As for the medal vote.

First, as always, a couple of links are included:

Two votes were incomplete (they had multiple medals assigned to the same player, so the second vote was not taken into consideration), but they did not an impact on the names of the 5 medals.
I used instant run-off voting for every slot, dumping the data in this tool: https://petertheone.github.io/IRV/

First gold, and captain, NO PIPPANTS NO PIPPANTIES. To the surprise of no one, however not nearly as dominant as before. Only 36.75% of the voters had this player as their very first choice.
Second gold, once again, Lia Liker. It took quite a bit for Lia Liker to emerge as the favourite for the position, but once that happened, he became unstoppable.
First silver was extremely contested. After doing the whole instant run-off thing, Lemon Woman beat the next medal by 1 (one) vote.
Second silver, Deerotic! She manages to maintain her medal in a hotly contested environment.
Third silver, and the last medal, is someone who has never been a medal before. For the first time ever, PANKO MANKO! Sorry, Da Michi, but once again you draw the short straw.

Now some observations from the vote:

Early on Nasa was in books to become a medal. It only lasted a couple of hours however before it became apparent that other opponents were stronger.
The second gold slot was actually contested for a while, Panko Manko had a serious shot at it, having a rather high amount of gold votes (first gold even!) in the first few hours. However, as it would turn out, once the euros went to sleep, so did the votes. Massive drought for her during deep NA hours. Still, the massive European support was enough to secure her a spot.
The other medal slots were a bloodbath between Deerotic, Lemon Woman, and Da Michi. It was hard to tell for the longest time who would miss out. In fact, at times Deerotic looked the most vulnerable, but the votes were too spread out to reach any sort of conclusion.
Much like Panko's powerbase is in Europe, Airi is strongly entrenched in American time zones. There was a surge of votes for her during NA hours, but she wasn't very visible outside of those.
