4.5 billion Asian festivals! Compete for over 3000 medals in 36 events
Seo-gu, Incheon, South Korea
On September 19, the 17th Incheon Asian Games started with the opening ceremony of Incheon Asiad Main Stadium in Incheon, Korea. 45 Asian countries, including Korea, China, and Japan, compete for over 3000 medals in 36 sports (28 Olympics and 8 Olympics) including basketball, rugby, archery, weightlifting, swimming, canoeing and boxing. The event, which includes all members of the Asian Olympic Council (OCA), including North Korea, will be held for 16 days until October 4. The third Asian Games to be held in Korea is the third after Seoul in 1986 and Busan in 2002. As of 2014, only Thailand (4) and South Korea have hosted more than three Asian Games.
First of all, the soccer became fun until the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup. The final will take place at the Literature Stadium on October 2. In the soccer qualifiers held on September 21st, the Korean men's team beat Laos 2-0 and the women's team beat Maldives 13-0. Baseball, which started on the 22nd, won 15-0 against Thailand. The semi-finals and finals will take place on the 27th and 28th after the match against Hong Kong on the 24th. All take place at the Literary Baseball Stadium. Basketball is scheduled to play against Jordan at the Samsan World Gymnasium on the 25th. On the 28th, the quarter finals will be held at the Hwaseong Stadium.
Marine Boy Park Tae-hwan's swimming game is not to be missed. On the 21st, they won bronze medals in the men's freestyle 200m final and the men's freestyle 400m final on the 23rd. The freestyle 100m preliminaries are scheduled for 9 am on the 25th.
Traditional medallion archery. The Republic of Korea breathes on a single arrow that cuts off the target. Archery won eight gold medals, including the 2014 Incheon Asian Games and the newly added compound. In the men's group qualification round (compound) held on the 23rd, Choi Yong-hee (2nd) and Yang Young-ho (5th) played in the men's individual qualification round. The women's team also took first place in the Compound Women's Qualifying Round and Choi Bo-min (1st) and Seok Ji-hyun (2nd) in the individual qualification round. The game is played every day until the 28th.
Wait here! There are two types of archery: a recurve bow and a compound bow. All archery we have seen in the meantime is recurve. Compound archery hasn't been an Olympic or Asian competition. However, attention has been increasing as it was adopted as a regular sport since the Incheon Asian Games. What is the difference between the two? As the name implies, the bow structure is different. If the recurve is a traditional bow, the compound is a mechanical bow. The recurve is heavy and sensitive, so the player's concentration is important. Thinking of the archery field in the meantime makes it easier to understand. Compounds, on the other hand, are lighter and smaller than mechanical arrowhead recurve arrows that are easy to learn for beginners with pulleys and sights.
In the finals of the badminton men's team where the opposition hero Lee Yong-dae played on the 23rd, he added a gold medal. The men's and women's mixed singles and doubles games will be held until the 29th. In addition, medal competitions will be held in 36 events including judo, shooting, cycling, and land. As of September 24, 2014, South Korea is ranked second overall with 61 medals, including 20 gold, 19 silver and 22 bronze.
