At least the championships is treated as International Challenge, a big boost for African players especially if they want play in higher level tournaments during Olympic qualification.

It is a blessing for sports fan living in China, in Indonesia...

49kg women Hou Zhihui Ri Song Gum Zhang Rong The commentator said that Hou is having flu~

Well.. The noisiest E-sports players are usually from Southeast Asia

Looks like the recording is up http://sports.cctv.com/m/v/index.shtml?videoID=VIDEraNTtnU3UEil9IY6MEnx190420

There are not many water-carrier who run marathon nowadays I believe

Election for the Indonesian parliament will be a World War

Just voted today.. Let's see whether we will continue what we have or change into a likely dictatorship. Time to enjoy discounts with the ink

Welp I will be happy too It would be weird for a country with gamer rehab center to showcase e-sports

Maybe All I can think about is "Ninja Warrior"

By the way you guys should check what are added to Southeast Asian Games in 2019.

The rest of the news basically are identical with your post. However, in the closing part it is said that they are also hinting the possible changes to the programme with "youth sports" (I bet Bach will be horny after this). They mentioned skateboarding, surfing, sport climbing, and...... f***ing breakdancing

It will be included... Together with Go/Weiqi, just like 2010. Here is an excerpt of news, I highlighted the words (although it might be not updated)

We also have special ink stuff too.. And usually people vote in order to get special discount in some restaurants lol I think the ink is the cheapest way, especially for 2nd and 4th most populous country.

Interesting. So basically it is a upgraded and neater version of what is done in Indonesia. When I said got my election ticket delivered, it is not via mail. Once the tickets are ready and signed by the polling station manager, he/she distributes it to the do district head. And the district head later distribute it to the neighborhood heads. This is where the abuse of power starts Some of them usually support certain candidate and refuse to give the tickets to those he know supporting the opposing candidate. Even sometimes it is used as last ditch attempt for campaigning by giving the tickets with some money and the message "psssst! choose candidate X"

Elections incoming in Indonesia (April 17), my "election ticket" was delivered today and it made me think of questions like "do people out there got stuff like this or not". Basically the ticket is one small strip of paper signed by the 'polling station manager' (dunno what is the correct term) with your name and ID number plus the location of polling station. Even if you have your own ID which is of course also means that you're eligible to vote (aged 17 or more), without this ticket you can't enter the polling station. Those without the tickets can only vote 1 hour before the station closes and only when there are leftover ballot papers left. What is funny about this stuff is since it is done manually, deceased people sometimes still getting these (despite he/she had already passed away like 7-8 years ago) or one family living in the same house sometimes got 1-2 members not getting the tickets.

Are the venues fixed yet (it seems like the ones in the wiki is not updated)? There is no venues page in the website.

But she hasn't really decided on it yet https://olympics.bwfbadminton.com/news-single/2019/04/08/tai-undecided-on-retirement-post-tokyo-2020/ Perhaps Intanon's message to her changed her mind...

How do you want to catch someone from match-fixing? Installing spy cameras in every venue, every badminton association building, every team hotels, also in every players' and coaches' pockets? Even if you know the match is fixed, as long as there is no proof like "X instructs Y to lose to Z" you can't just ban them. (sad but true) It's not that easy.... At least referee nowadays dare to confront fishy matches and threaten them with black card, just like Li/Liu vs He/Tan in Fuzhou last year.

The perfect moment to give hope to Zhang Jun's ambition in 2020

Can we just stop depicting trampoline as ass-breaker? I mean that pose is a common technique but..... *never mind* Overall the anime-style mascot is a better way to represent the sports

Lol I remembered this, someone joked about a bomb and the whole luggage was moved for security check

Well, Timor Leste also doesn't.

I just pray to Gods of all religions to prevent the dreadful Emtek (which I almost always bash for Rio 2016 and Asian Games 2018 broadcast fiasco) from securing the rights for Tokyo 2020

Not anymore I think.. Especially it's the Summer Olympics. During Pyeongchang 2018 IOC just randomly let Indian subcontinent able to stream via YouTube and Olympic Channel.
