ASIAN GAMES POSTPONED

The Executive Board of the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) has decided to postpone the 19th edition of the Asian Games, which were scheduled to be hosted by the Chinese city of Hangzhou from September 10-25.
The decision was made due to the worsening Covid-19 situation in the country.
The OCA indicated, through its official website, that the new dates for the Asian Games will be agreed between the concerned parties and announced at a later date.
The OCA also decided to cancel the Asian Youth Games, which were scheduled to be held in the Chinese city of Shantou from December 20-28, and that the next edition will be held in the Uzbek capital, Tashkent, in 2025.
