Typhoon Kammuri forces Southeast Asian Games organisers in the Philippines to reschedule nearly half of their events
Debris can be seen at a passenger terminal after one of its walls was destroyed in Legaspi City, Albay province in the south of Manila on December 3, 2019.
However, roughly 17 other competitions — primarily indoor ones — were supposed to go ahead as planned, a statement from the organisers said. The storm's potent gusts also forced officials to close Manila's international airport as a precaution, which will delay several basketball teams for the 5 x 5 competition that starts on Wednesday.
Several sports were postponed at one of the main SEA Games clusters in Subic, including beach volleyball, canoe and kayaking, muay, pencak silat, sailing, windsurfing, modern pentathlon, surfing and sepak takraw.
