  1. Since I'm bored so I decided to do a more thorough detective work. I think at that time the they didn't create qualification summary PDF for each sports. Both IOC and Singapore 2010 archive only list the event will be from "5 junior continental championships in 2010". The closest thing that details the qualification system is this and this. So the artistic and rhythmic qualifying were held in 2009, while the trampoline is part of 2010 senior edition
  2. Can't find the qualification file but from this news article looks like that they did use the 2009 Junior PanAm results. https://m.panamaamerica.com.pa/node/491606
  3. I can see ISG's collapse in a few years if the already narrow pool of potential hosts became struggling financially post COVID-19
  4. Now I regretted that I stopped my subscription for the provider which broadcasts Bundesliga. But hey there is always a way
  5. Yeah me too. It's good for unity. I mean people gather every 2 years to screenshot the word 'Dick Pound' at the ceremonies
  6. They haven't done it. Crap, now everything is lost
  7. Chung Hae-won (football, 1988) died due to cancer on May 1 https://www.yna.co.kr/view/AKR20200505031700007
  8. The first ever McDonald's chain in Indonesia is closing after 30 years and the virus ain't gonna stop them from saying goodbye
  9. I still remember how my friend dislike it so much (he - for obvious reason - supported Anggun) and complained how a shaman on stage could win
  10. Oh boy, you haven't tried Civ 6 on iOS which is almost 5 times bigger
  11. I still keep 2 big boxes in my house: one for YGO and one for Pokemon. Btw, I realized I also played the Japanese Arcade TCG where you involve animals to fight ranging from beetles (Mushiking), dinosaurs (Dinosaur King), and just a bunch of wild animals (Animal Kaiser)
  12. Not much online resources available for Indonesian athletes, but there are Adang Ajiji (archery - male), Suminar Rachmat & Murniningsih (archery - female). These 3 athletes never had the chance for 1984 unlike the last member of the team: Donald Pandiangan (who competed in 1976 and 1984). However this also became a heartbreak for Donald, because he is reported to break the FITA world record in 1977 National Games and was top 12 in the World Championships. He felt that he lost the best chance to medal (he cried when Indonesia officially boycotted), but in the end he decided to take up the women's archery coach position in 1988 which you know what the results are
  13. I think I've seen the Korean version called 'matgo' where old people usually play it with a little gamble.
  14. Yeah, I also never played the real game since no one really play it at school.. More into collecting and bragging to friends
  15. Traditional board games that I have played is congklak (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southeast_Asian_mancala), I think there is an app about that in Google Play. There is also dam-daman which is the Javanese version of draughts. I used to be super interested with trading card games. In my school days, YuGiOh was a big hit, lots of us dueled before the first lesson starts where unfortunate students get their cards confiscated. Duel Masters and Pokemon were also quite popular. Some also played Magic The Gathering (MTG), where I love the funny/witty flavour text of the cards (the same case with Duel Masters - they came from the same company). MTG has the online version on Steam called MTG Arena. Nowadays board game cafes are quite popular, I enjoyed Coup (like @Olympian1010) and Drakon (a board game where you take turns in creating tiles to get coin, and the tiles have their own power) when hanging out there with my friends.
  16. Anyway, I found it: https://useventing.com/resources/documents/1991_archive_results.pdf Scroll until North Georgia 3 Day Event held 6-10 Nov 1991. They didn't show the countries of the athletes, though.
  17. So then it is just a local bias. But still, it give me the urge to complete the incomplete since I can't unsee it
  18. Will try to find some info and add it when I have time.
  19. Now this is the story I haven't heard before
  20. Not "maybe", he is indeed famous internationally, I think I have read a story that Hitler personally awarded gold medal to him in 1936 after defeating the two Germans with a big margin
  21. People usually go back to their hometown during Ramadhan, but this year's different because it is forbidden to leave the city where you currently live. Of course some people decided to "screw the rules, it is a tradition and I'm gonna go back whatever it takes." The latest example is police found out that a tow truck is even used in this 'escape attempt'
  22. Well, I'm not talking about the cyclist #dodge Yeah, I don't know about him, in fact I googled "what does wout means"
  23. The funny thing here is that they adhere to the Dutch standard but not if he is an Indonesian citizen. Although a more respectable news outlet will keep the consistency regardless of nationality. So we will see 'Wout van Aert is a Dutch athlete. Yesterday Van Aert won a gold medal', but also 'Bernard Benyamin Van Aert is an Indonesian cyclist.'
  24. And Indonesia as former Dutch colony follows the way 'van/de' are written in the Netherlands but I see an increase in some news how they ignorantly just capitalize each 'word'. School textbooks are still maintaining the Dutch style, but I am not so sure with the crappy government-printed textbooks. For those Dutch-descent Indonesian citizens, 'van/de' of their names will be capitalized too in their birth register like the famous cycling family of Van Aert.
