Watching the Kabaddi World Cup from India... it's different but interesting.

The Indian ref just shouted "HET EH TEL" into the face of the Japanese captain. This went on 6 or 7 times with increasing volume before the Japanese noticed the coin in the ref's hand and said head.

Quite a cool sport.

What is it with South Asians and retard sports?

My big consideration about it is quite how it is refereed. Making sure somebody hasn't breathed out seems pretty tough. Strikes me that breathing discretely could be a learnable skill.
I watched a video of it and it is odd, the defending team staying arm in arm and steadily backing off.

I wonder how much that gold on his neck weighs. B.A. Baracus would be proud.

The Athens medals look tiny compared to the others.

These guys aren't impressed.

So what's happening with you Liep? No comment about the Handball world championship tournament going right now in France? I mean, Denmark is qualified. 
Quite a media barrage here, though games are on a sports pay tv, held by a qatari firm no less.

I only heard that there was no agreement regarding the TV rights for the tournament in Germany. Handball is popular in some regions (e.g. up North where you have some of the top clubs with Kiel, Flensburg, and Hamburg), but nowhere near football levels.

In the end a bank who sponsors the event decided to stream at least the German matches on the interwebs. Which caused the broadcasting regulatory body to step in and declare that this would make the bank a broadcaster and liable to the same regulations/responsibilities as TV and radio stations.

I've been on vacation, no TVs on the beach. I'll be sure to update when Denmark wins!
