Meanwhile here is Xue Rongrong, the Paralympic mascot....

Agreed, just like Soohorang of 2018: simple and lovable No need to be complicated.

The mascot of Beijing 2022, Bing Dundun/Bing Dwendwen the panda. (Personal opinion: I prefer him to be called Astropanda, or Taikopanda to emphasize the Chinese-ness )

I love how the guy recording this is still teasing the athlete (0:16 "This guy from Johor, his knee already....(unfinished)") while also panting a bit

And... no they didn't We only got a blurry Facebook stream

Yamaguchi is out Happy for Marin after she crashed out in Vietnam last week, tomorrow vs Beiwen is going to be another exciting match.

Hello @CestaKago, welcome to Totallympics!

Just learned about this, what a pity

I wonder why we pushed so hard to join Japan and Philippines...

May he rest in peace

It's global though.. And I think the "non-Western" anti-vaxxers are crazier with lack of rules to shut them up We had a rubella and diphtheria outbreak a few years back and it is also when the anti-vaxxers in Indonesia rise. The mighty "Indonesian Clerics Council" declared 'some vaccine (in this case is the MR vaccine) is haram, but still can be used because it is emergency'. But most people read that as "all vaccines are haram". And there we have it, a rise of measles/rubella/diphtheria cases in provinces with high conservative and fundamentalist concentration. Don't ask me why

Fans of Persija Jakarta (the league's defending champion) had to take a new approach with banners which surprisingly works. While the usual ultras or supporting banners failed to help the team to win, banners which criticize the team or the coach are frowned upon by the team officials. And the fans decided to use... (This house is for sale, call 081281886025) (Deadline of Land Tax Payment: 16 September 2019, Kindly pay your tax ASAP) (I don't have to explain this herbal ad...) (Yellow banner: Wrong way driving means playing with death) And they won yesterday, first win in 5 last matches

I live in a country which that kind of thing happens quite a few times..... I can't say for other country but being a foreigner here is already a protective shield to make them think twice (being a caucasian will even increase that shield's effectiveness) Yes those idiots are there and can be very scary, but at least try getting yourself below the radar (get caught by idiots mean you are even dumber.. )

I believe you are not a guy who carries megaphone everywhere and scream "I'm gay, please don't hurt me".... So I think you should be pretty much alright anywhere, why so afraid?

A lot of things can still happen... including whether Bach is still holding his office or not

Asian Games 2022 won't include breaking () and surfing https://www.insidethegames.biz/articles/1084709/oca-add-three-sports-hangzhou-2022

Not strict actually, but rather a cherry-picked one with inconsistent implementation

Yes, according to WPV.

It's just the "costume" which requires head covering... The dance is a modification of the traditional one from Aceh... Not all Muslim women cover their heads here (despite it is "trending") unless they live in Aceh, where it is compulsory.

Our State TV suddenly broadcasted the SF, and look what necktie is the host wearing Time to enjoy the match

That was quick.. It was nice, except the dark green shade. I think even the green on the flag is not even that dark?

Here.. To annoy you But seriously someone should increase the pay for Vatti Corp before asking for a torch...

BJ Habibie, our 3rd president, died this evening. Despite only holding the office for a year, he did a lot of things to stabilize the country such as freedom for press, started decentralization, starting first steps of anti-discrimination laws, and holding referendum for East Timor (which resulted in his downfall). May he rest in peace

They can create an Eurovision final if everyone submitted a song

Why?
