Yeah that's just him being unhappy. BWF did not use their terms consistent enough and Ygor complained using his own interpretation (which is clearly wrong) Others did reject the allocation. The first they asked is as the Oceania runner-up, but they rejected. One player from Tahiti complained that their federation (as the semifinalist) were not invited by BWF. And as there are no more Oceanian teams, they go to team rankings. I believe with the strict quarantine just don't see the trip worth it and also won't bother going. It is interesting they did not mention in the press release, probably the shady BWF didn't even bother inviting them too...

withdrew from Thomas Cup, replaced them based on team rankings OTOH, Ygor Coelho tweeted that it is unfair because there are no official "team rankings" and they should be in instead of USA since they're better placed than USA in Pan Am Cup

No lol, this troop is tired from load of works in recent days and in danger of desertion for any post-midnight operation

Yep, it's just a temporary project

In an unrelated event, Israeli badminton player just defeated a Chinese player and the comments were filled with Indonesians and Malays condemning BWF for allowing Israel to play while banning Russia (also condemning why the BWF result bot showed Israeli flag but not the Chinese Taipei flag - which is actually caused by emoji limitation) The pro Russian sentiment in Indonesia (not the government, but the common folks) is unusually high to the point that it is included in Wikipedia

INDONESIA GANGGA - "Forever" Forever is one of the song of Gangga Hataqwa's first album, It's Never Easy. This song was also nominated as the New Artist of the Year in the 2021 Indonesian Music Awards. Enjoy!

Apparently Ahsan will be continuing to Swiss Open… Wow

is in

They are! MotoGP is very big here, perhaps bigger than F1. Yamaha team almost always made their players speak some Indonesian for the ads (I believe Rossi can speak Indonesian very well because of years of shooting ads lol). People on the streets often sell stickers of the riders' numbers for their own motorbikes or helmets (there is one seller just on the street across my house). Basically Indonesian people just love motorbikes, to the point that 10 year olds riding motorbike is not a rare sight

They deployed a bunch of "weather control planes" and it didn't work as intended so they decided to have this lady back after rain starts pouring I think this is the most politicized race ever lol National anthems and marching band, a president watching when the whole country is having a cooking oil shortage, some locals protesting demanding to be employed, Islamists condemning the rain shaman for promoting mysticism, etc etc.... but in the end the show went on

Capirossi was worried with the unstable weather in Mandalika, so the Indonesian organizers called a rain shaman to show her powers to the non-believers

Basically we have the same prediction except the Women's Singles
