  1. Well actually I just need something to watch, because a week without badminton is too harsh
  2. More like because most of those who registered so far has no more chances since they have higher ranked compatriots.
  3. Some people created a kingdom inside Indonesia called 'Keraton Agung Sejagat' (The Great Universe Palace) and claimed to be the successor state of Majapahit. Their aim is to claim the whole planet (with 450 followers) After the Sejagat 'king' and 'queen' imprisoned, another guy proclaimed Sunda Empire and said that UN HQ is actually leased from his kingdom (they tried to vandalize Wikipedia pages about UN). After the second 'country' dissolved and the guy arrested, yesterday we have another one called 'Negara Rakyat Nusantara' (People's State of Nusantara) which tried to dissolve Indonesia and already have a flag: He got arrested in less than 24 hours. Like seriously, people are trying everything to get famous
  4. Lingshui Masters postponed, planned to be held in May. Asian Championships is very likely to have a new venue, with Philippines reported to be interested
  5. In an 1 month old article I just stumbled upon yesterday, Citra Febrianti hasn't received her silver medal years after London 2012 53kg women's medal officially reallocated. Her letter was ignored by the Weightlifting Federation and now she is attempting to meet the president... https://lampung.tribunnews.com/2019/12/23/citra-febriyanti-peraih-medali-perak-di-olimpiade-london-mau-ketemu-jokowi-koni-kami-akan-bantu
  6. Arctic Winter Games (15-21 Mar), Yukon Bolivarian Youth Games (17-30 Oct), Sucre, Bolivia
  7. 3 Algerian umpires were suspended for not "helping" Algerian athletes at African Championships @bestmen https://www.elwatan.com/edition/sports/pour-avoir-refuse-de-tricher-trois-arbitres-de-badminton-au-frigo-depuis-2-ans-29-01-2020?fbclid=IwAR2G3SPBRhUxKH4kJOEcVlrvX_3YVHsteAIbeR15sfX3JZUGde0RkobEgaw
  8. Until now it is still 'assumed' that it starts from there, but here's some interesting data: https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2020/01/wuhan-seafood-market-may-not-be-source-novel-virus-spreading-globally Demand for bat meat in the craziest Indonesian wet market is still unaffected though
  9. They called it "Wuli" after a public vote. Which is funny for me because in Chinese it can mean 'unreasonable' or 'irrational'.
  10. Nope. And usually badminton uses Excel files instead of PDF.
  11. Yeah because fearmongering using a country with a 1.5 billion population plus the notorious tourist reputation is more logical than "some random African states"
  12. I start to wonder that people who can design a good mascot must be sent to a gulag somewhere
  13. Lol, it is weird enough to remember. If it wasn't for the quiz, I always think that Lele is a living jellybean
  14. BWF to use synthetic shuttles starting from 2021: https://mobile.reuters.com/article/amp/idUSKBN1ZJ0CE It's not the Mavis or Carbonex, but a top-secret shuttle which had some in-depth trial in USA, Dubai, and Indonesia. One Badminton Asia official I know on Twitter gave a spoiler: A 90% similarity with a feathered shuttle.
  15. Meanwhile in Indonesia: Aquatic Gymnastics (although more media starts to adhere to the newest name change) Let's wait for FIG trying to claim that discipline
  16. Bad idea to put athletes with surname 'Zhang' and 'Jang' in one heat because the commentator ain't putting effort to differentiate them
  17. Ugandan umpire officiating at Indonesia Masters had her bag stolen.. She lost her important documents, credit card, and a few hundred dollars
