Men’s eights is a lot more competitive than I would have expected.  with another gold medal though.

 excellent 🥈for us  in men’s Eight. 
 

We really should think of sending a team to FCR . 

No Gold yet, but 3 🥈& 1 🥉 so far. Not a bad return.

Our sports ministry has set an ambitious target of 100 medals from these games, that will be out highest ever by some margin ( Prev. Best 70 medals). With already 5 medals ( 3 🥈 & 2 🥉) on day 1, will be interesting to see how close we reach to that target.

Copy the CH1-6 links on “Open Network Stream” menu in VLC Media player.

RTM (with Malaysia VPN) also have some https://sukanasia2022.rtm.gov.my/utama

 

That’s some of the safest alternative I can offer you guys

 

 

Fantastic, I'm not familiar with this. is this going to work the whole Games ? or it will be blocked soon and ...

 

It's really hard to watch our TV with dumbest commentators ever.

The idea is good but the presentation is still lame for me. The effect is likely generated by university student and the fireworks as well.

Chengdu Universiade is better for me, the Hangzhou guys trying to show off their technology but as you said the cauldron did not have the wow factor

They both felt very similar. You get the feeling China put together a bunch of manicured, cookie-cutter ceremonies. It lessens their impact for me.

I was only talking about the cauldron lol

 

But since you talked about this, let me elaborate a bit:

Both ceremonies might feel similar at a glance but for me Chengdu is more successful in integrating the culture with modern technology. Chengdu's ceremony screams "Look, this is Sichuan" to foreigners while Hangzhou is too philosophical (plus contained too many AR - which I never liked) despite strong start at the artistic segment about the river.
