vs for Thomas Cup final.. Would you believe it if anyone says this before the start of Thomas Cup

A job for the new BWF Equipment Sponsor!

is inching towards history… (what a shame wasn’t succesful in doing that earlier)

Pencak silat now using poomsae like format for its artistic section, making individual event a mess (many gold medal contenders meeting each other in first round)

Yes there are live streams on the official Youtube channel or just type the Vietnamese phrase “SEA Games 31 truc tiep” on the search box But the website is quite awful in term of results, I don’t think it will be informative nor having the real time result update

wins the first gold of 2021 Southeast Asian Games in their main event

Muito obrigado @titicow!

Holy cow!

Indonesia 1st India India 12 Finland 11 New Zealand 10 China 9 Colombia 8 Poland 7 Ireland 6 Spain 5 Lithuania 4 Canada 3 Italy 2 Turkey 1 That concluded the votes from Indonesia. We understand there is much love to our jury, but we did not expect they literally send us love in the votes. We need some hate too! Terima kasih! Koszonom!

Should I activate the point rant?

Indeed. Just hoping this split will stay and not rejoined again for subsequent Games (well perhaps unlikely since there is even a proposal to split all 3 disciplines as standalone events for 2028 if Paris 2024 format is successful).

The question is when will the Indonesians try to learn other disciplines

Might as well announce another postponement for the Asian Youth Games too

Yeah that's just him being unhappy. BWF did not use their terms consistent enough and Ygor complained using his own interpretation (which is clearly wrong) Others did reject the allocation. The first they asked is as the Oceania runner-up, but they rejected. One player from Tahiti complained that their federation (as the semifinalist) were not invited by BWF. And as there are no more Oceanian teams, they go to team rankings. I believe with the strict quarantine just don't see the trip worth it and also won't bother going. It is interesting they did not mention in the press release, probably the shady BWF didn't even bother inviting them too...

withdrew from Thomas Cup, replaced them based on team rankings OTOH, Ygor Coelho tweeted that it is unfair because there are no official "team rankings" and they should be in instead of USA since they're better placed than USA in Pan Am Cup

No lol, this troop is tired from load of works in recent days and in danger of desertion for any post-midnight operation

Yep, it's just a temporary project

In an unrelated event, Israeli badminton player just defeated a Chinese player and the comments were filled with Indonesians and Malays condemning BWF for allowing Israel to play while banning Russia (also condemning why the BWF result bot showed Israeli flag but not the Chinese Taipei flag - which is actually caused by emoji limitation) The pro Russian sentiment in Indonesia (not the government, but the common folks) is unusually high to the point that it is included in Wikipedia

INDONESIA GANGGA - "Forever" Forever is one of the song of Gangga Hataqwa's first album, It's Never Easy. This song was also nominated as the New Artist of the Year in the 2021 Indonesian Music Awards. Enjoy!
