ExpandReally can't understand this. It's a pity we won't defend our Women's Fours Title from 2022 Games
Probably a casualty of reduced athlete numbers because they're not building an athlete's village.
Glasgow will replace the 1500 with a mile for both sexes.
Gotta say I'd prefer they leave it as is.
Melbourne could've just used the money to host a downsized Comm Games in existing venues in Melbourne. What an idiot Dan Andrews is!
Seems the Comm Games are not yet dead. Glasgow has agreed to host a downsized Comm Games in 2026 with 10 sports down from 17 in 2014.

ExpandWould solve a lot of problems, including helping reposition the Games as explicitly 'post-colonial' - i.e far from celebrating Empir, they now celebrate the END of empire.
My impression is that it's mostly white westerners that complain about Comm Games' colonial origin. The loudest even seem to be from a certain powerful country that's not even part of the Commonwealth.
Edited by dullardA Comm Games in Africa would be great.
Singapore rules out hosting the games.

Malaysia has rejected the offer to host 2026 Comm Games citing cost.
Who's the next candidate?
Australia will be sending a team of 47 athletes

The Gold Coast withdraws bid to host the 2026 Comm Games after failing to gain support from the state and federal governments (unsurprisingy).
Anyone know who the British commentator is for the athletics (field events)?

Dead heat in the men's 110 hurdles
An in form Puripol Boonson really would've won that 200m but the injury that kept him out of worlds has flared again.
ExpandAny links for live streams? The one @Griff88 sent doesn’t work anymore

Expandthe second VLC stream in the list posted a few days ago by @Griff88
This? The link doesn't work anymore.
Expandhttps://bio.link/minkhudukstreaming
Copy the CH1-6 links on “Open Network Stream” menu in VLC Media player.
RTM (with Malaysia VPN) also have some https://sukanasia2022.rtm.gov.my/utama
That’s some of the safest alternative I can offer you guys
Is there a way to watch tonight's athletics with English commentary?
China putting on a show so far in the swimming.
So looks like mewatch.sg is doing a better job of blocking VPNs than they used to.
ExpandI saw SBS will be showing some events. Is that the first time they will do so?
I'm not sure if they did in the past but I'm glad they're at least covering all the swimming finals this year. It looks like for most other sports a VPN will be needed.
ExpandOk finally the results system is up
https://info.hangzhou2022.cn/en/results/all-sports/competition-schedule.htm
Can also view the entries there but they're unfortunately not sorted by entry time.
They must be streaming the swimming over dialup.
Anyone know how this can be followed? Live results? Stream?

They've added women's 1500 freestyle and men's 800 freestyle. I guess they can get away with that because it'll be the same athletes as events already on the program but that's gonna be tough to squeeze into the schedule unless they're converting the long distance events to timed finals.
