Shravan Kumar 109 Posted September 19, 2023 #151 Share Posted September 19, 2023 (edited) What the Hell. The very first cricket match seemed like the Asia cup final. Indonesia scored 187 and bowled out Mongolia for 15 runs. Edited September 19, 2023 by Sindo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshMartini007 2,274 Posted September 19, 2023 #152 Share Posted September 19, 2023 men's football match is the nation's first international sporting experience in over 3 years. I wonder if they will compete outside of the Asian Games. Regardless it'll be interesting to look at the state of their team and see what Olympic quotas they may challenge for.

RTM had some FTA streaming during the Commonwealth Games that worked well for me, but it doesn’t seem like they’ve put together a similar page for the Asian Games. “Sport has the power to change the world.

Olympian1010 7,551 Posted September 19, 2023 #154 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Can someone explain the cricket tournament format? and play in a match labeled “Qualification to QF” today, but both should qualify, no? The format seems really odd with no group stage and pre-seeded teams in the knockout stage. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

The format seems really odd with no group stage and pre-seeded teams in the knockout stage. No, is also competing for a total of nine teams. So and the winner of the qualifier will compete next round and face the top four seeds. Unfortunately you can only have so many matches with one venue. The schedule for cricket is packed as you need to take into account rain delays too. That's why if cricket ever gets in the Olympics you'd need two venues or else you'll have teams automatically advancing to the knockout stage (or just a knockout tournament).

Olympian1010 7,551 Posted September 19, 2023 #156 Share Posted September 19, 2023 (edited) It’s interesting how eights (rowing) will suddenly come out of the woodwork for the Asian Games and Pan American Games. I’m sure most of that has to do with an opportunity to earn medals, but it’s interesting those entries never really translate to global events.

As I’ve said before though, I think an over saturation of events might be the reason for slim entry numbers. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

Olympian1010 7,551 Posted September 20, 2023 #159 Share Posted September 20, 2023 (edited) I’m not quite sure the account admin understood the question being asked here Also, “according to IOC” is a weird response. I know they are referring to an article on Olympics.com, but one would assume the LOC would know who has television rights in each country Edited September 20, 2023 by Olympian1010 “Sport has the power to change the world.

MHSN 3,318 Posted September 20, 2023 #160 Share Posted September 20, 2023 looks like China is going to win all Rowing gold medals. in past there was a rule limiting each country to something like 10 boats (out of 14 or 15) but they removed that this time. (I believe China is a bit vulnerable in Single Sculls events, so maybe they won't win 100% of the gold medals) Saatvik and Josh 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
