The 16th Asian Games will be held in Guangzhou, China from November 12 to 27, 2010. This Asian Games coincides with Guangzhou's cool and drier season of the year, so the climate should be more suitable. But sometimes people are not as good as God. For example, in this Doha Asian Games (Doha Asian Games news, Doha Asian Games talk), as of the end of the current Asian Games on December 15, Doha, which is in the desert, actually has 10 days Precipitation occurred above, with the total precipitation exceeding 150 mm.

Since 1969, the average annual precipitation in Doha has not exceeded 60 mm. Although for the Arab brothers, so much precipitation is a "blessing from heaven," it has caused trouble for everyone in the competition and the Asian Games. South Korean equestrian Kim Hyung-chil died accidentally after his horse slipped due to a slippery venue; many competitions were postponed due to heavy rain, which became a major failure of this Asian Games. If Guangzhou wants to host the Asian Games successfully, according to the Chinese, it must first take advantage of the weather and monitor the weather to prevent the tragedy of Kim Hyung-chil from happening again in Guangzhou. Guangzhou is capable of doing this.

When it comes to service, the only thing Guangzhou PK Doha can do is to keep improving and pay attention to details. Doha offers a huge benefit to reporters across Asia: it treats everyone to dinner for free. After arriving in Doha, the organizing committee issued a meal ticket to each reporter in Asia for one day. The reporters can use this meal ticket to have one meal per day at the press center during the Asian Games. The meal was worth 30 Qatari riyals, equivalent to 70 yuan, and the money was paid by the King of Doha. Moreover, food, water and fruit are provided at the press centers of each major venue.

In the desert area, let the veterans drink Coke and eat fruit every day, what else can you ask for? Therefore, even if Doha dissatisfies many people in some details, for these reasons, everyone will not care too much. However, Doha leaves all services to foreigners, such as chefs from the Philippines, cleaners from India and Pakistan, and bus dispatchers from the United States. In a word, they are paying foreigners to serve foreigners, so although these people provide services with smiles, they are all for the sake of money. And when people need information about local conditions, it is difficult for these service personnel to provide the most timely and accurate services. When reporters interviewed staff of the Guangzhou Asian Games Organizing Committee, they said that the reception standards in Doha, especially for journalists, have reached the standards of local five-star hotels. This cannot be done in Guangzhou, and the food provided by the news center will mainly be Cantonese cuisine, but there will not be as many varieties as Doha. All food at the Doha Asian Games is free, and I’m afraid it’s not possible for the Guangzhou Asian Games either. However, the author believes that as long as Guangzhou prepares enough taxis so that everyone can go wherever they want, unlike Doha where they don’t know where to go when they want to go out, everyone will have a good impression of Guangzhou.

However, in terms of the arrangement of the game schedule, Doha's arrangements are not very reasonable due to limited reception capacity and stadiums. Some hot events, such as badminton and basketball, were arranged too tightly. The Chinese badminton team lost three gold medals in women's singles, men's singles, and men's doubles in this Asian Games, causing head coach Li Yongbo to criticize the Doha Asian Games Organizing Committee for improper scheduling. Reasonable. Moreover, the badminton hall and basketball hall for this competition were too small. On the day of the badminton men's singles final, many Indonesian fans who had purchased venue passes were unable to enter the venue, which even caused conflicts between spectators, security guards and volunteers. On the last day of the Doha Asian Games, the host Qatar team played the men's basketball final against the Chinese team. The competition venue could only accommodate 2,000 people. As a result, many reporters were unable to get tickets to enter the venue on the day of the final and were unable to enter the venue for interviews. I believe that Guangzhou, which has experienced several National Games, should be able to solve these problems. But compared with Doha, the biggest problem facing Guangzhou in 2010 is how big the Chinese sports delegation can win for itself. After the 2008 Beijing Olympics, China's sports mechanism will undergo tremendous changes. It is difficult to say whether the Chinese Legion can maintain its current gold medal momentum. If the performance of the Chinese sports delegation seriously declines, there will be no Chinese audience to support them, and the deserted stadium may be the biggest embarrassment and difficulty that Guangzhou will encounter in hosting the Asian Games.

Information on the Asian Games

This is the first time that the mascots of the Asian Games appear in the cartoon shape of a pair of mascots. The male is named "Poppo" and the female is named "Coccu". Their shapes are lively and cute, and they are particularly special. Eye-catching and with multiple meanings. The white dove symbolizing peace serves as the endorsement of the Hiroshima Asian Games. It not only serves as a witness to the first atomic bomb attack on Hiroshima by the US military on August 6, 1945, but also symbolizes the peace and anti-war spirit promoted by Hiroshima.

The organizing committee hopes to use these two mascots to spread the seeds of peace and friendship and warmth.

The mascot of the 13th Bangkok Asian Games - Chaiyu

The mascot of the 13th Bangkok Asian Games is an elephant named "Chaiyu". "Chaiyu" is the most commonly used modal particle for Thais to express joy, happiness and celebrate victory. The elephant is wearing a yellow shirt and red sweatpants with the Asian Games logo "A" printed on the chest. "A" represents both "Asian" and "Athlete" and resembles the roof of a traditional Thai building.

The mascot of the 14th Busan Asian Games - DURIA

The mascot of the 14th Busan Asian Games is the city bird of the host city of Busan - a bird that spreads its wings and flies high seagull. The combination of thick and thin lines around the seagull exudes the charm of traditional Korean culture. At the same time, the combination of thick and thin lines also represents the enterprising spirit and lofty ideals of the people of various Asian countries heading into the new era. Visualize the seagull and portray its vitality and purity. The thick ink lines shaped like brushes symbolize the background of the event - Asian culture, while the free lines represent the appearance of Asian people. In addition, the use of blue color scheme is reminiscent of the host city, the port city of Busan.

The mascot of the 15th Doha Asian Games-Oli

The mascot’s nickname is “DURIA”, which means “DURATIVE+ASIA” It is a compound word that means "DURI", which is also the homophonic pronunciation of "DURI" in Korean for "I am with you". Therefore, it is consistent with the conference concept and the image of the mascot to "enhance the unity and friendship of all Asian countries participating in the conference and seek continuous development."

Al Qahtani, Director General of the Doha Asia Organizing Committee, said that the Qatari antelope symbolizes this young country and its young government. In a sense, "Oli" has become the link between Qatar and the Asian Games. At the ceremony held on the evening of the 31st, the organizing committee also launched the 700-day countdown to the opening of the Asian Games, launched the Asian Games anthem and the Asian Games torch. Doha won the right to host the 15th Asian Games in November 2000 after defeating Hong Kong, China, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and New Delhi, India.

The Asian Games, the full name of the Asian Games, is a regional large-scale comprehensive sports event recognized by the International Olympic Committee and hosted by the Asian Olympic Council (Olympic Council of Asia). It is not only the largest and highest-level comprehensive sports meeting in Asia, but also represents the level of sports in Asia as a whole. The predecessors of the Asian Games were the Far Eastern Games and the West Asian Games. It is held every 4 years, alternately with the Olympic Games, and lasts for 16 days. The 1st Asian Games was originally scheduled to be held in New Delhi, India, in February 1949. For some reasons, it was postponed to 1951 and was held for the 13th time in 2001.

Most of the Asian Games events are Olympic Games events, but they do not have strict regulations like the Olympic Games. In addition to some widely carried out sports, such as track and field, swimming, basketball, volleyball, football, etc., which must be included in each session, the host country can make appropriate selections based on its own conditions and sports skills.

In 1912, the "Far East Sports Association" was established through the initiative of American officers in the YMCAs of China, Japan, and the Philippines. In 1913, the first Far Eastern Games was held in Manila, Philippines. By 1934, the Far Eastern Games had been held for 10 times. Initially, it was held every 2 years. Later, it was held in conjunction with the Olympic Games, and was changed to one every four years from the 8th session in 1927. At the beginning, only China, Japan, and the Philippines participated. Since the ninth session, India, Indonesia, and Vietnam have also joined.

The Far Eastern Games consisted of seven events: track and field, swimming, football, basketball, baseball, tennis, and volleyball. At that time, it represented the highest level of competitive sports in Asia and contributed to the development of early sports in Asia. made a positive contribution. China has won nine Far Eastern Games football championships. In 1934, because Japan invaded China and insisted on including its so-called "Manchukuo" in the Far Eastern Games, China announced its withdrawal from the Far Eastern Games. After that, the Far Eastern Sports Association declared its disintegration due to China's withdrawal, and the Far Eastern Games also disappeared.

In 1934, with the financing of Indian sports leader Dr. Guru Sandy, the first West Asian Games was held in New Delhi. The participating countries were India, Ceylon (now Sri Lanka), Afghanistan and Pakistan. There are hockey, basketball, track and field and other projects. The Second West Asian Games, originally scheduled to be held in Pakistan four years later, was canceled due to the outbreak of World War II. After the end of the Second World War, the people of various Asian countries were eager to maintain a peaceful environment and promote unity, friendship and cultural exchanges among people of various countries and regions, and their desire to participate in international sports competitions was very urgent.

During the 14th Olympic Games in London in July 1948, sports people from China and the Philippines had frequent contacts, planning to resume the Far East Games, and invited Asian countries participating in the Olympics to discuss it. Guru Sandy, Indian member of the International Olympic Committee and Indian sports leader, believes that simply reviving the Far Eastern Games is not enough to reflect the sports level and spirit of unity across Asia, and advocates the creation of an intercontinental games that includes all Asian countries - the Asian Games. To this end, he visited the sports delegations from Asian countries that came to London to participate in the Olympic Games, and invited representatives from 13 countries and regions including China, South Korea, and the Philippines to hold the first preparatory meeting for the establishment of the Asian Games Federation. The meeting discussed and approved India's proposal for the establishment of the Asian Games Federation, and recommended the four governments of China, South Korea, India and the Philippines to jointly draft relevant documents and charters for the Asian Games. It was also decided at the meeting that the first Asian Games would be held in New Delhi, India, in February 1949. Later, due to domestic reasons in India, the games could not be held as scheduled.

On February 12-13, 1949, India invited representatives of national sports organizations from the Philippines, Myanmar, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Thailand and other countries to meet in New Delhi, the capital of India. At the meeting, the establishment of the "Asian Games Federation" was announced. Council" (renamed "Asian Olympic Council" after 1982), and formally adopted a charter drafted by China, India, the Philippines and South Korea. Representatives from India, Afghanistan, Myanmar, Pakistan and the Philippines who attended the meeting immediately signed to join the meeting and became basic members of the Asian Games Confederation. All delegates unanimously agreed to adopt "Ever onward" as the slogan of the Asian Games. The meeting elected Singh of India as chairman and Vergas of the Philippines as vice-chairman.

The meeting decided that the Asian Games, which will be held every four years, will be held between the two Olympic Games, and stipulated that the competition time will be 12-16 days and there will be 20 events. The host country can increase or decrease the events as appropriate, but generally there will be no less than 11 events, track and field, swimming and art exhibitions are required items and content. The meeting also decided that the 1st Asian Games would be held in New Delhi, India in 1950. Dr. Sandy of India is known as the "Father of the Asian Games" as the main sponsor of the Asian Games.

The Asian Games Federation is basically modeled after the International Olympic Committee. The International Olympic Committee recognizes the Asian Games as an official sports event in Asia. The mission of the Asian Games Federation is to hold the Asian Games and Winter Asian Games as scheduled. The Asian Games Federation was reorganized into the Olympic Council of Asia (referred to as the Olympic Council of Asia) during the 9th Asian Games in 1982.
