23rd Sea Games

I don't think that the SEA games is rigged because there are quite a good number of foreign judges and international press. Plus, playing in our own court is a very big factor because of the support.

...and IMO if ever it was rigged then it's about time that we do, SIGE LANG DI'AY SILA?Â* Again, this is just my opinion.

maglisod man jud na cla ug pildi sa pinas kay pila na gud na ka buwan or tuig nga nagpraktis atong mga athletes on the same fields nga ilang giduwaan karon..as sir beor said, home-court advantage

[yotnik]

i know our team are performing well and every team should also but i think the performance we have now is mainly influenced by our home court advantage.By our support and our cheers to our athletes and it has also greatly influenced the decisions of the officials of every game especially those subjective type of games.the way they judge is greatly influence by the so called home court advantage in which i think is not fair...but i still beleive in the strength of our team...Go RP team!!!

Well, thai officials already cried cheating. I have reason to believe them. Just read the inquirer story on fencing competitions.

i think this is not the first time nga nahitabo ni....every country nga mo host naa gyud cheating nga mahitabo...or mas paburan gyud nila ang home country(hilo-an pa lang unya sila) bitaw dili na ni bag-o nga balita kon kana nag sunod gyud mo sa SEA games, bisan gani sa Olympic naa man na so dili nana ika hibong! akong tambag ani nila(thai officials) paghuwat na lang mo sunod sea games ug didto na lang mo pamawi sa inyu...

go team philippines!!! we should be proud of our team... i dont believe on those speculations about cheating... our athletes have been ready for this, they were prepared. some of them even trained abroad... why should i doubt about their talents? they have been there before and they were ready... sakto si sir beor, home court advantage... d na cla gusto mapahiya sa ila fellow countrymen that's why they're trying their best to be on top jud... ngano mn diay if wala ta na include sa top three last SEA games d na diay ta pwede mo-catch up sa other countries? we are just as competitive as they are lang jud... peace!

Interestingly, during the 18th SEA Games held in Chiang Mai, Thailand, they grabbed about 47% of the gold medals at stake. When they again hosted the Bangkok SEA Games in 1983, they grabbed about 36.08% of the gold medals at stake.
