Most current mma fans have started out with K-1 & kickboxing rather than boxing. Netherlands (or Surinam & Curacao :evil: ) have always had a strong presence in K-1 so it should be popular with mma now. Alistair Overeem is still in UFC :p Bonjasky used to be my favorite K-1 fighter back in the vintage days :cheer:

 

And Morocco, although it's good a criminal like Badr Hari represents Morocco and not the Netherlands (where he's born and raised like most Moroccan kickboxers) :p 

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!

Indonesian National Games postponed to October 2021

Are those a “big” deal in Indonesia (meaning people care about them or watch them)?

Yes for the core sports like football, badminton, and volleyball. Opening ceremony also attracts a big crowd. Other events you are most likely to see students brought out from their schools to fill the seats.

 

It's more a political achievements for governors rather than an athlete development event nowadays. A vicious cycle: Win a bid > Build a sport complex far from the actual city > Hold the Games > Venues abandoned > Governor or his staff arrested for bidding bribe/corruption on venues :wacko:
