Olympian1010 7,418 Posted December 6, 2019 #221 Share Posted December 6, 2019 God I hate people. There’s a whole bunch of people talking about the good YouTube channel in ESPN5s stream chat right now. Idiots! They’re going to ruin it for us all. That’s why I keep my streams private when I do stuff like that. Common sense. Don’t tell the host broadcaster about a channel broadcasting their stuff, and then recommend people to watch that channel instead of theirs. Honestly is common sense not a thing in . This post is usually negative for me, but I’m understandably (at least I hope) upset by this. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

Olympian1010 7,418 Posted December 6, 2019 #222 Share Posted December 6, 2019 First time in ages that I’ve seen a multi-sports games hold Diving and Swimming on the same day and at the same venue. Only other case that comes to mind is the 2018 CAC Games, and maybe the 2017 SEA Games. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

Griff88 1,729 Posted December 6, 2019 #223 Share Posted December 6, 2019 In Beach modern pentathlon, Indonesian athletes only get the one gold despite finishing 1-2. Why? Because of a sudden rule change which allows 1 country to get one medal. So from INA-INA-THA, it became INA-THA-PHI... I hereby proclaim the host's crimes have already surpassed KL 2017 Olympian1010 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two of the infamous incidents are the absence of the video review in sepak takraw and when a Malaysian silat athlete suddenly won the match after he got injured by his opponent.

Griff88 1,729 Posted December 6, 2019 #226 Share Posted December 6, 2019 @Olympian1010 lol looks like I have to retract my statement about a new level in host's crime. Apparently the manager either did not read the amended rules or unable to understand the English Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
