I had a friend who went to Malaysia and Tunisia for the badminton qualifiers as an official, it was so heartbreaking the first thing he heard when he landed back in his own country is the fact that all his hard work is now gone. I thought this was another Israeli-related problem, but the Indonesian NOC actually did not file the budget to the Ministry of Finance (an official from high position in the ministry confirmed this). What the heck were they doing since 2022? I am baffled...

So… After securing re-election as Indonesian NOC president, Raja Okto decided to “f all and f everyone”

The result site went down for hours is bad, and somehow the flow of the site is weird. Even the ugly result site of SEA Games has better flow. Also choosing Brightcove player for the europeangames.tv is a bad choice, in mobile browsers you can't choose the quality so the quality changes throughout the event

The latter would be the best option, Wikipedia in some areas are already too broken imo

The thing is, those who create Wiki articles for multi sport event results are under the mercy of strict admins and some d--khead editors who know what rules to exterminate you. Arguing against the deletion of multi sport event results articles is notoriously hard, you are basically coming into a football match with 0-3 deficit. If someone wanted to, they can just argue with either WP:NOTSTATBOOK, WP:NOTABLE, or accusing for bias. When we say we are creating for everyone's benefit, they say you are treating Wikipedia as your own site and breaking the rules because only you who think it is notable. This problem is not exclusive to the Wikipedia, in all collaborative cataloging sites you will meet such people. Don't let this make you so stressed.

Ahhh Sportsfan1234 He deleted his user page so it's harder to find him. I once got into trouble with his standards and decided it's best not to engage with this person. Btw @hckošiceyou're now getting dragged to this too (See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Sportsfan_1234)

Infantino doesn’t want ex-Inter owner to lose face, especially next year is the election Also is awarded Futsal WC and for the beach WC

Interesting song choice for the podium

Any chance for the OC replay? I just realized all the TV feed replays are not available

I suspect the way they are doing the geoblock is by ticking all the countries one by one When the morning athletics action was ongoing, I did not see any live marker and even if I click the link shared by @Vektor all I get is a black screen with endless loading indicator. Fortunately everything is resolved now

Wrote an email to EGTV, then all the replays magically appear lol

Weirdly enough I can't see any live, even with a VPN connected to various European countries

Yeah idk what the organizers are planning. Originally the coach asked the federation to play with a slightly stronger (team among FIFA top 100) opponent and then some crazy idea started then boom let’s invite Argentina. Clearly our federation did not plan this match well, while people are hyping this and that. Now it’s like Argentina has a stopover flight and decided to play some football with a random team to spend the waiting time lol

Also, the local Indonesian organizer tried to get rid of the cancelled U-20 World Cup souvenirs on the eve of friendly match against the country which saved the event

Some of you might know that will play against in a friendly on Monday. The hype was so high here but after it was clear that Messi will not be playing, the situation became Messy Quite a lot of people are reselling their tickets because basically the match now has not much left to offer. My friend after he got his hand on the tickets he directly sell it to a scalper waiting at the exit lane of the ticket booth…

Yeah their plan is to focus on sports that will double as Olympic qualifiers, they projected around 15-20 sports will be held.

The latest serious news was from 2 months ago, where Split is the candidate city (https://www.sptv.hr/novosti/split-napravio-sve-sto-je-trebao-za-domacinstvo-europskih-igara-2027-2023-04-12) Back in 2022, there were claims that "some Western European countries" are interested and it will secure the future hosts until 2031 but nothing else since that.

Well.. Some of the Nowy generation who liked Nowy Sportz like Bach

Ah right, the Olympic Channel which sucked at that time. I still remembered how I sent angry emails to their address because they showed a cycling repechage instead of badminton finals as promised in their "broadcast schedule". In Channel One everyone got to choose what they wanted to watch

I wonder how the rest of the world can watch... 2015 we have it on Youtube 2019 Russian TV provided free streams 2023 no prospect of having both options available

I took a look at athletics and swimming streams, good quality broadcast. The opening ceremony is also nice but the length of speech were too long Also I felt bad for the little girl scouts who are asked to raise the huge flags in the athletics medal ceremonies, the fluttering flag hits them repeatedly...

The Azerbaijanis are all Indonesians lol

Indonesia will rely on badminton, weightlifting, and speed climbing to win gold medals in both the Asian Games and Olympics. For Asian Games, with the absence of pencak silat and no “host powers” to limit other countries from participating in some events, surely the medal prospects for Indonesia will be reduced. I predict 4-5 gold medals for Indonesia in Hangzhou. Other sports with medal chances include wushu, archery, cycling (MTB and probably track), sepak takraw, karate, dragon boat, and artistic gymnastics (relying on Rifda Irfanaluthfi)

Vietnam's main issue has always been funding, that's why their success in SEA Games doesn't really translate to higher level. Their women's runners for example is actually able to challenge for medal in Asian Games (only losing to the imported Bahrainis) but they do not often get the chance to compete internationally or have an even better facility at home. If they can find a way out from this funding problem and get the best program available to their athletes, success will come.
