thiago_simoes 1,359 Posted December 8, 2019 #241 Share Posted December 8, 2019 I've been following the Thai Gymnastics Federation on Facebook for a while and they were super excited for the SEA Games. Now they are over the moon with the gold medal in rhythmic gymnastics. Many Thais seem to be excited with the gold medal as well, given their reaction on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. It's so nice to see rhythmic gymnastics being able to move fans and bring joy to a nation. Not may countries outside of Europe give proper credit to rhythmic gymnastics, unfortunately.

That's pretty much true. I remember how rythmic gymnastics is highlighted during the National games by Indian media because it is one of the only sports were Jammu and Kashmir gets its bulk of medals including gold. Gymnasts from J&K usually sweep the event with 4-6 golds in National games and National Championships. thiago_simoes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All other nations can participate in 2 events each in men and women. Similiar to AG 2018, but I rather prefer Quadrant event than Hoop. Hoop is not bad but it is not true Sepaktakraw. The action you get to see in hoop is 0.001% as compared to ' real Takraw ' events. What do you say @Griff88 @Olympian1010 I'm quoting myself after I realized I was wrong with the rules . Mens event the rules are correct. Women's event it's not even 2 events, all teams except host can participate in just 1 event. This meant women came to the games and went Without playing Sepaktakraw . Interestingly the 2 former nations weren't even shown live in men's doubles. When SEA nations originate the game such stupid rule is not expected. Or else invent more events so that host can win gold like artistic Sepaktakraw, rythmic Sepaktakraw, group ,individual etcSo that hosts can win gold and we can see real Sepaktakraw from all teams.

If Alpine Skiing was on the program, yes. Can’t really think of any other chances. In the back of my mind, I know there’s something I’m forgetting, but oh well.
