Bowling is a sport.. It owns cricket anyway.
I agree during the year 2006 cricket was not a sport but Bowling has never been a sport.
Bowling was always a sport you nerd.

I'd say it was due to their former status as a Soviet Socialist Republic.

Also sad news today at the Games:
Equestrian athlete Kim Hyung Chil of Korea has died after falling from his horse during the individual cross country competition this morning, Thursday 7 December.
Father-of-two Kim, 47, from Seoul, was crushed under his mount Bundaberg Black while attempting the eighth fence at Sports City Temporary Venue in Doha.
The horse is under observation and there are no visible injuries. Kim was the oldest among the Korea equestrian team and won silver in the team competition at the 2002 Asian Games in Busan.
Doha Asian Games Organising Committee (DAGOC) announced the news at an official press conference attended by Chung Hyun Sook, Chef de Mission of Korea.
“On behalf of the Doha Asian Games Organising Committee, I send my deepest sympathies on the sad loss of Kim Hyung Chil,” said Ahmed Abdulla Al Khulaifi, DAGOC’s Deputy Director General of Corporate Support.
“The competition has lost a noble and an able rider. Our prayers and thoughts are with the family of the deceased, the whole South Korean team participating in Doha 2006 and the people of the nation. May God grant him eternal rest and the family great strength in their hour of distress,” Mr Al Khulaifi added.
The competition resumed after two-and-a-half hours, following approval by the technical delegate, who inspected the course and the fence following the tragic accident. The technical delegate had cleared the competition in the morning, following which the event commenced.
Dr Abdulwahab Almusleh, Head of DAGOC’s Medical Committee, said the rider was crushed by his horse Bundaberg Black after falling while clearing the 1.5m-high fence.
“The medics who rushed to the spot immediately resuscitated him [but] found the rider to be pulse-less. The resuscitation continued en route to the hospital before he was pronounced dead at 10:15am.
“Our deepest sympathies go toward the family, friends and the South Korean team participating in Doha 2006.”
Hussain Al Musallam, Director General of the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA), also expressed deep regrets for the tragic loss of the rider.
“I am shocked at the death of this well-known athlete. The OCA and the family of NOCs [National Olympic Committees] extend our sympathies to the family and friends of the deceased sportsman.”
Christopher Hodson, Vice-President of the International Equestrian Federation who also addressed the media during the press conference said a mandatory investigation had begun into the incident. “We are deeply distressed at this incident and send our condolences to the family and the nation,” he said.
A one minute silence was observed across all venues and DAGOC has suspended cultural activities in the Athletes’ Village.

thanks.
thought they usually do well in basketball and sometimes in the baseball.
and boxing, if it's part of these games.
Singapore definitely doing well as Simon Chua cruises to a gold medal, opponents really far behind.
He got 15 points, the perfect score, as compared to the silver medallist, who got 43 points.

Also World Champ in Bowling.
Singapore has since won 7 & a possible 8th & might finish in the Top 12 - a very good result as only one gold came from a 'foreign talent' ( Tao Li ) and then again she cannot be really considered as such since I suspect her mom was already a citizen.
Hong Kong are above Singapore...
Cal? said:Hong Kong are above Singapore...
Unless Hong Kong goes on to win 2 or more golds by the Games' end, Singapore will finish above Hong Kong as the present Medal Tally Table excludes 2 assured golds by Singapore which have not been reflected yet as they have not been handed out.
Thailand > Singapore + Hong Kong
