With Chile win over Argentina, Brazil has guaranteed the title. Chile almost secured 2nd place unless Colombia wins with a difference of 5+ goals over Brazil.

At the 1-week mark to the Grand Final of the Totallympics Annual International Song Contest 2018, the organizing committee is proud to announce this year official motto. From Algeria to Italy, and Kazakhstan to Venezuela, more than 50 nations have participated at least one time throughout the 10 editions of the contests, with countries representing Africa, Asia, Europe, Oceania and the Americas. After having as hosts nations such as Great Britain, Ireland, Lithuania, Mexico and Tunisia, TISC arrives for the first time in South America, as the celebrations will take place in Brazil next weekend. Twice a year, users from around the world reunite on Totallympics in a big celebration of the universal language of music. In the words of the late singer John Denver, "music does bring people together. It allows us to experience the same emotions. People everywhere are the same in heart and spirit. No matter what language we speak, what color we are, the form of our politics or the expression of our love and our faith, music proves: We are the same." That was one of the inspirations for the Brazil 2018 contest official motto "Music connects the world" (Música conecta o mundo, in portuguese), but mostly this is about all the forum members that make this such a special event.

BTW, this goes for all the participants in this contest: please take a look (if you didn't already) at the PROVISIONAL SCHEDULE. If you wish to post the votes yourself but can't because of the voting time, please let us know

As predicted, Brazil is sending a mostly "A" team in Athletics, maybe because we're not that good in this sport. However, this time the list has "only" 38 athletes (in 2014, our team was close to 70): Men's 100m - Vitor Hugo dos Santos 200m - Aldemir Gomes da Silva Junior 400m - Lucas da Silva Carvalho 110m hurdles - Eder Antonio Souza 110m hurdles - Eduardo dos Santos de Deus 400m hurdles - Marcio Soares Teles 400m hurdles - Hederson Estefani 3000m steeplechase - Altobeli Santos da Silva High jump - Fernando Carvalho Ferreira High jump - Talles Frederico Silva Long jump - Alexsandro Melo Long jump - Paulo Sergio Oliveira Triple jump - Almir Cunha dos Santos Triple jump - Mateus Sá Pole vault - Augusto Dutra Oliveira Discus throw - Douglas Junior dos Reis Hammer throw - Wagner Domingos Hammer throw - Allan Wolski Shot put - Darlan Romani Decathlon - Felipe Vinicius dos Santos Women's 100m - Rosangela Santos 200m - Vitoria Rosa 400m - Geisa Coutinho 10000m - Tatiele Roberta de Carvalho 100m hurdles - Fabiana Moraes High jump - Valdileia Martins Long jump - Eliane Martins Long jump - Jessica Carolina Oliveira Triple jump - Nubia Soares Pole vault - Juliana de Menis Campos Discus throw - Andressa de Morais Discus throw - Fernanda Borges Hammer throw - Mariana Grasielly Javelin throw - Laila Ferrer Javelin throw - Eloah Scramin Shot put - Geisa Arcanjo 20km Race Walk - Erica Rocha de Sena Heptathlon - Giovana Aparecida Cavaleti

List of songs from the Festival of Music is updated. Please remember to post your songs until this Saturday

AUSTRALIA "My My My!" is the lead single from the upcoming second studio album of the 22-year-old singer and songwriter Troye Sivan. According to Sivan, "'My My My!' is a song of liberation, freedom, and love. Throw all inhibition to the wind, be present in your body, love wholeheartedly, move the way you've always wanted to, and dance the way you feel". It's been some time Australia has participated in our music contests, but if they had returned this year, I think this would be a great entry. CHILE Camila Gallardo is a 21 year old singer who achieved national recognition after being the runner-up in the first season of the talent show The Voice Chile. "Abrázame" is the second single from her debut album Rosa, yet to be released. On a personal note, I think this is an incredible record that I whish would have taken part in our contest. I certainly hope for a Chile comeback in the next edition.

So Group B > Group A.

Good news guys. I finally spoke with @Ionoutz24 and he corrected his votes. You will be getting the voting templates through this week

Sure

Yes, but not only about what happened, but about what will happen. Most telenovela fans don't care about spoilers and actually want them

I think that was the first Netball match I've watched, and I enjoyed quite a bit. Great game by Jamaica!

I guess we can say this is the "opening theme" of the telenovela? And yes, these are very popular here also

I was listening to this song today (I was searching for some music from the nations that had participated at least once in the contest)

I have added to the second post of this thread the section "Follow the Totallympics Annual International Song Contest 2018", which contains important links that might be useful for some users. I know... I should have done this since the beginning of the contest, but better late than never, I guess

For those interested in participating in the Festival of Music: even if you don't know the song yet, your can already pick 1 or 2 nations and post the songs later - please notice it that I already have chosen Australia and Chile On a side note, I want to thank @OlympicIRL for writing most of the opening post, and @dcro for the always great statistics (hope I didn't get anything wrong).

In 10 editions of the Totallympics International Song Contest (Annual or Open editions), more than 50 nations across all continents have participated at least 1 time. This year, we have broken the record of most nations participating in the annual edition of the contest with 41 countries represented. Even so, we're missing some nations that have entered songs before, often a long time ago. Here, we honour them, hoping that some of these can be remembered in the Festival of Music - and maybe make a comeback to the competition in future contests.

As we continue our celebrations for the 10th edition of TISC, today we mark the continuation of a tradition that was with us right from the start. That tradition is the Festival of Music. Since the very first edition of our contest back in 2013, TISC has proudly showcased the music from nations who sadly are not with us in the contest. Originating as a "Wish You Were Here" idea, The Festival of Music was born and it flourished into what would soon become a staple part of any TISC edition. This wonderful Festival takes centre stage in the run up to our live shows and it is here where we get a chance to say hello to all the nations of the world of music. Participating members have certainly embraced this Festival and it has provided us with a window to share in the music from the wider world. And, hopefully, one day some of the nations represented at the Festival of Music can someday be a part of our very own TISC celebration as participating members. Austria and Venezuela are two such graduates from the Festival of Music and we are delighted to welcome them into the TISC family for the very first time this year! As usual, Totallympics members are free to participate in the Festival, choosing 1 or 2 (max.) nations that are not registered at the Annual contest. For each nation, the user must pick one song (preferably) released on or after January 1st, 2017, showcasing recent records that could have taken part at our contest this year. Festival of Music entries will be accepted until the next Saturday (April 21st). For the first time ever, a poll will be open to decide 3 best songs that will be honored at the festivities two weeks from now. The table in the next post will be updated with the songs posted in the coming days - as hosts, Brazil picked its nations first

Hi guys! Unfortunately I had a crazy week at work (still having, to be honest), so I have to delay the Festival of Music for some hours, more precisely to tonight at 20h00 (Brasília time), because I'm still preparing some things. As usual, the Festival will stay on for days so you guys can post songs from nations that aren't participating at the contest this year. I'm sorry for the inconvenience but I promise this won't happen at the weekend of the song contest - as I won't be working at my office on Saturday and have resquested to be free at Friday from my other job. Thank you all.

Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Colombia are moving on to the next phase.

And not only that, wins against Ecuador, which is really really bad here. What a debacle for a team which was at the last World Cup - granted, they were also bad there.

Fantastic gold for India in women's double trap!

No, and even for a nation that is hosting I don't think is THAT important (unless you're Bolivia and can really have an improvement over the last editions). But like @carivan said, the Pan Ams matter a lot, much more than the European Games, of course.

Well, there are pros and cons. As a sports fan, I would love if Brazil went ahead with our A team in most sports, but that's not realistic for this competition. So I think it's a good decision to send our best in sports where were are not that great (like Fencing, Field Hockey, Rugby, etc), and send young athletes (who can gain experience in a multi-sport competition) for the sports we have a better level.
