Asian Games knowledge

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 the Doha Asian Games (Doha Asian Games news, let’s talk about the Doha Asian Games), as of the end of the 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.

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 people all over Asia, that is, 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. The mascot of the Guangzhou Asian Games is named Leyangyang, with a set of five species, the largest number of mascots in all previous Asian Games. The image is of five sporty and fashionable sheep, named "Axiang", "Ahe", "Aru", "Ayi" and "Leyangyang" respectively, forming "Xianhe Ruyi Leyangyang", expressing the Guangzhou Asian Games It will bring good wishes of "good luck, harmony, happiness, perfection and joy" to the people of Asia, and also convey the concept of "harmony and passion" of this Games.

“Axiang” is a handsome, sincere and brave lamb. It is colored blue among the five Olympic rings, symbolizing the flowing Pearl River and representing the peaceful and friendly character and broad and tolerant spirit of Guangzhou people. mind.

"Aru" is a beautiful, fashionable, intelligent and enthusiastic lamb, colored in the red of the five Olympic rings, symbolizing Kapok, the city flower of Guangzhou.

"Leyangyang" is a tall, handsome, sunny and confident big sheep. It is colored yellow among the five Olympic rings, symbolizing the host city "Suicheng" (the color of rice ears), with good harvest and joy. It means that the successful hosting of the Asian Games will be a precious spiritual wealth for the Asian people.

"Ayi" is a cute, lively and cheerful lamb, colored in the green of the five Olympic rings. The vibrant green gives her an elegant and agile temperament, symbolizing Baiyun Mountain.

"Ahe" is a simple, humble, calm and determined lamb, colored in the black of the five Olympic rings, symbolizing the long history of Lingnan culture and the profound historical and cultural accumulation of the thousand-year-old ancient city.

Perhaps, many people think that the mascot has a "sheep" theme. After all, the city of Guangzhou is also known as the "Sheep City", but what people don't expect is that the mascot always has Five fashionable, dynamic and cute lambs. There are five types of mascots in the set, which is the largest number of mascots for the Asian Games. Guangzhou has new ideas for mascots for the Asian Games!
