Its one sport per region of the OCA, Insidethegames is wrong with the the "five regions of CHina"2 points -
lol actually this is the first time that host nation is sabotaging the events at this scale. which is unbelievable and terrible but I think it has something to do with the fact hat Indonesia wasn't the original host. that was Vietnam but when they withdrew they couldn't find another host in such a short time and when Indonesia accepted this they probably had some conditions. OCA had a strict program until 2010 (host nation could not add even one sport to the Games) , in Guangzhou China added Dragon Boat, Dancesport and Roller sports. (I don't know if we can consider Go and Xiangqi as new since they were part of the Chess program) but that was 24 events in total. but after that OCA made a rule that number of events can't be changed by the host nation and we had nothing new for the 2014 Incheon program , but then they had to make some change for the reason I explained. by saying that OCA is no way a great organization. at best they should let Indonesia add one sport. no more. and it seems we will be back to the normal situation for 2022. Olympics sports + 6 non-Olympic sports (not picked up by the host) I'm OK if OCA itself decides to add anything but "not because of host nation's request"2 points

Also the absolutely ridiculous thing they have done in not having compound mens and womens individual , dropping team events in shooting ...... I am convinced that they have decided they must come at least 4th or 5th and the only way is to reduce medals for people like India and Iran who woudl otherwise compete for these positions2 points -

A good raw to follow up a good SummerSlam.The show needed to hit the reset button .Opening segment was better than usual was importand for Reings to defend the title and show that he is a fighing champion.Ronda and HHH had good promos .First win back for Dean in a pretty good match.Tag division is quite filler but what can you do.Great Main event match not that balor was ever gonna win but still .And the end definitely left an exciting feel before next weeks show with the Shield being back .1 point -

Another issue I have is the number of bronze medals being given. (Not limited to this Asian Games). Please add Bronze medal matches to majority of the events. (am fine with 2 bronze in combat sports)1 point -
Speaking of the program. this is the way I like it all Olympic events. plus full program in Taekwondo, Wrestling and Weightlifting, even though with Wrestling and Weightlifting having so many non-Olympic weights it will be hard to have all of them. 10 weights in wrestling is probably too much. but Taekwondo should have all 8 weights and NO poomsae. I also prefer a bigger program in shooting. and compound events in Archery. I also like the full program in Tennis, Table Tennis, Badminton and Squash. having "team event" in those sports is something traditional for the AG. they also can expend Track Cycling or Canoeing program. Sepaktakraw (only regu event, not some crazy new events like Quad or doubles) Kabaddi Wushu Bowling (only 4 events, no more) Baseball/Softball (I don't like it myself but it has enough popularity in some Asian countries) I like Sport Climbing as a core sport. with full program, not that weird combined event. I like cue sports back in the Games, with 4 or 6 events only. not a big program. about Cricket. only if top nations like India, Pakistan etc bring their best players, otherwise NO no Soft tennis. that's a stupid idea no Kurash, no Jujitsu, no Sambo, no paragliding and other Indonesian sports. no Dragon boat, NEVER ! no bodybuilding I know some countries (including Iran) are pushing for that. and no E-sports.1 point

Two unseeded athletes reached the quarterfinals in the women's singles Eudice Chong and Aldila Sutjiadi, With the fourth and fifth seeds gone too one of the Chinese duo is very likely to win the Olympic quota.1 point -

no it wasn't like she conceded the last point because of her celebration. they both scored at the same time on the last second , KOR scored one point punch while China scored two points body kick. the scoreboard showed Chinese score just a moment later. punch scores and body kick scores come from two different systems, that's why the delay. but yeah that was quite a dramatic ending. and I think a well deserved gold for China.1 point -

The final moments can be compiled into "dont celebrate too early moments". Just watched the re-run..1 point -
Afghanistan secured a bronze medal in Wushu. I wasn't sure if they can win a medal in the whole Games since their taekwondo isn't good anymore and Cricket is not in the program.. good for them.1 point

What disaster for China in artistic gymnastics1 point -
I had the same question so I read the rules. if I remember correctly in mixed team each pair consisted of one man and one woman. (each team consisted of 3 pairs iI think) while in supermixed team each pair can be consisted of two men or two women. . but in general there should be 3 men and 3 women in each team. in short. this is just a new event made by Indonesia to win one more medal.1 point

'Vagina' is being changed to 'front hole', because more gender-inclusive http://caldronpool.com/healthline-says-using-the-medical-term-vagina-is-not-gender-inclusive-language-uses-front-hole-instead/ (Ok, it's sort of a bit of an obscure website, the front hole usage is found on Healthline here) I wonder if a penis can start being called 'third leg'1 point -

unbelievable. in taekwondo quarterfinal match between Iran and China. after 2 rounds and 30 seconds into the 3rd round our coach made a protest that the Chinese guy electronic system doesn't work and he was right !!! unbelievable who knows how many points Rajabi got robbed because of the broken system. fortunately for Rajabi they fixed it and he won the match narrowly. but he was kicking for nothing for 4:30 minutes !!1 point

Sir, Your wish is my command. I found the stream from yesterday. However, it is geo-blocked on YouTube, so you will need a VPN (the stream was on Workpoint TV in Thailand). Link P.S If you try it, tell me if it works1 point -
Summer Youth Olympic Games 2018

I really enjoyed watching athletics and swimming at the 2014 edition. Many of the medal winners are competitive at the senior level now: Swimming: Romanchuk, Rylov, Chupkov, Watanabe, Zhuhao, Kenderesi, Scott, Chalmers, Duo, Quadarella, Szilagyi Athletics: Lyles, Thebe, Sibanda, Kejelcha, Lysenko, Bukowiecki, Halasz, Naser, Herman, Levchenko Tennis: Rublev, Khachanov, Ostapenko, Kasatkina (interestingly enough none of those 4 won an individual gold back then: Kasatkina lost in the 3rd round against Parazinskaite from Lithuania, Ostapenko lost against Buayam from Thailand in the second round, Khachanov lost in the quarterfinal against Yamasaki from Japan and Rublev won the bronze medal, losing against Majchrzak from Poland in the semifinal) I hope that we will see many breakout performances again this time and of course i am looking forward to see some of the "stars" like Kolesnikov, Milak and Harimoto.1 point -

FINALLY some actually Brazilian looking clothes Ok, not the competition outfit yet if I'm not mistaken, but still, this is a big improvement already on the incredibly dull white suits with some green accents. Come on people, you're an exotic nation in winter sports, have exotic suits to show for it!1 point

And 4th place in women's MTB cross-country. I was hoping for our first ever medal in women's cycling but for whatever reason she fell behind by 6 minutes at the start (probably an accident) and even though she tried hard and her lap time was 2nd only behind the winner but that wasn't enough and she finished 4th edit: she had her bicycle snapped a chain and it took 6 minutes to fix that. that was very unlucky. I saw a clip of her crying over losing a sure medal. I would replace a silver or bronze here by a gold medal in wrestling on other hand we won our first surprising medal of the Games ! in women's taolu which is our first ever medal in women's taolu. for obvious reasons medals winning by our girls have more value for me. two silvers for Iranian women so far.0 points

3rd seed Luksika Kumkhum lost to unseeded Eudice Chong in women's singles. This gives the Chinese top two seeds a larger chance at winning the Olympic quota.0 points
