Me neither The head of federation claimed "even though we only have slim chance for Tokyo 2020 due to our weakness in lead and bouldering, we'll try our best to keep our players in form by participating in world class tournaments." but then skipped the World Championships A medal would be nice today especially in the Independence Day

For some reason they chose to participate at the OQT in France.

It seemed harsh but if it is not enforced, the race is a joke.

They also have 2 silvers in Gold Coast, unfortunately lack of funds prevents them from achieving more success

Yeah because any other Olympic sports besides archery in Bangladesh is a disaster. Even Wikipedia agrees

Well, they have been very active in the past 5-6 years.

Precisely. It is not easy to search for the event you wanted to watch

Rank Flag #1 #2 #3 #4 #5

Well because their best event, live target archery, has been cancelled from the program.

So apparently the Youth National Games of China has a curling event, curling-bowls combined event , and curling-floor curling combined event? Am I reading this right @Function CR Lee ?

I was referring to China tho

They have their own version of PM which is called Premier

Rather sad (to be the president), actually. (With the exception of China where it is the other way round )

Finally! Asia might have to wait another 30 years

Thanks! Still wondering why BWF don't just explain it at the first hand lol

Well anyway, I'm not really sure whether it is true or not (Foo Kune's visa was rejected). A redraw is only possible if there is mistake in online registering or not following the draw rules (country separation, etc.). So if Foo Kune is really unable to attend, she should be simply replaced with a reserve player. Seems like there is a fatal thing and BWF tried to make up some bad excuse, which the Indonesian official had said?

"mistakenly been included"

Is it? In Indonesia one official said that Kate Foo Kune was unable to get her visa accepted

I just need a 2-minute walk on public holiday to see boys about 17 constantly falling trying to do a basic jump without protective pads

Does it also include ball badminton?

We don't have a state-defined national sport nor a regional sport.. But this is the pattern when you ask Indonesians about national sport: Football, yeah the eleven-a-side game is obviously popular in term of following and fans. It comes in package with supporter boxing Badminton, often erroneously cited as the national sport. The best sport in term of competitiveness and success, on term of participation maybe neck-to-neck with football. Not as popular as it used to be but the Asian Games really skyrocketed the TV ratings. Pencak silat, often called the national support because it is (said that) originated from the country. However I can guarantee 11 out of 10 people you ask in the streets won't know how the scoring of tanding (the kumite/kyorugi equivalent) works. Only followed during National Games or SEA Games. Sepak takraw is also regarded as the native sport (however once again, the claim was disputed and questionable) and once again people only watch during the National Games, SEA Games, or Asian Games. Some region also have their traditional sporting activities such as: Fahombo, a coming-of-age native ritual for teenage boys in Nias Island where they must able to jump over a 2 meter stone structure. (when I was younger I've always thought the Nias people should fare well in Olympic high jump) Pathol, a beach-wrestling game originated in Rembang used to find a fit soldier to guard port of Tuban. Tarung Derajat, a kickboxing style combat sport developed by Haji Ahmad Drajat from West Java, hence the name. (it is a demonstration sport in 2011 SEA Games)

Total blackout in Jakarta and surrounding areas, fortunately the MRT emergency doors worked

We are not "Muslim country" but "predominantly Muslim country". There. Stop the generalization.
