So these games are finally over!!  At the end we ended up having lots of live streams some not even completed 
@Griff88 @Olympian1010 @PHI2019 Done with the 2019 edition 
 
 
2021 -?   will top the medal tally 
 
I predict them already to win 20 golds in advance in the sport they dominate the world -Shuttlecock. 
 
This usually means badminton to most people but in Vietnam people play with shuttlecock like Sepaktakraw using any part of body except hands. It's like jianzi a chinese game. They'll win the singles, doubles, mixed, teams, quadrant ,freestyle single, double, team in mens and women's.

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. 
 
 

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. 

They guaranteed 2 bronze medals after boxing QF

No it’s actually called Cross Country Olympic in multi-sports games when Cross Country Marathon is also held. That’s probably why they have it named that way 

Most of the things in the games have been horrible. From swimming  in 25m pool to having age group events in Taekwondo. 
There was a Cross country Olympic race in Cycling, torch relay Was called Olympic Torch relay bcoz most ppl in Nepal think this is only Olympics . The website had a news report titled  Nepal won gold in Women's Olympic Marathon in  1500m . What more do you want to laugh at. 

Without getting super technical and specific, and using the 2020 Winter YOG as an example. Here we go.
 
If you look up the Lausanne2020 schedule (on Wikipedia, or the website) something should stand out quickly. The games last 14 days, and sports only go for one week. So essentially half the sports are happening in week 1 and half in week 2 (expect for one or two that span the whole schedule). The athletes stay in the village the week their sport takes place. One day they move out, and the next “wave” moves in (I believe it’s a Sunday because there’s only like 1-3 events that day or something). So essentially the village can be smaller (saving the organizers money) and sports can have more athletes. In this edition countries could have qualified up to 3 Alpine skiers for example. In the last edition only 3-5 countries got 2 skiers and everyone else got one (and some countries got none). This system is new to IOC events, but many other games already use variants of this system. It allows them to increase participation, cut costs, and have a more sustainable business model.

Half compete one week, then leave, with the second week starting with new athletes. This means less beds would need to be available in the village.

Here's how the Sepaktakraw events were set :
 
Men's Event 
 
Hoop
Team Doubles 
Team Regu
Regu
 
 
Women's event 
Hoop
Regu
 
 
Rules : Phillipines can enter all events. 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

Got it thanks 

35 Years , 6200+ medals and history was created on 3rd December 2019.
 
The good days to the tiny island finally came.    Maldives celebrated it's first ever gold in the history of games courtesy of Saaid Hassan in 100m. 

It's nice maybe little bit more difficult next time and it will be fun.  I don't know if you guys are aware of Takeshi's castle,it should be like that. Ninja warrior has no humour

That's Bhutan's First ever Olympic quota by qualifications!!

It’s fine. Some context (though if you found it where I think you did, you’ll probably already know): In the US there is a tradition where families take nice pictures, and send them out as holiday greetings to other families (Christmas Cards). My family hates said tradition, mostly because I make it impossible to take nice pictures, and pretty much refuse to wear non-athletics clothing. Last year, I jokingly suggested that we recreate famous movie scenes to show our sense of humor. My family liked the idea and so we did. This picture is my parody of The Shinning. We also did the Lion King with our cats. With my dad and sister doing other movies too.

Exactly 
 

That's Bhutan's First ever Olympic quota by qualifications!!

It’s a few more days before anything else gets underway. We can find some phone shoot live-streams of waterpolo on Facebook (Philippines Waterpolo), besides that we pretty much have to wait until the 29-30th

Won all recurve golds till now. 
 
DPR Korea were suprise finalist in Men's Team Recurve. 
 
Also we have a archer from Vietnam in compound men's final 3 hours from now. 

Cricket should have been held. Most of these SEA nations are doing well in the sport. Thailand are qualified for WC. Malaysia can qualify for U19 Women's World Cup in 2021 along with Thailand depending on how ICC does qualifications. Even Philippines finished 2nd in Men's EAP qualifier with PNG winning and qualifying for global qualifiers ,later qualifying for WC 2020 T20.

This is fun. 
Let the game be continued!! 

Yeah I'll try to get results of 2019 Rollball World Cup soon.
