So basically they block many Youtube accounts because they need money Fine. Add me to the list, I want this so bad lol

What concerns me in this event is the absence of flagpoles for medal ceremony... At least use that long-black-remotely pulled bar or anything close to that. Btw, I watched the women's marathon yesterday.. Just nice to see the lead kept changing, despite the "Bahraini" winning later destroys the mood a bit.

Ahh I see.. Thanks So only the finals and BMMs.. I want the prelims

Still no badminton But I'll wait I thought IOC started become stingy after London lol

Unfortunately we need a VPN.. I just want to record that 50 m backstroke heats and semifinals...

So basically yesterday Indonesia has made a new history in swimming after Siman Sudartawa reached the semifinal of 50 m backstroke. He is the first Indonesian swimmer to do that. Despite finishing last in SF (15th overall), it is still a new National Record.

Madagscar is strong in petanque.....

It is very normal in Indonesia, even social medias are able to give better coverage for events like this. I ran a FB page with my friends to share the 'forgotten' Indonesian athletes achievements, which is only able to have 10-25% likes from famous badminton pages (around 13k likes)

I hope in 2021 we can send more than 5 athletes

10th place for our climber... Bye Thanks for hosting us Poland, we're leaving......

I think adding the livestream link in the first page post is more important haha

This is what I need

Thanks But the Olympic Channel is showing nothing but "Sorry" thing since last night (or afternoon in your timezone) despite I've tried to disable adblock or change IP..

By the way, please share any sport climbing links if available... The only Indonesian athlete is going to compete

The Ministry allocate funding to the NOC, National Sport Committee (for non-Olympic sports), NPC. Then those 3 bodies allocate to each federations in need. We have also a special committee to handle multi sport events. The problem is all of them are "conflicting" and leave athletes to suffer while they keep demanding good results.... Even the sport funding must be shared for Youth development which just host not-so-important events.

For this "third tier" sport (which is not in the Olympics nor Asian Games), it is common for athletes or federation to find their own funding. to compete. Although they can request funding from the Ministry of Youth and Sports, I think the ministry is just too focused to thr SEA Games preparation. Even some of thise SEA Games athletes haven't received funding so they can't compete elsewhere to test their skills... It was the same case for Cali 2013, our powerlifters got left out because they couldn't find funding. While our Wushu athletes can go because the Federation president is very keen of this and use his own money to cover the cost.

Feel really sad to my own country, we have 3 powerlifters (1 of them is reigning World Champion) and they couldn't go to Wroclaw... Most likely funding issues.. Only one sport climber who will compete tomorrow..

Badminton: Boonsak Ponsana (2000-2016) Best Result: 4th place in Athens 2004 (MS) Robert Mateusiak (2000-2016) Best Result: Quarterfinals from 2008-2016 (XD) Both won't continue in Tokyo I believe

Yea.. now they're focusing on old ceremonies

I knew this when I watched Chinese TV which happened to broadcast about survivor of Bam earthquake about 3 weeks ago. And I also watched in Azerbaijani TV 3 days before ISG started when looking for potential streaming website What I'm interested is the difference of each event.. All I know is swinging the baseball bat looking club in certain movements. (which was the only thing shown on the 2 broadcasts)

I don't think this really help but on Youtube they said that the events will be slowly uploaded to Olympic Channel website

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..

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.

Oh a lot because almost all of those famous 'buyers' are here Indonesia could get a few more gold if those bought people didn't play
