Pinoy Sports Updates

I don't really get this stat. Podium efficiency should be based on the Number of Events competed not on the number of athletes.

For example, if we get a medal in a team sports with 20 athletes, so the podium efficiency is 5%? It doesn't make sense. Lol.

In the case of Vietnam, it only looks like they have small number of athletes because they don't compete in team sports like Cricket, Field Hockey, Floorball, Ice Hockey, Indoor Hockey, Kabaddi, Netball, Rugby, Softball, and Water Polo.

SEA Games 2025: A different look at the data?

Medal tallies in sport typically rank by gold medals. Rarely considered are silvers and bronzes, or important factors such as the number of athletes each country sends.

As SEA Games 2025 comes to a close, we thought we’d try a different way of looking at the medal data. Introducing Podium Efficiency, which shows - by participating country - the number of podium finishes as a percentage of the total number of athletes competing.

Three general tiers emerge: the 30-somethings (🇻🇳🇮🇩🇹), the 20-somethings (🇹🇭🇵🇭🇸🇬🇲🇾), and the rest (🇧🇳🇹🇱🇱🇦🇲🇲). Interestingly, not a whole lot separates those in the top half of the table.

A different reflection of where each country is at and what it can aspire toward, perhaps? (Of course, this still doesn’t account for differences across sports - individual vs team, single event vs multiple events, etc.)

Just a fun exercise to get us thinking... don’t take it too seriously ya 🤭

Humanda kayo sa Malaysia 🇲🇾 2027. Sigurado bawas ang events o kaya walang Boxing, Baseball/Softball, Jujitsu, Duathlon/Pentathlon/Triathlon, Weightlifting, Skateboarding, Kickboxing, Practical Shooting, Chess, Wrestling, Fencing, Canoeing, etc. Remember ang worst performance natin sa SEA Games ay noong 2017 sa Malaysia 🇲🇾 with just 23 golds 🥇. 6th place is waving again 😅.

Pinoy siguro nag-edit ng 2025 SEA Games Boxing Medal Table sa Wikipedia 🤣

My biggest disappointment sa SEA Games ay yung Archery🏹 team natin. First time natin walang medal sa Archery 🏹 since its inclusion in 1977. I expected them to deliver lalo na at meron silang Olympic Champion na coach which is Ryu Su Jeng 🇰🇷. Most of them did not even reach quarterfinals sa singles event . 😞 Isama mo na din ang golf, dragon boat, and women's indoor volleyball.

Well I'm not sad at all sa 6th place finish natin with just 50 gold medals. Isipin niyo na lang kung walang restrictions sa gymnastics + included parin ang dancesport at pool events sa billiards nasa 4th place padin tayo. 😄

Kamusta ang SEA Games guys? Any thoughts? 😁.

JUJITSU 🥋:

We currently have 2 gold🥇medal matches in Jujitsu. Xavier Baluyo in Men's 69 kg and Dean Michael Roxas in Men's 85 kg.

Others are still in semis. Way to go!

TAEKWONDO 🥋:

Congratulations to our 3x and reigning SEA Games Champion Olympian KURT BRYAN BARBOSA 🇵🇭 for winning his thrilling Quartefinal match against hometown bet Wisawakorn Jaichoo 🇹🇭.

He is now assured of at least bronze 🥉.
