A small update: In the end most of the big social media registered... Notable non-registered sites/companies/app included Bing, Steam, Yahoo, and PayPal. Then what happened to them? Well, 2 days after the deadline the government then decided to extend the deadline to 27 July. Funnily enough there is also a press conference where a Ministry of Information representative said there will be no tolerance, threatening to block the big companies (at that time Twitter and WhatsApp was included) and basically warned Indonesia will replace them with local apps just like China

Same medalists for women’s 35km race walk?

Yeah I looked up about him and basically your comment sums up my thoughts lol

Heartbreak for Fahnbulleh

Didn't know is subscribing to Rent-a-Kenyan service too

Dos Santos!

Good news for his fans, some hardcore Yuqi fan that I know online even had started a countdown timer for his comeback. Would be interesting to see his play after long absence

No difference at all.. Several (usually) reputable Indonesian online news websites called the World Games as Wushu World Championships Some smarter ones managed to get the event name right but proudly claimed that sport climbing is not contested in Tokyo 2020 so it's contested in Birmingham

Since you are a foreigner, they're asking you to appoint some Indonesian - naturally it would be me - to do the paperwork instead. But I don't think they even know Totallympics exists in the first place, so just rest assured

In an attempt to further "control" the internet, Indonesian government are forcing digital service providers to register on government database (and give government even more rights to order removal of any contents they don't like) and threaten to block basically everything on the Internet if they didn't comply 20 July. The definition of "digital service providers" in this messed-up regulation is a person/entity who owns a system that includes payment/transaction or process personal information. Millions of websites obviously fall in this category and basically the government is demanding the whole net to register. So if @Sindodoesn't register to the Information Ministry by 20 July, this forum will be blocked in Indonesia Of course this is clearly a scare tactic in hopes of extorting tax from foreign tech giants and has always been proposed by the stupid minister for the last 2 years, but this is the first time they actually set a deadline. Interesting to see what will happen in 4 days So far only two popular international services have registered: Tiktok and Spotify.

I was told a highlight of wushu competitions will be shown on the daily highlights, patiently waiting 17 minutes before being able to see the wushu pictogram only to find 10 seconds later the video suddenly skips to the TV opening sequence before showing the second part of the highlights. Amazing luck indeed for wushu fans. And IWUF just busy showing Olympic Champion 1976 flirting with the athletes. Might as well go outside and slap people for no reason to join the madness

I only saw Sport climbing 14 July - 06.00-07.15 local time I will be glad if I was told that I visited the wrong page/read the wrong info

Hmmm just looked at the stream schedule and it seems that the speed climbing finals tomorrow won’t be live too?

Yeah, but the Indonesian national team IG is streaming right now. And is in good position to win their first gold (and medal)

@Olympian1010any insider information on Wushu stream? I don’t see it on the schedule and USAWKF is only giving me answer templates

Olly Hogben? I guess I just don’t suit his style then lol

The sumo bouts are quite interesting but I wish I could watch the one without commentary… It’s not like there are a lot of rare kimarite (winning move) but it’s better to hear the official anouncement rather than the commentator trying to guess the kimarite and say nothing afterwards

We only just passed the half of 2022 and we should get ready to throw away the dream of securing gold from sport climbing in Paris 2024 lol I do hope they won't only end up as World Games champions which is a title unknown to 99.9% of Indonesian citizens

The Olympic website have replays of them Dancesport for example: https://olympics.com/en/video/dance-day-1-session-2-birmingham-2022-world-games-replays-x0198

The mayor of Birmingham giving me a startup CEO vibes, which is actually refreshing

I’m more interested whether we can see it after the stream ends…

Before it was included in National Games, there is already a cricket ground in Bali. The island is the gateway for introducing new sports to Indonesia, including kabaddi and vovinam. Unsurprisingly, at the National Games many Balinese cricket players were bought by other provinces

You can try searching it with Arabic (copy it from the Wiki page of Oran 2022). There are Algerian public TV, OnTime Sports which geoblock the streams (but will be available worldwide after it ended), and “June DZ” which showed 1 hour daily recaps

I found it hilarious the guy in white (I think he’s the announcer) just calmly watched the whole thing and he was like “ah shit here we go again”
