Which country initiated the Asian Indoor Games?

In order to further promote the Olympic spirit and expose the Asian people to more sports beneficial to the body and mind, the idea of hosting the Asian Indoor Games was put forward by the OCA in 21, and was unanimously adopted by all members at the 21st OCA General Assembly held in Busan on October 3, 22. In order to make the development of sports events more diversified, the Asian Indoor Games focuses on non-Olympic and non-Asian Games indoor events, focusing on the sports events with ornamental, high participation and fashion. It is a comprehensive sports meeting with leisure and entertainment, which not only helps to strengthen sports exchanges and development in Asia, but also encourages more Asian young people to actively participate in various sports and exercise.

in order to make good use of a series of sports facilities built and repaired by Macao in the 4th East Asian Games in 25, the SAR Government continued to promote the development of tourism and sports in Macao with large-scale sports events, and further enhanced Macao's international image. On August 9, 22, after detailed deliberation between the Macao Olympic Committee and the government sports department, it decided to apply to the Olympic Council of Asia for hosting the Asian Indoor Games. Later, at the 22nd OCA General Meeting held in Kuwait on January 24th, 23, Macao was unanimously approved by all members, and successfully won the right to host the 2nd Asian Indoor Games in 27, and officially signed a contract to become the host city on August 2th of the same year.

Emblem of the 2nd Asian Indoor Games (see photo)

The hanging sun is taken from the emblem of the Olympic Council of Asia, which represents the important role of the Olympic Council in the development of sports in Asia and its cohesive strength, and also symbolizes the enthusiasm, charm and unity of the Asian people. The concept of the design next to the sun comes from two Chinese characters, and two yellow lines form the word "human", showing the people-oriented spirit. The two stripes in blue constitute the word "two", which brings out the message of "the second session". The green two vertical trees represent two thriving trees, highlighting the host city's commitment to environmental protection, and at the same time, it has the meaning of healthy development of Asian sports. The last six simple lines outline the image of "indoor" under the eaves tiles, and also extend the meaning of "foundation". As a whole, the emblem shows Macao's vibrant and multicultural characteristics, and it is enough to establish a solid foundation for the future of the Asian Indoor Games.

Meimei, the mascot of the 2nd Asian Indoor Games

The idea of Meimei comes from the black-faced spoonbill, a wild migratory bird that lives in Macao every year, which is representative in Macao. "Beauty" soars in the sky, symbolizing the spirit of Macao sports to explore new ways and innovate constantly. At the same time, it also shows the young, free and innovative power of the Asian Indoor Games. Taking migratory birds as mascots not only shows the vitality of flying high, but also has the meaning of "beauty" leading Macao citizens to participate in the second Asian Indoor Games in 27.

Each dance has its own characteristics and a lively rhythm. Athletes need to cross the center line and dance counterclockwise.

6. * Dragon and Lion Movement *

Lion dancing is divided into two major factions: Southern Lion and Northern Lion. The appearance of the northern lion is very similar to that of a real lion, and the whole body is covered with golden hair. The red or green bow on the head is used to identify whether the lion is male or female. The appearance of the Southern Lion is brave and strong, and dancers wearing big head Buddha masks will lead it how to dance in front. In terms of dance steps, the northern lion pays more attention to jumping, while the southern lion pays attention to dancing on the flat ground. In dragon dance, athletes need to dance the dragon body to show the power of the dragon, and at the same time, it also marks auspiciousness, joy and happiness.

7. * E-sports *

E-sports, as its name implies, is a sports competition through electronic instruments. E-sports, like common sports, pay attention to fairness and competitiveness, but it pays great attention to the use of strategies in addition to physical struggle. We can regard e-sports as a chess game that needs quick response. Although e-sports is different from traditional sports on the surface, its core sports spirit is the same.

12. * Indoor track and field *

Track and field is one of the most popular sports in the world, usually held outdoors or indoors. Because the size of indoor track and field venue is different from that of outdoor venue, the length of indoor track and field track circle is 2 meters. However, because it is held indoors, the visibility is relatively improved.

13. * Indoor cycling *

Indoor cycling includes two completely different styles, namely fancy cycling and cycling ball. Fancy cycling is simply performing gymnastics on a bicycle; Cycling is stepping on a bicycle to play games like indoor hockey or football. As the sport is played indoors, it will not be affected by the weather. Indoor cycling requires athletes to be highly focused, balanced and courageous at all times.

14. * Indoor hockey *

Indoor hockey is transformed from outdoor hockey. Because the field of indoor hockey is relatively narrow, players are required to have very good ball control skills. In the game, you can only pass the ball by pushing the ball, not swinging or picking the ball. In addition to shooting, hockey can only run on the ground. Athletes need superb skills to push, pass and dribble. Indoor hockey is a sport recognized by the International Hockey Federation.

15. * Cabadie *

Cabadie originated in South Asia and is also very popular in Southeast Asia. It is a folk sport for young men in India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. Cabadie is played on a flat ground, without any auxiliary equipment. The competition is divided into two teams, each with 7 players. The competition time for men is 2 minutes in the first half and 2 minutes in the second half.

During the competition, athletes need to hold their breath for a long time to chase. The field is divided into two halves with the middle line as the boundary, and an "interception line" is set in each half. During the match, each team stands in its own half, and an attacking player needs to cross the center line and enter the other team's field, shouting "Cabadie" continuously, and touching the defender with any part of his body after passing the interception line. The victim will play and the attacker will score a point. But at the same time, if the attacker doesn't shout when chasing or is caught by the defender before crossing the interception line, he will also be sent off and the attacker will lose one point. If the attacker doesn't touch any defenders, and he doesn't leave the field or get caught, he can run back to his own field and make a peace argument, so that the other side can attack. The game is played by two sides sending an attacker in turn, and the one with the highest score wins. This sport requires agility, good vital capacity, muscle coordination and quick reflexes.

16. * Muay Thai *

Muay Thai has been popular in Thailand for hundreds of years and is called Thai Wushu by Thai people. Muay Thai allows both sides to use any part of the body such as elbow, knee, foot or fist to attack and defend. This kind of competition rules that allow athletes to hand-to-hand combat makes Muay Thai different from other fighting sports of the same type. In addition, because Muay Thai athletes only wear shorts to compete, it is also particularly popular with male athletes.

17. * Short-course swimming (25m) *

Swimming competitions are mainly divided into standard pool and 25m short-course swimming competitions, both of which can be held indoors. The 25-meter short-course swimming competition can be divided into various events according to different swimming styles. Although the 25-meter short-course swimming competition has its special facilities, the standard swimming pool can also be used as the 25-meter short-course swimming competition.

18. * Free Boxing (demonstration project) *

Free Boxing originated in the United States in the 197s and was introduced to Europe through the World All-Styles Karate Organization established in Germany in 75-76. In 1978, Berlin held the first world championship of this sport. Later, in order to avoid being confused with the traditional karate, in 198, the organization officially changed the name of the competition to Kickboxing, and in response to the change of the name of the sports, the name of the sports organization was officially changed to WAKO. Since 26, the World Federation of Free Fighting Organizations has become an accredited member of the Federation of International Individual Sports Federations, and it is also a member of the World Anti-Doping Agency. The free fighting events sponsored by the World Free Fighting Organizations are generally called WAKO Free Fighting. Up to now, WAKO Free Fight has seven competitive fighting forms, including semi-contact fighting, full contact fighting, low kick, K1 rule, Musical Forms and Aero-Kickboxing.

The World Free Boxing Association cooperates with the Asian Free Boxing Federation, which is coordinated with its Asian branch, to carry out free WAKO free fighting activities in Asia. The Asian Boxing Federation was established in Bishkek, the capital of Kyrgyzstan, as early as December 19th, 1996. Today, millions of supporters around the world are participating in the practice of free fighting, and I believe this project will continue to develop at a steady pace in the future.

However, the World Federation of Free Fighting Organizations and the Asian Free Fighting Federation only set up three events in the 2nd Asian Indoor Games in Macau in 27: semi-contact fighting, full contact fighting and low kick.

19. * Kjitsu (demonstration project) *

Kjitsu is a traditional wrestling sport that began in Uzbekistan 3,5 years ago. "Kurash" is translated into capture or wrestling in Uzbek, which is widely welcomed and valued in Central Asia, especially in Uzbekistan. During the competition, players (one wearing a green robe and the other wearing a blue robe) must let the other side fall to the ground. If the other side falls to the ground with his back, he will immediately declare victory. If he hits the other side to the ground with technology, he will get points. If the other side only falls on the abdomen, buttocks or slightly, the score will be relatively reduced, and one of them falls to the ground with his knees or falls out of the competition area, the judge has the right to announce a pause and signal the players to return to the preparation line in the competition area to get out of the new competition. Players can't pull each other's pants, but they can hold them freely. Kejiu jitsu is very particular about balance and fast footwork, so athletes may also participate in judo and Russian Sambo martial arts while practicing Kejiu jitsu.
