Gold for Ganjzadeh :) even though that was almost guaranteed when Japan had no competitor in this weight (out of 6 events each country should pick 4 for each gender) I'm sure Ganjzadeh was waiting for this moment for 4 years, he got disqualified for protesting in Incheon 2014.

 

but a sure gold medal wasted by Abbasali. she was leading 1-0 with 10 seconds to go and even 1-1 was enough for her since she had "Sansho" but she gave up a 2pts kick :( she beat this Japanese girl Uekusa a month ago in Asian Championship. but their matches are always close, this time Uekusa won.

Eko Febrianto was disqualified in his Pencak Silat QF bout.

@MHSN will be shocked to hear that. :d

 

Also interesting, :MAS with gold and silver in Women's Squash, whereas :HKG take both medals in the men's competition.

They use a very weird format for volleyball. but based on my understanding here is the bracket

 

Saudi Arabia vs Chinese Taipei

Thailand vs Indonesia

Qatar vs Myanmar

---------------------

Korea vs Pakistan

Japan vs India

Iran vs China

 

winner of matches in bold will go directly to the semifinal and for example winner of KOR/PAK match will play the winner of JPN/IND match and winner will play the winner of IRN/CHN.

 

so that's a sure thing we will have a new finalist in the history of Asian Games. Iran, China, Japan and Korea they are aill in bottom half ! (even though Japan and China are here with B teams) none of those teams in top half played in AG final before. Indonesia somehow invented this crazy format to find a way into the medal round. but they lost to Saudi Arabia and Saudis as Group A winner took their place . still Indonesia was lucky in the blind draw for 2nd placed teams and got into the top half.

    • One of my favorite songs from the early 2000s that I listened to on a cassette on my walkman      
    • For me 20 medals will be good. And if more there are? Super. However, I prefer not to get my hopes up too much, so as not to be disappointed later.
    • If you're still taking suggestions, I tought the following:   Team Madison format.   17 teams of 2 "riders", randomly drawn. Teams can be named for famous "endurance" track cyclists. 4 intermediate "sprints", one after a voting block, in which the top 8 teams will score according to this formula: (10, 8, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1). The order in which team score for a sprint are determined by the total number of "medals" won by both members of the team during the block. Ranking will be sorted according to the number of gold medals, then silver, then bronze. If there's two or more teams with same number of points, the medals of best individual performer of each team will be considered to break the tie. If the tie remains, then team's total points during the block will be used to break it. If the team fails to receive a single medal during each block, it will be considered to "lose lap" and 20 points will be substracted from their score. If the team fails to score at least 1 point during each block, it will be an automatic DNF for the team. If both members of the team get a medal from a single jury, it will be considered to "gain lap" and 20 points will be added to their score. A team can only win an additional lap per voting block. After the 4 intermediate, a "final" sprint will be recorded, in which points will be doubled (20, 16, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4 & 2). Ranking for the final sprint will take into account the total medals won during the event.   What do you think?
    • I don't medal pick, per se... I assign probabilities/expected-values and total them up. So I don't have a gold medal estimate... but if you want one, divide those numbers by three and you'll be pretty close!   I imagine Norway, Italy and Netherlands and maybe Canada will probably skew a bit higher on golds, and US, Germany, and Sweden will skew a little lower... so maybe: Norway - 14 US - 11 Germany - 11 Italy - 11 Canada - 10 Austria - 8 Netherlands - 8 Japan - 7 Sweden - 6 France.- 6   I was surprised seeing Italy come in that high, I was figuring 22-23, but I guess they've been do well on the World Cups. 
    • If you were to predict top- 10 for the number of gold medals, what would it look like?     For me, as an Italian, any result for Italy: +20 medals would be OK (if that will include 6-7 gold medals). The trauma of Turin 2006 is too great
    • Doesn't really help that two of the strongest countries in that particular sport are banned from the team event for well known reasons.
    • Just another reason why it's super dumb that the NOC max in freestyle skiing isn't 40.
    • In rugby there's More Squidge Rugby (the main channel has proper videos).
