Last week, Yap hosted the Yap Palau Games. Unfortunately, I wasn't in Yap for that, but according to friends the Games was a fun experience for our Palauan siblings and a learning one for the Yapese.
However, members of the Yap Sports Council were not impressed by the disorganized and lackluster hosting of the Sports Office and organizing committees. One particular member of the Yap Volleyball Federation has finally spoken out against Yap hosting the MicroGames next year.
Renovations at the Yap Sports Complex is still ongoing, with issues already observed. Other venues are questionable. The 9MGOC is still debating how to house and feed athletes and officials. A majority of Yapese and Micronesians are still in the dark as to what's happening.
If the Yapese are going to pull another last-minute dash for organization, now is a very good time to start, however belated it is.
