More than 12,500 athletes are set to take part, with some 600 from China, which is hosting the games this year. Read more at straitstimes.com.
HANGZHOU - A record 12,527 athletes from across Asia will take part in the Asian Games in Hangzhou this year, the most in the competition’s history, organisers said on Thursday.
The previous Asian Games participation record was set in Palembang, Indonesia, in 2018, during the last Asiad, with some 11,300 taking part. But during a meeting of the OCA earlier this month, it was agreed that sports people from both countries can take part under a neutral flag, gaining points for international rankings to qualify for the Summer Olympics. They will not be allowed to win medals at the Asian Games.
“We are confident that we will deliver a uniquely Chinese, spectacularly Asian, Hangzhou Games,” said Asian Games official Zhu Qinan during a press briefing.
