Indonesia secured first gold from water polo

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"

at my last check-up, I was tested positive for losartan potassium and hydrochlorothiazide...
 
actually, I was so doped that the tube exploded...
 
of course, I got a lifetime ban on any too salted food (and all other foods causing blood pressure problems)...
 

still, imho they have to deserve that reward, i.e. getting at least good (nobody ask them to be medal contenders) in that discipline...
 
what we saw last Summer with the Korean Waterpolo teams at the world champs is absolutely unacceptable to me...

Favorite day of the year . We got between 3 and 4 inches on the valley floor, 1 foot in the smaller hills, and 2 - 3 feet in the mountains. Got the opportunity to tobogganing. Here’s a few pictures from around the house:

If you're talking country wide no one cares about anything beyond the main sports outside of Olympics. But still I wouldnt put water polo in the same sentence as handball.  

Agree. For me, the problem lies with the organizing committee being headed by a politician looking to use it as a springboard to further his political ambitions. What makes things worse is the committee's failure to seek advice from the people who worked on the Games the last time they were held in the country in 2005. They also refused to seek assistance from other government departments or the public sector.
 

They will cook 1 Azerbaijan i mean 1 turkey 

If Coleman qualified that would be rather unexpected. To be honest, I wasn’t sure if the US would qualify anyone. Great performance clearly 

Ah, thanks. @MHSN @Laraja I’ve never seen that happened at the World Cup level, but that’s a semi-normal occurrence in indoor climbing. Some holds are just tough to bolt down, and sometimes some just come loose.

I’m not one to brag, though I do seem to do it often on here (and that makes me said a bit, because that’s not really my personality, especially when it comes to sports). But I felt the need to #humblebrag right now so:

 
Made it to the California State Geography Bee finals. I qualified out of regionals thanks to my knowledge of Guatemala’s National Bird (the Quetzal). I was eliminated at state finals because I missed two questions (One was about: Which is more likely to live in the Artic, a fossa or a musk ox? And the other was about naming countries that border the Danube River).
 
Safe to say I know a bit geography. I score in the 99th percentile in the US.
 
Also, I don’t think the world is “flate”, not would I ever eat a BigMac in my life. I’m also pretty certain I know the difference between  and . I just made an honest/lazy mistake.

BHUTAN!!!!!

I am currently in Belgrade which is about 600 km north of Albania so i didnt feel any tremor at all. But i heard that it was felt by many Belgrade inhabitants. I am sure that earthquake was very strong in my hometown Podgorica which is very close to the epicentre. I cant imagine that force (6,5) since the most powerfull earthquake i felt was about 5.2.
Crazy thing about earthquakes. 2011 Japan earthquake was so strong that it moved earth axis and shortened duration of day. Whole Earth was shaking at least 1 cm. Imagine that force.
 

Make the best of it.
 

I like the colors.  A first glance, they looked leather.  My thought was, that is one way to stand out.

This should be a link to look at the pictures of Lithuania's suits.

I’ve never seen something more Canadian 
 

It’s a few more days before anything else gets underway. We can find some phone shoot live-streams of waterpolo on Facebook (Philippines Waterpolo), besides that we pretty much have to wait until the 29-30th

Cricket should have been held. Most of these SEA nations are doing well in the sport. Thailand are qualified for WC. Malaysia can qualify for U19 Women's World Cup in 2021 along with Thailand depending on how ICC does qualifications. Even Philippines finished 2nd in Men's EAP qualifier with PNG winning and qualifying for global qualifiers ,later qualifying for WC 2020 T20.

Ah yes, the famously anglosphere dominated sports of sports climbing and karate.
 
Honestly only Surfing is anglosphere dominated of the sports being added.

Imagine how shitty the rest really is, producing so little with a much healthier population  

As I said before, media framing worked really well in these Games. They keep focusing the bad side in Manila as if the other host cities doesn't exist.
 
Venues in Clark are nice and overall running smoothly, halal food kitchen is ready, etc. But no one cares. Why? Because it won't appeal to readers...
