I was looking forward to it.

C'mon they were never going to broadcast the marathon. Not the best of streaming. Just football and athletics will be the properly streamed outdoor games. Rest just enjoy indoor games.

 

Even 3x3 has one single camera. But 2 great matches Vietnam women beating Phillipines 21-19 in overtime and Cambodian men with it's American team beating Thailand 21-17 with offensive fouls going unnoticed

men win bronze in 50 overs cricket. Really commendable performance from both them as well as Indonesia despite losing. Both teams decided against allowing expats in the team. So it's a fully home grown team.

  Timor Leste wins its first medal of the games, a bronze in mixed doubles soft tennis. Except Brunei all nations have medalled on Day 1.

 win their 2nd gold of the games after the triumph in Men's Shooting event of Petanque. Really enjoyed both the men's and women's shooting finals luckily it was shown live.

The Chinlone events were awfully boring it's nothing but showcasing football skills. With applied restrictions there were 3-4 entries in most events, one of them had just 2. Disgusting that Chinlone will have 10 golds for nothing.

The worst event I saw today was Kun Kru in Kun Khmer. Athletes act like they got spirits on their body no martial art as such and as expected the host won both golds. It has to be the most rubbish event at any multi sport game in the 21st century.

Yeah, very little (15 or 16 sports I believe) will be covered properly by the host broadcaster. It doesn’t seem like there’s an accessible international feed either

 

Thankfully, some of the local media are broadcasting other events, but it’s a challenge to figure out what’s happening without graphics. I’ll probably watch a few events here and there.

Athletics, Football, Swimming, Volleyball are the only big sports where most channels are focusing on. Thankfully with so many streams from Asian federations of sport and local channels 80% will be covered. Beach , outdoor sports, watersports are unlikely to be shown. Enjoy some martial arts apart from few rubbish events, proper Sepaktakraw when it starts, pentaque, table tennis, wrestling, 3x3 , weightlifting apart from the top tier sports.

I haven’t found any other than indoor hockey and ju-jitsu, so feel free to pass along any you come across.
