There is a big big gap between Azerbaijan / Turkey and the rest, I wonder if they are this good ? or they just took this even more serious ?! or maybe because they set the event for their benefit, because for example there are some Paralympics event here, only events with possibility of gold medals for Azerbaijan !

 

today was a better day for Iran with 5 gold medals, I think Iran will most probably finish 3rd place. some results so far were a bit disappointing specially in Karate and Shooting. they won 4 gold medals in shooting but there were few more events that Iranians topped the qualifiers by a margin but were terrible in the final ! and in Karate our men's kumittee team was disastrous with only 2 medals and 1 gold !

 

looking forward for the wrestling competition, Azerbaijan didn't send A team to Euro and saved them for here. this will be an interesting battle between Iran and Azerbaijan and they are not alone, Turkey, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan are also sending some of their A wrestlers.

I have to say that the future of ISG is already dark..

 

2021 in Turkey will be same pattern and same thing. Less countries will be interested, the naturalized athletes smash the countries which are serious, competition only limited to 5-6 countries and in the end no one really cares in hosting them anymore...

Most of their best athletes are doing intensive training in Malaysia for SEA Games.

 

I always get surprised how much SEA nations care about SEA Games. :d Considering that it is a sandbox competition for the hosts basically. :p

 

:THA Thailand (and :MAS Malaysia to some extent) have continued their tradition of appearing at European equestrian competitions out of nowhere, in the run-up towards the SEA Games. :d

No surprise, because Southeast Asian nations considered the Games as a source of pride.

 

Before the "host-must-be-first" virus started and no strange sports pushed to the program, many top athletes are not competing in other bigger championships in order to win medals. It still happens but only in a few sports.. Many countries see this as an opportunity to test their young talents nowadays (except the host nation) and the Big 5 didn't want to lose face..

    • That is absolutely certain. Any somewhat reasonable politician should be good enough to win against someone like Trump, even with the unfortunate timing (for the Democrats) of having to carry the brunt of the COVID pandemic consequences and so any Republic having a bit of a head start anyway.   But yeah, dreadful performance overall from Harris, who seemed to start quite positively, but then just lowered herself to Trump's level in terms of throwing shit at each other. That was a terribly dumb choice, nobody is going to beat Trump at the insult game, as we have seen.

    • It was never a priority to stop the war but to prolong it to offload the old weapons systems and keep Russia occupied in a conflict.
