If any of you happen to have media guides, broadcast schedules, ticket guides, spectator guides, volunteer guides, or any other interesting little documents from any international multi-sports games: I’d love to add it to my archive

Apparently the government still has around USD 800,000 unpaid to some of the Asian Games 2018 staff

Here’s a neat little look at all the medals for the previous YOGs: https://library.olympic.org/Default/digitalCollection/DigitalCollectionAttachmentDownloadHandler.ashx?parentDocumentId=161901&documentId=354000&skipWatermark=true&skipCopyright=true

Like I said, I and rewatching the 2017 Jeux De La Francophonie. The last event on my schedule today was Freestyle Football. I’m on the second battle, and let’s just say things got weird. It started normal with France doing their little performance, and Vietnam started their circus act. They brought a fricken balancing ladder act to freestyle football. They barely touched the football at all, and instead failed at attempting to climb the ladder multiple times. France then decided, instead of taking an easy victory, to just breakout a Basketball, and do some tricks with that not football for a while. Vietnam then concluded with more weirdness, and then left the stage early.

 

It’s called “Freestyle Football.” The event seems pretty self-explanatory. Apparently it’s not.

Alright, never mind, that’s not the weirdest thing I’ve seen. That title now goes to Cameroon, who spun the footballs on a pencil, and the held those pencils by inserting them into their ass cracks.

 

I mean, what is this event!?!

 

Photographic evidence for those who need it...

And that's how I started my week. Waking up and seeing a post of two guys spinning a soccer ball out of their ass cracks, lol.
