I suspect India will be bringing back the pairs events as an opportunity to boost their medal tally at the 2022 Games.

A waste of our tax money -
From this article, it looks like there was a difference of opinion between the FIG representative and the interpretation of the technical handbook on whether or not to award two gold medals. Gymnastics: Malaysia’s chef de mission lodges official complaint over decision to strip Izzah’s gold medal in ribbon event | The Star Online
-
I think what happened is that the technical handbook included rules to break ties during the qualification stage. But there were no rules about breaking ties during the finals. So the Malaysians had a reason to feel aggrieved
-
It looks like the organisers changed their minds and decided to make women’s breaking a medal event even though there were only two athletes entered. Same with water polo for women. Initially, they weren’t going to award bronze medals because there were only three teams entered but now the official website shows the bronze medals awarded to the Philippines. Canoeing. I’m confused with what’s showing on the official website as well. It seems like there were six events held instead of seven. Looks like the kayak singles got cancelled.

They've reinstated the gold medal after the Malaysians appealed to the organizing committee. Gymnastics: M'sia's Izzah has gold medal reinstated in ribbon event in SEA Games | The Star Online
-
Bummer!
-
Do they have PDFs on the media section?
-
Agree. It’s a great story. Sadly, it was ignored by the local media
-
Why do I get the feeling the official website is still a work in progress even though the Games are at the halfway point?
-
Up until the 1980 Summer Olympics, they used to hold swimming and diving simultaneously at the same venue.

The swimming competition has finally begun.

Forgive them for they know not what they do.
-
The Games website has been practically inaccessible the whole day. And a complete list of results are hard to come by.
-
They included Arnis with 20 events and Dance Sport with 13 events so that the host country can jack up their medal haul. It’s the usual trick the host country pulls at the Southeast Asian Games.
-
The Philippines win their first medals of the Games with a 1-2 finish in the men’s triathlon.
-
Actually PTV not winning the rights here wasn’t a big deal. They haven’t really covered sports in recent years and there’s nothing worth watching on that channel anyway except for the daily lottery draws. We’ll probably be able to watch the Games here on four sports channels - two belonging to TV5 and two belonging to ABS-CBN
-
These Games will really be a disaster if the President comes late to the opening ceremonies and/or delivers a rambling speech to the athletes before he declares the Games open.
-
I watched the live swimming competitions at the last two Southeast Asian Games on a Singapore Youtube channel. Don't know if it will still be available this year
-
The Games are being broadcast on all our major TV channels. For maximum exposure I guess
-
And the Philippines will win their first medal in men’s water polo since 2011. If they defeat Malaysia on the last day of competition, they’ll win the silver medal ahead of Singapore
-
I don't think they sold a lot of tickets. So there aren't going to be a lot of angry people. But you have to feel for the fans who made an effort to buy tickets. They were told to consider the money they paid as a "contribution"
