31st South East Asian Games

[jostorres]

The list of medals for the 2022 sea games, for now Vietnam still dominates at the top, it can be said that other countries will not be able to catch up with Vietnam, which has collected 155 medals so far, while my country is still ranked 4th, and has already won 67 medals. , but I don't know for sure what sports my country participates in, because I don't really follow these sea games, I only focus on one branch of football, in yesterday's match Indonesia managed to beat Myanmar with a score of 3-1, with a win Indonesia managed to qualify for the semifinals.

The event isn't over yet and even the op still hopes that other countries could catch up. I don't know if which country he resides but if he lives on Vietnam then he is a nice guy because he is not biased. You live in Thailand but why you are losing hope already and believes that Vietnam will take the lead? Tell me, do you have hate on your own country?

I am not expert on sea games but I believe that each country are the same, they will participate on all of the games available. You don't follow sea games but you did watch a match yesterday, I think that still considered that you are a follower of this event but Which platform did you watch? If it's youtube, you will see other matches related to it.

The Philippines will never be given high odds at SEA games basketball unless you want to accept that low odds.

It is automatic, the Philippines is the top dog in SEA game basketball so if you wanna win big by backing the Philippines then we should go with the spread.

For today's game against Vietnam, the handicap is -33.5 @1.84, a very high handicap but I think it can be covered as basketball is not the sport that Vietnam does love.

Yesterday I've got a second thought on betting for the Philippines against Singapore with that -38 handicap but after seeing the game I think it will be smooth sailing for them until their last game against Indonesia which I think poses more threat to the Gilas 5.

the latest update on the medal tally. Vietnam still leads with 88 gold, Thailand in the second place with 36 gold and the Philippines in the 3rd with 30 gold. also, it looks like Singapore has surpassed Malaysia and has cathed up with Indonesia with both of them having 24 gold medals.


me being a Filipino would love to see the Philippines Surpass Indonesia and take second place at the end of the SEA Games. it would be a huge feat to do especially when Indonesia has 888 athletes sent to the SEA games while the Philippines only has 656.

if anyone wants to bet on the SEA Games Women's Volleyball, stake.com has posted odds for their match Vietnam(10.00) vs Thailand(1.02)

Philippines already surpassed Indonesia because Indonesia before was on the 3rd rank but now it was on 4th. The battle now is between Thailand and Philippines. Both countries climb two spots from their previous rank. This is why it's hard to predict if who will win between them but I heard that Filipinos has a strong personality. They will try their best on everything that they do.

I have this feeling that they can surpass Thailand and possibly Vietnam on the first place but whatever the results will be, we must still be proud on the performance of our countrymen. That is what more important, not the medals, trophies or any other material things.

We know how much time and effort given by the organization, teams and player to compete in this event and each of them really deserves to have a huge congratulations to them, we know how the Philippines are active with this kind of game which is an ideal thing but the government does not focus to the things like this that's why mostly they have an issue with the sports game because they didn't  give enough funds for them only if they win they created the player feels sad with this but still the willingness of the player and the team to achieve the goal is in there.

What a handicap for the Philippines.

This just tells us how large the distance of the PH basketball team is to their neighboring countries in the Southeast Asia region.

They have won by 68 and 51 points against Cambodia and Singapore respectively and I think that -33.5 against Vietnam might be covered.

Vietnam won by 32 points against Cambodia though in the event opener.

What are you saying, bro? You should accept the reality that a 4th rank has a low chance now to catch up with the 1st rank which is the host country. You can really expect that the host country will dominate the event in almost all categories.

It doesn't mean that the user is giving up or hates the country. It's accepting the fact that is close to happening. Don't take the user's statement as a big deal.

It's already decided even though the event is not over yet.

while Vietnam is still in the lead with 126 gold, Thailand has increased their lead to the Philippines with 53 gold. the Philippines currently have 38 gold and will most likely have a hard time catching up. at the moment it looks like the Philippines will be stuck in the 3rd place and have a chance to be surpassed by Singapore 37 gold or Indonesia 36 gold.

[Dave1]

Surprisingly Thailand has pulled away for the second spot against PH in the gold standing.

While PH, and SG are tied with 37 golds apiece although in total medals, PH is ahead. And then Indonesia with 36 golds. So it will be a close battle for the second spot behind Vietnam.

I just want to share that one of my neighbors and close friends of mine just got silver today. She is Christine Organiza for the Full Marathon (42km). I know that she can get the gold but got cramps when there was only 600m left, but still congratulations on this. In previous sea games, the Philippines only received a few gold medals, but in the last few sea games, we have received many.

Whatever the score of the medal tally is, I hope everyone will gonna have a good time enjoying their games and it's really nice to participate in such an event where your opponents are from other countries and when you managed to overcome them, you will have a chance to compete in the world tournament which you will gonna further test your strength and skills. I hope they will have successful and safe SEAgames this year and congratulations to the winners and the other athletes reaching this kind of level is a great life accomplishment for them.

Well that is the spirit of any games, have a good time and get to know a lot of athletes in different discipline and be friends with them.

I didn't compete in SEA games, but years ago, I found a counterpart worker from Malaysia who did decades ago so it was fun to know someone from different nationality. And although I have quit from that job and the company, we still remain friends and keep in touch. Goodluck to Philippines as well, hopefully in the remaining days of the game they can still win more golds.

I was checking on the sportsbook I'm using and I saw a live game of basketball, I thought it's the men's basketball but i was surprised it was for the female, though I like to bet on live betting but I choose not to bet when I see that the Philipines is dominating the game with a very huge lead.

And now I check it's the men's basketball and Philippines also have a huge lead .

Team PH already beat the host country Vietnam in a Men's Basketball with 28 point lead. As mentioned above, the pre-game handicap for the Philippines is -33.5 which the PH didn't cover as the score is 88-60, still a big lead. With that win, PH now has 99.9% to winning the Gold Medal.

2 games remaining for them, against Malaysia and Indonesia which should be no problem as they already beat those teams who beat these teams.

PH is really the Team USA in the SouthEast games in Basketball.

I think it's just around 2 days left remaining for the event. Just correct me if I'm wrong.

It's looks like the current medal tally rankings will be the final preview of the result at the end. The different result every year is good to see here in SEA Games since it means, no teams are consistently dominating the event.

Only on those specific sports, we will see dominance but in general, there's no such thing as consistent 1st place here.

[agustina2]

For today's game against Vietnam, the handicap is -33.5 @1.84, a very high handicap but I think it can be covered as basketball is not the sport that Vietnam does love.

Unfortunately, Vietnam got it covered as the PH won by 28 points.

Can't really trust that high spread when playing against the host country.

PH team just toys them that's why every play isn't serious at the end. It is called garbage time that's why Vietnam was able to cover the spread. It should be over 50 points lead if the PH remains serious until the final buzzer.

Curious if Vietnam will still be the leading country come the next SEA games in Cambodia. Sometimes the host has the advantage to take away a large haul of medals. The gap between the running 1st and 2nd is quite wide. So yes, more than likely, Vietnam will get the first spot in the finals considering only fews days are remaining.

[acroman08]

The latest medal tally update: Vietnam is still leading with 154 gold, Thailand with 62 gold. it looks like I was correct that the Philippines will be surpassed by Singapore and Indonesia. the Philippines currently sits at 5th place with 40 gold, Indonesia at 4th with 43 gold and Singapore at 3rd with 44 gold. there are still 3 remaining days before the SEA Games conclude. so the Rankings for the 3rd, 4th, and 5th place can still change in the last 3 days.

-snip

according to Wikipedia, the SEA Games will last until May 23 which probably includes the closing ceremony.

[worle1bm]

Actually, the country host is always on top in South East Asia based on what I remembered.

It's not always the case. For example, Singapore has hosted this event on more than one occasion but they never won. Host countries have the advantage because they're allowed to pick the sports they are strong at but topping the tournament still depends on  their athletes. The total number of delegates sent to participate also plays a big role to the results.

Right it's more dependent on how well trained the athletes are of the country taking part in particular game as host country don't have any big advantage if players are not well trained for the sports.So many countries are being represented by different players in various sports and they all have competitive spirit among them to win but only the most capable one of them will take the medal.

Crazy domination of Vietnam (although the number of gold medals compared to medals of other denominations looks suspicious). Can anyone explain what is causing this (other than Vietnam hosting these competitions)? As far as I remember, Vietnam does not show anything like this at the Olympics. I heard that this country is actively developing - maybe sporting achievements reflect this?

The competition in Olympics is far from South East Asian games obviously.

Here in SEA games, it's only limited, of course, to South East Asian countries. In terms of sports, no country here is the most dominant in the majority of sports. It's like countries here have different specialties for example PH is the most dominant in Basketball but if you looked at the medal tally, they are in 5th place. We are also dominant in Women's weightlifting but still, rankings don't change. That's because the competition here in SEA is close, different from the Olympics.

Being in a host country is really an advantage as it gives pumped to the athletes to do their best.
