 joins the medal table with a bronze in pencak silat. However, they won that by virtue of low entries and good draw. Hopefully they can win a couple matches and get a few more medals in the coming days.

 

Also, on the topic of pencak silat, does any have a replay from yesterday. I believe it was broadcast, but I couldn’t find anything in a quick search…

Look for “EventSilat” channel on Youtube. The broadcast looks like taken from a CCTV camera but it shows the live scoring (and also Indonesian commentary since it is from Indonesian Silat Association)

I think it’s an interesting concept at least. Leave the gendered team events (and individual events) for the powerhouses, but set aside one event for the developing programs.
 

I can at least respect the logic behind this attempt to boost medal counts, compared to leaving events off the program or adding a bunch of sports/events practiced almost exclusively in the host country.

It’s hard to not be romantic about sports when moments like that happen.

Two options for streams.

 

1. This Vietnamese site has lots.

Secondly -  this Singapore site looks very good, has 3 live streams & lots of highlights you need

 

1. VPN set to Singapore 

2. Username / password registration.

 

Seemingly neither are very strictly policed.  Highlights are a bit stir-fried  ie chopped up into small bits. So you get one dish of 400m heats, one side order of shot put final, extra plate of 3000m steeplechase final etc etc.
