Two bronze medals to be awarded in todays 10m Air Rifle Mixed Team event.

The Philippine women’s 3x3 basketball team had to pull out of the Games after they were able to find only two players for the team. The head coach had submitted a list of thirteen players to the organising committee but only two agreed to play for the team. An attempt to replace the two players was rejected by the organising committee.

She finished sixth in the 50 meters backstroke. No change from her placement in the morning heats

I’m curious about that too!

19 teams compete in six groups. The top two teams from each group advance to the second round. All twelve teams play in the second round. Here’s where things get absurd. Of the six winners in the second round, two teams get byes to the semifinals. if it were up to me, I’d have four of the third place teams advance to the second round for a proper Round of 16 and no byes for any of the teams.

Another quarterfinal match in women’s cricket abandoned. This time, it’s the game between Bangladesh and Hongkong. Bangladesh advances to the semifinals.

Second quarterfinal in women’s cricket between Pakistan and Indonesia has been postponed

Agree. Especially for the team sports.

When following any of the OCA’s sporting events, you have to keep your standards low.

The list of teams competing in both men and women’s tournaments are available on the official website in the Competitions section under Ball Sports. It’s also available on the 2022 Asian Games Wikipedia page.

What’s even worse is the way the team events are organised. Look at the last minute withdrawals in football. We’re left with a situation where there are groups in both men and women’s tournaments with only two teams.

Silver for Obiena in the pole vault. Second ever medal for at the world championships, both won by Obiena.

Old habits die hard

I don’t think the organisers want people to find out what’s happening at the Games. Hence the absence of results on the website.
