Happy for Ireland

Just remembered the elections in Brazil are on October 7th, which completely ruins my plans of going to BA on the 5th. Now I will probably arrive on the 8th

Seriously? In a sport full of athletes I can't personally stand, she was one of the few I really really liked.

I posted here, youth team with 20 swimmers.

Fabi Oliveira (Volleyball), 2-time Olympic champion, announced her retirement after the end of brazilian league last week.

Good tournament for Brazil, hopefully one day we'll win a medal in Table Tennis.

@thiago_simoes any news about which team Brazil is sending in Gymnastics?

Groups were drawn for 2018 IBSA Blind Football World Championships. The winner will qualify to the 2020 Paralympics. Even though Brazil lost the Pan American championship to Argentina (the first defeat in almost a decade I think), we got an easier group I think...

Honestly, I'm sad for Petrix Barbosa, who I always thought never got to fulfill his potential - and now we may know why. Good for him on being brave enough and speak out.

@thiago_simoes, anything to say about the HUGE scandal in brazilian Gymnastics?

That's all I have for TISC this edition, although in the very near future you might be receiving a diploma or two in your inbox Thank you all and now I will rest for some days - thank lord it's a holiday in Brazil til Tuesday!

Same here, and also gave me hope. I suppose we should thank @uk12points for such an amazing choice that had a beautiful meaning for some people - and that's a prize by itself

Maybe @heywoodu was one of the commentators?

Thank you @Werloc for such an amazing rendition of that song!

Now, is finally time to say goodbye to the Totallympics Annual International Song Contest 2018. It was a huge honour to host this contest and we thank all the people that made this such a fantastic edition! As we celebrate many artists around the world, sometimes we may forget that we have an artist among ourselves, so to close this evening, we've invited our very own @Werloc, also known as international artist Gebrasy. Saying goodbye to Brazil 2018, nothing better than a song in portuguese. The lithuanian will perform the beautiful "Amar Pelos Dois", of Salvador Sobral! After this amazing performance and the TISC flame being extinguished, we officially close the Totallympics Annual International Song Contest 2018!

A very special participation we had for this contest was from our friends from Antarctica. It was an historic event and, after years rivaling our contest, the penguins were quite welcomed for the 10th overall edition of TISC. We also saw the last edition of Winterfest, which, of course, had Antactica as winners. Sadly we have to say goodbye to the penguins. As their final performance, @Tristan and Eve and the Antarctica delegation are here for one remarkable presentation of the winning song of that contest - "Boogie Wonderland"! Goodbye, penguins!

As you all know, it was a great honour for Brazil to host this year's Annual contest, but as we are saying goodbye to this edition, we also look forward to the future. Later in this year, TISC is going for the first time to the United States! Only the third nation of the continent to host this event (after Mexico and Brazil), the United States will be the home for the 6th edition of the Totallympics Open song contest. Now, the organizing committee wishes good luck to @dezbee2008 and present a beautiful video with images of the nation - with the song "American Oxygen".

As you all may know by now, this was the first ever edition of a Totallympics contest hosted in South America, and also in the southern hemisphere! Brazil had the honour of such feat, and the official Organizing Committe hopes everyone had a great time throughout this weekend of celebrations. As last piece of brazilian music, we brought our competing song at the contest, "A Bird With no Feet". This song is from the beautiful Le Tour du Monde project, in which a brazilian couple (Lucas Mayer, the singer, and Iris Fuzaro, a producer) travels around the world recording an album on the streets, capturing the atmosphere of each place. The song was recorded in Dublin with Irish singer Dan Elliott and fellow Brazilian Carlinhos Cruz. It Mixes portuguese and english and portuguese lyrics, also bringing local musicians for its inspiring melody. We thought that, at the 10th edition of the Totallympics Song Contests, this was a nice tribute to the nation that originated all, Ireland - and also to our friend @OlympicIRL for his great dedication to the contests!

Thanks @dcro for the diplomas idea

As a new tradition this year, the organizing committe will be awarding diplomas for the top 12 individuals (nations) and top 5 teams at the team challenge. Here's a preview version of the diploma for the winners:

Now that the winners have received their medals, they are back for one final performance of their hit songs. Let's now remember the music that not only entered our playlists, but will stay forever in the prestigious TISC Wall of Champions. ITALY @Gianlu33 @Henry_Leon @Pablita @SteveParker Takagi & Ketra feat. Lorenzo Fragola and Arisa, ARTISTS NORWAY @Skijumpingmaster Sigrid, ARTIST UNITED STATES @dezbee2008 Carrie Underwood, ARTIST Ludacris, ARTIST

They have "steal" Brazil (+50 points) at the end.

Now that we know the Ranking, let's celebrate the winners of the Totallympics Annual International Song Contest 2018! It's time for the Medal Ceremony, when we'll unveil the contest's medals. It was a long journey up to this point, but these three nations deserve the recognition for picking really amazing songs that captured the ears of our music enthusiasts. Ladies and gentlemen. Welcome our gold, silver and bronze medallists, and please stand for the National Anthem of Italy!
