The same Sun.
 
After their short, albeit interesting stay in their respective Magical Towns, we welcome each of the participating to this Grand Final, not as just visitors, but as siblings who are united by the same values and spirit, waking every day to the light of the same sun.
 
Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome, international singer Alejandro Fernández, singing "El mismo sol"

Gold medal and Olympic quota for Mexico.

Not time to say goodbye.
 
We're reaching the final stage of this Opening Ceremony, but not without sharing with you two of Mexico's most recognizable songs: the nostalgic ode to our motherland "México Lindo y Querido"
 

 
 

The Final.
 
Every sports themed event reaches the last part; and we could not do it better, than by revealing the Scoreboard for tomorrow's Grand Final:

Host's Oath

that govern TISC - committing ourselves to overseeing a competition that values
respect and promotes the true spirit of sportsmanship, for the glory of

Nature's Symphony
 
As we have told you, for centuries, Mexican people have been inspired by the beautiful scenarios they live in. That sentiment has been expressed by the song "Huapango" composed by Tapatío born, José Pablo Moncayo. Inspired by the popular music of rural peoples and with the vivid nature all over Mexico, he fused both, human culture and Earth's natural beauty.
 

A Country to see
 
Located between North and Central America, Mexico is a country, where many of the World's climate and ecosystems converge. Blessed with a rich biodiversity, amazing landscapes and rich seas, our human element could do nothing to add color and life to such a diverse place.
 
 
 
 

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen!
 
Mexico is delighted to receive each one of you again. And once more, we welcome you with our arms open, new and old participants, and those faithful spectators that has made every edition of TOTALLYMPICS INTERNATIONAL SONG CONTEST, a feat of its own.
 
After many obstacles have been overcomed, we can now finally say to you.
 
¡B I E N V E N I D O S!
 

We could follow the Paralympics lead and create a class system for different levels of testosterone (ignoring that there's more than testosterone levels that dictates advantage in sports)

Just because he's online doesn't mean his connection is good. For editing of tables and images you kinda need very good internet, otherwise you will waste an entire hour editing some basic thing you could have done in 5 minutes.
 

Today at 8.30pm CET the 200000th post has been posted
 

"The Constant" from LOST is probably the greatest TV episode, that i have watched. 

After the brazilian championship, our Swimming team has been announced. Brazil is going to Lima with 35 athletes (18 men, 17 women). While the men's team is quite good (Pan Am champion Leonardo de Deus was able to qualify for Worlds but was left out here), the women's side is kinda weak. The list includes 3 of the 4 open water swimmers: Villarinho (who also qualified to the 1500m event, so his name counts for the max. 18 pool male athletes), Jungblut (another one who qualified for pool events) and Cunha. Another male marathon swimmer probably will be added to the list (for a total of 36 athletes) since there was a tie for second place in the trials (between Fernando Ponte and Allan do Carmo).
 
Gold medalists in 2015 that will be back: João de Lucca, Brandonn Almeida, Bruno Fratus, Marcelo Chierighini, Luiz Altamir Melo, Guilherme Guido, Etiene Medeiros.

Bolivia won 2 gold medals (Men's Singles and Doubles) at the Racquetball Pan American Championships. So I think the nation has a good shot at winning its first ever Pan Am Games gold.
 
Mexico got the other 2 (Women's Singles and Doubles) (results here). Does anyone know how to calculate the quotas?

Notable changes (some of which were discussed here) include: Swimming at the second week in the same days of Athletics; Judo being held in the last days, as Taekwondo goes to the first days; most Cycling events being held from the second weekend on; all Boxing finals in the first week; Women's Volleyball tournament after Men's (Peru might be fighting for gold after all).
 
I think Toronto had some problems keeping the excitement for the second week (at the second Sunday, 233 out of 364 events had already been held). I don't think this will be a problem in Lima. In fact, the second week will be VERY busy.
 

The sandwiches were so good though. You could almost taste the sin 

nope it´s only and only the fault of @Olympian1010 , this is the celestial punishment for selling meat sandwiches on Good Friday to his classmates... I warned him yesterday, but he obviously didn't listen and now we have this.
 
Thank you Olympian1010 
 
 

Official Statement
 
Contest Grand Final will be moved until next weekend due to continuous technical problems, the main one is a faulty Internet connection that does not allow me to work as fast as I can on the voting templates and the scoreboards. Will continue work through the weekend though.
