2011 Southeast Asian Games

02 November 2011 - 05:12 PM

The Southeast Asian Games (better known as the SEA Games) will begin next week at the city of Palembang, Indonesia (although Jakarta will share the host at some events). So I opened a thread for those interested.

The official mascot for 2011 Southeast Asian games Indonesia is called Modo and Modi, a pair of Komodo dragon.[23] Modo is a male Komodo dragon wearing blue traditional Indonesian costume and batik sarong, while and Modi is female Komodo dragon wearing red kebaya also with batik sash. The mascot was adopted from Komodo dragon, an endemic Indonesian fauna native to Komodo, Rinca, and Padar islands in East Nusa Tenggara.

Most of the events will happen at the Jakabaring Sport City at Palembang

Ex-Olympic champion Mika Myllyla found dead

(AFP) – 7 hours ago
HELSINKI — Finnish cross-country skier Mika Myllyla, who won gold at the Nagano Olympics in 1998, was found dead at his home on Tuesday, police announced. He was 41.
"We do not believe that the death is linked to a crime. The cause of death will be investigated," said the Finnish police in a statement, adding that Myllyla was alone in his apartment in Kokkola.
Myllala was among the most celebrated skiers in Finland until his fall from grace in a doping scandal in 2001.
Three years earlier he won gold in the 30km cross-country in Nagano, where he also won two bronze medals. He had also collected a silver and two bronze medals in Lillehammer in 1994, giving him six Olympic medals.
In addition he won nine world championship medals including four golds; three of them at Ramsau in 1999 at 10km, 30km and 50km.
Myllala then tested positive in 2001 for hydroxyethl starch, a masking agent for the banned blood booster EPO.
In June this year he gave a sworn statement during a court case that he had indeed used EPO during the 1990s.
After serving a two-year ban, he attempted a comeback, twice winning the Finnish national championships but never figuring strongly again on the international scene. He retired in 2005.
