I don't think it's AR, looks like a long curtain of LEDs?

Opening ceremony: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IweQT-6glC8 [Khmer] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LmDWznIDupE [No commentary]

So far not much noticed because it's during the pre-event lol

A bit of political news, Hun Sen will open the ceremony instead of King Sihamoni because he insisted "in any regime parlementare, it's the prime minister who has the duty the open international sporting events". He mentioned several example like Malaysia and Japan. What a great accuracy

The organizers held a dress rehearsal for the opening ceremony 3 days ago and issued a ban of photo/video from the rehearsal. But still a guy with the aid of a drone claimed that he managed to catch a few image inside. Apparently they installed LED lights by the seats (like London 2012) and there is a curtain-like thingy hanging on the middle of the pitch

Kun Bokator will be definitely on Facebook

Yeah, the knocked off version you can say Apparently this sport being included in SEA Games is considered an achievement by the World Obstacle

Hmmm looks like another Dutch colonization isn't bad, coz I can't stand seeing a lot of government employees use TikTok like their life depend on it

Well... the other countries don't bother if it's not some popular ball sports. So far the organizers are doing a good job, the official Facebook page shares all the streams available (although it's all in Khmer) and we don't have to look for sporadic streams elsewhere

Depends on the survey results lol It's either football or badminton

Quite popular in bigger cities, among top 5 sports I should say. NBA is followed by a sizable population and they have an official store here.

Indoor hockey

Really wanted to see live but unfortunately they were not drawn in Group G/H Will be looking forward to watch one or two matches in Jakarta

To make it worse, it is unusually hot in SE Asia right now. In my place the temperature usually won't reach over 35 degrees, but for the past week it has been constantly above 36...

Only football for now https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dAGcRlPn3lA&pp=ygUOc2VhIGdhbWVzIDIwMjM%3D (there is also Cambodian chess on the SEA Games 2023 facebook too, but I think not much who really wanted to see that)

Can't wait for the ceremony, I bet it's gonna be bombastic like Myanmar 2013

Meanwhile in Indonesia we just recently stopped to naturalize people without a proper rule. After taking 3 Americans and 2 Senegalese (the two boys are not even 17 years old) with no connection to this country whatsoever, our federation finally decided to find people with Indonesian descent who are playing in other Asian countries. What makes me amazed was the fact the 3 Americans ditched their US citizenship for an extremely useless passport (no dual citizenship here) if they are still planning to play in abroad, that's some incredible persuasive skill by the Indonesian association lol

SEA Games will be starting tomorrow in Cambodia with football, cricket, and... Cambodian chess. The results site looks better than Vietnam 2021, but since not much data are there we can't be sure yet https://games.cambodia2023.com

Should've keep their mouth shut before doing it...

After the U20 World Cup fiasco, here is an update from the ANOC World Beach Games: the Indonesian NOC invited all CdM from the participating countries except the Israeli CdM for a meeting

I believe @hckošice will love this

Paris 2024 pictograms are tricky enough to be included in my favorite Japanese quiz show lol
