance to London 2012.

This was the last qualifying tournament, with only reallocations and bipartite invitations remaining.

44 NPCs have qualified (+ neutral and refugee athletes).      all qualified 5 or more athletes.

Judo announced ten judokas for the Paris Games:

66kg- Willian Lima

73kg- Daniel Cargnin

81kg- Guilherme Schimidt

90kg- Rafael Macedo

100kg- Leonardo Gonçalves

+100kg- Rafael Silva

52kg- Larissa Pimenta

57kg- Rafaela Silva

78kg- Mayra Aguiar

+78kg- Beatriz Souza

Cargnin, Macedo, Rafael Silva and Aguiar are back after Tokyo. 4th Olympics for Rafael Silva and Aguiar (who won the bronze medal in each of the three previous Games). Somewhat strange that they announced Rafaela Silva already given how close Jessica Lima was to her in the rankings, but I guess that being an Olympic champion played a big part in this choice.

This is also, by a considerable margin, the shortest TISC thread since the rebirth of Totallympics 

Probably just a sign of the times, people don't interact as much as they used to. The same happened with last year's Totallympics Awards, which had much fewer comments compared to the previous edition.
