Just write a bullshit guarantee that you will assure the entry and the safety of Israelis for the Olympics only. But actually by regulations, Israelis can enter Indonesia as long as they have completed the paperworks (unlike Malaysia for example, which is 100% impossible). And for athletes they are not allowed to have the flag or the word "Israel" at their uniforms. In the reality however, it's not that easy. If you know the Misha Zilberman case when he participated in 2015 BWF World Championships in Jakarta. Even though he had done all the needed stuff, he is still rejected. Fortunately the organizers and BWF quickly responded, get his visa issued, and pick him up from Singapore. The islamic radicals already threaten the disrupt the event, sending death threats to the head of the organizer. Organizer also switched his court and delay his schedule a bit so by the time someone check the venue, Misha is already done and safe in the hotel. Weeks before Asian Games I meet the former Sports Minister, and I asked him "What are you going to do with Israeli flags at the venue?". He replied, "We'll ask IOC to give us dispensation since it is our stance." (lol wtf). I already got stared by others by asking that. Our government keep campaigning for 2032 but they keep silent about how they will deal with Israel....

No need Aceh actually, give them a few pictures from "daerah kumuh" in Jakarta and they can make a whole story like Rio 2016 with the favela residents That's why I support all bids except the one from my own country

Honestly I am kinda disappointed since there is no letter from Lausanne 2020 which I can put in a frame

Weirdly enough, as of today Indonesia don't ban Chinese nationals from entering (but flights are very limited) but we ban imports. And when I went to post office earlier, people also can't send packages to China/HK/Macau. But everything could change, since the approach will be reviewed every 2 days by our government.

Whoa, I thought I'm the last one to receive that

You know what, the Indonesian media already making clickbaits about China skipping the All England

Nigeria is outraged because they haven't get their visa, alleging Egypt is intentionally preventing them

So.. Have you guys got your bags? @Olympian1010 @Vojthas

Well if he was busted after Rio, that will be a different story Just like Ben Johnson, he was 'unlucky' at Seoul

It is expected that he needs another 3 months, most likely he will miss all the tournaments until Thomas Cup. He is indeed very unlucky

Momota underwent a surgery again after he was back in training. An undetected fracture under his right eye made him seeing "double shuttles" https://www3.nhk.or.jp/news/html/20200208/k10012278111000.html

India withdrew their women's team from BATC, citing parents' concern on coronavirus. The men's team will still play, though. https://m.timesofindia.com/sports/badminton/indian-women-team-withdraws-from-badminton-asia-championships-due-to-coronavirus-threat/amp_articleshow/74013763.cms

They are still interested, at least that's what the Indian Olympic Association president said that 3 days ago. Who do you want to trust, an Australian or an Indian?

Olympian1010 used insulting behaviour against China! Olympian1010 is not sponsored by Li Ning! Olympian1010 does not have a Chinese coach! It's not very effective...

I'm assuming this is a win-win solution since the ban won't affect his chances to 2022 Olympics. But wait... 2022 Olympics will be in Beijing

It's intended.. Optical illusion for other competitors, making them dizzy and run slower

Apparently some Thai doctor created a concoction of HIV antiviral with flu drug which made one of the patient "showed dramatic improvement" https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/international/world-news/thailand-sees-apparent-success-treating-virus-with-drug-cocktail/articleshow/73879572.cms?from=mdr

https://timindonesia.id/international-hall-langkah-nyata-noc-wujudkan-indonesia-tuan-rumah-olimpiade-2032/ Lol, I was clickbaited by this article. The title reads "International Hall, a concrete step to host the 2032 Olympics". I thought finally they are planning to address the lack of indoor arenas here. Turns out they are opening a new hall for welcoming foreign sport delegates, just in case Bach or someone in "Future Bid Commission" came to visit.

Thanks!
