  1. Should've brought our famous MotoGP rain shaman to Hangzhou
  2. Malus VPN + watching at Miguvideo is what I am using (they're having a promotion of Standard VIP for USD 1.36/30 days), maybe the downside is that you need to know some Chinese and bear the 60s unskippable ad https://www.miguvideo.com/p/home/16ed73096e0244d1ba1034d973a020fe
  3. Glad my USD 1.5 investment is working well So far only CCTV is broadcasting something
  4. VPN will help you... MeWatch for example. Maybe some countries will be kind enough to stream it on Youtube I just subscribed to a Chinese VPN so I can follow everything from CCTV, as I decided not to give a single cent to the company that has the broadcasting rights in Indonesia
  5. @MHSN Rahmat Erwin will be competing in 73 kg. And as you might expect, the SecGen of our federation also said in the article that "our aim in IWF World Championships is just because of the Paris 2024 requirement, the real target is the Asian Games" https://sport.detik.com/sport-lain/d-6931008/lifter-ri-rahmat-erwin-bersiap-untuk-asian-games-2023
  6. Haven't been following this Championship closely but for now the coach is simply testing Rahmat in 81 kg for the WC. Maybe I'll try to contact the coach and ask him about the Asian Games entry.
  7. Fantastic result for Iberle, his breaststroke times during SEA Games training camp was better than all of his seniors so this boy is a future star. Now it’s time to see how people will react to the venue of the Championships
  8. There are a lot of kids queueing so I did not try in order not to ruin their moment But I suck in precision so getting the bags through should be a tough one
  9. @Olympian1010 Cornhole invasion at the fan zone!
  10. View from my seat (the second cheapest category lol)
  11. Lots of Latvians here, so far from the nearest shopping mall to the venue I only met 2 real Brazilians (the others Brazilian supporters are mostly Indonesians wearing Brazilian shirts )
  12. Got the ticket for vs tomorrow! Can't wait to see the local fans in Indonesia Arena, or maybe I should say the second Riga Arena
  13. BWF to allow Russian and Belarusians to compete as neutrals starting from February 2024
  14. And it was Astrup/Rasmussen who advanced to the final! Real surprise!
  15. Canada vs France was the only sold out match so far in Indonesia. Funnily enough Bertans said that he hoped at least 2,000 local people come when journalists asked him during their training session (probably thinking basketball is not that popular here)
  16. Now that Kitaguchi winning the women's javelin, all the major TV stations throwing different fun facts about her such as eating a slice of castella cake every day, the meaning of her butterfly shaped earrings, how she always say "my target is to win a medal" to any journalist asking her, and what are some of the training she received when she was preparing in
  17. Jakarta looks like mini Riga due to the amount of flags there
  18. In SEA Games race walking is often done inside the stadium so usually people 'accidentally' watch it on TV. Of course the less knowledgeable ones will find it funny and see no point why they have to walk like that (usually they call it geal geol which means "wobbling"). We have Hendro who is quite a decent athlete in South East Asian level (but sadly doesn't get much funding) so the respect for race walking is higher than what it was 10-15 years ago. He recently also accepted a challenge where he walks against a bunch of community runners, further increasing the awareness among the general public
  19. If I remembered correctly qualified in doubles (WD or XD I forgot) but declined the quota
  20. Looks like the belief that will do well in odd-numbered year WC is in danger now
  21. Tamberi scaring the shit out of the commentator
  22. The sole competitor for actually competed after all. She’s the best hurdler we have right now, since Emilia Nova (2018 Asian Games silver medalist) is still finding her form after repeated injuries
  23. Just realized they used old Myanmar flag in the stadium
