I have to remind you that Myanmar (Burma) is in Southeast Asia... Yes it is a pity that country like Bangladesh or Pakistan is struggling to qualify to the Olympics. In case of Myanmar, they will be happy if you can include Sepaktakraw in the Olympics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
