Even worse in Indonesia, most of them only know the top 10-15 badminton players and the European football stars. Phelps and Bolt gained popularity here during Beijing 2008, but no one really cares about London 2012 except badminton and weightlifting (and football maybe :P)... And also not until London 2012 Paralympics and Sochi 2014 most of people here know that Paralympics and Olympic Winter Games do exist. As a big fan of the Olympics, I feel I am living in the wrong place because the ratings are low thus making it hard to watch the Olympics...

Nepali looking at this be like: "We're fine :') " (But seriously, this is not professional at all)

Usually they have a separate village or accommodation for Sailing...

Thanks. So if anyone found an update, just copy this so we can keep it as the time flows >> Building 18 + IOC + Refugee Team >> Building 15 >> Building 28 >> Building 24

Let's gather information to know which nation will share a building/block in the Olympic Village.. The information is a bit rare though haha Each row of flags share the same building >> Building 18 + IOC + Refugee Team >> Building 15 >> Building 24

Updated

Umm yeah.. I'll try to make a list later in the evening (GMT+7 )

(What nakes it really shocking is the fact that India has 4x qualified athletes than Indonesia, and of course the chance of getting medals).

For Indonesia: Gold: IDR 5 billion (about € 342.000) Silver: IDR 2 billion (about € 136.000) Bronze: IDR 1 billion (about € 68.000) Not to mention the government now will give monthly allowance to retired Olympic medalists (€ 1370 for gold, €1025 for silver, € 685 for bronze). If you're badminton player, the Badminton Federation will award another IDR 1 billion for gold medalist, IDR 500 million for silver, and IDR 250 million for bronze. And then the badminton clubs, it never ends

I can see Cambodia, Afghanistan, and Vietnam

Without notifying us North Korean team has moved to the village

Nothing yet..

Now what makes me wonder is why the Indonesian officials doesn't have any photos about their own corner

Didn't know that I feel embarrassed for googling "I feel love olympic team"

I googled a bit and found that Slovenia is one building with Portugal (at the top) From the previous photo we can only see the bold part "I Feel Love"

From the Indonesian corner we can see Finland, Denmark, and Portugal

Exactly. Every other countries not listed in that article will have at least 3 athletes.

It's funny when the official announced that he is, but doesn't let him know

Unfortunately they won't do that again like London 2012 IOC is happy with the money from NBC and others which will pay millions for the rights than having every person in the world able to watch any event they like. >> (Yes, I know that IOC need it, don't tell me about that) Even worse, our state broadcaster won't broadcast any of the matches live, leaving only 2 private-owned stations with really bad reputation in broadcasting multi-sport events (I suspect they will only broadcast football and badminton). What a shame for Indonesia

I also don't see any effect in the medal chances in singles... But in Chinese forums they're beginning to suspect that the draw in doubles are designed to prevent them sweeping 5 gold medals again. Ofc they're just venting their frustration haha

It's complicated Basically since the players are divided to 13 groups in this edition, the round of 16 will contain 13 players (no best runner-up thingies here). 3 empty position are byes and considered empty groups. So the first seed will always be in Group A and the second seed in Group P. 3rd and 4th seeds will be drawn into Group E or L. And BWF allocate the bye to position B, F, and O. So no Group B, F, or O in the singles...
