in July/August there's no chance of a single minute of rain out there

Unless we get it with another hurriquake

Xi: “China will work with the IOC to uphold the principle of non-politicisation of sports…”

 16 - 0  is one of the larger shutouts I’ve seen in football for a while.

but it was in late August...in late July/early August it's more improbable

 

p.s. hope it's not gonna happen anymore, however

 fail to win a medal in men's volleyball for the first time since 1966 after losing to medal favorites  in a one sided battle in pre quarters

I can't find boxing draws anywhere but I know that's already done and our boxing fed already reported the first round opponents.

 

any chance to find it online ? the official website looks lazy in updating . I guess we will have it tomorrow  I also had TT and Beach volleyball draws  in our local websites almost a day before the official website

Thanks a lot  this is very interesting to find Asian Games draw in Egyptian boxing facebook page  

 

 

based on what I see, only one of our 5 boxers will face UZB/KAZ/Refs before the semifinal. I guess we can't complain about the draw. hopefully they win couple of bronze medals. I have low expectations in this sport and Olympic quotas are probably out of reach.

19 teams compete in six groups. The top two teams from each group advance to the second round. All twelve teams play in the second round. Here’s where things get absurd. Of the six winners in the second round, two teams get byes to the semifinals. 
 

if it were up to me, I’d have four of the third place teams advance to the second round for a proper Round of 16 and no byes for any of the teams.
