The XVI Asiad will be held in Guangzhou, China from November 12, 2010 to November 27, 2010. Guangzhou will be the second city in China to host the games after Beijing in 1990. 41 events are scheduled to be contested, making the most events to be ever competed in history of the Asian Games.
Symbol of Asian games
Five sporty goats, dubbed “Le Yangyang,” will serve as the mascots of the 2010 Asian Games in Guangzhou. The five goats, A Xiang, A He, A Ru, A Yi and Le Yangyang, are a play on Guangzhou’s nickname, “City of Goats,”. This is a stylized form of a ram/goat which in Chinese traditions is a blessed animal which can bring good luck to the people. It’s also a representation of the host city – Guangzhou is called the “City of the Rams” or “City of the Five-rams”. The mascot design came from a legend about five immortals who took five goats to Guangzhou, each holding an ear of corn in its mouth. There, the immortals prayed for an end to famine, then flew into the sky as the five goats turned into fossils.
Sports in 2010 games
Officially there are 42 sports, among them 28 are featured in Olympic Games while the rest added as unique to the Asian Games. Cricket, DanceSport, Dragon Boat, and Weiqi will debut in this games,while Bodybuilding dropped because of the judging controversy during 2006 Asian Games.
Cricket a new entry in asian games
The 16th Asian Games in Guangzhou, China will feature cricket for the first time. The proposal to include cricket was approved at the Olympic Council of Asia’s General Assembly in Kuwait recently. The four Asian Test nations have committed to sending their best available teams, though as all but Bangladesh have home series scheduled at the time the event takes place, the strength of those teams may not be full strength. Cricket has featured in multi-sports events before. The South Pacific games has had cricket as a discipline for a number of years, and will do so again this year, but this is the highest profile such event since the 1998 Commonwealth Games.
