On April 8, the Hangzhou Asian Games Organizing Committee announced the project setting and holding time of the 19th Asian Games in 2022. So when will the Hangzhou Asian Games be held? What are the competition items determined at present? Do you have holidays during the Asian Games? Let's have a look with Xiaobian~
When is the Hangzhou Asian Games held
The Hangzhou Asian Games will be held from September 10 to 25, 2022.
Competition items that have been determined at present
At present, the number of major events has been increased to 37, including 28 Olympic events and 9 non Olympic events.
The 28 Olympic events are: swimming, archery, track and field, badminton, basketball, boxing, canoeing, cycling, equestrian, fencing, football, golf, gymnastics, handball, hockey, judo, modern pentathlon, rowing, rugby sevens, sailing, shooting, table tennis, taekwondo, tennis, triathlon, volleyball, weightlifting and wrestling;
There are 9 non Olympic events, including martial arts, rattan ball, jujitsu, jujitsu, cricket, chess, roller skating, kabaddi and squash.
Compared with the 34 Hangzhou Asian Games initially determined at the 36th Asian Olympic Council plenary meeting held in September 2017, the 37 major events announced this time have added equestrian events in the Olympic Games, dragon boat, a non Olympic event, as a sub item of canoeing in the Olympic Games, and three new non Olympic events, including jujitsu, jujitsu and cricket.
Next, according to the new events (hip-hop, competitive rock climbing, surfing and skateboarding) proposed by the Paris Olympic Organizing Committee on February 21, and the competition events proposed by the Asian Olympic Council at the first meeting of the Coordination Committee of the Hangzhou Asian Games, the Hangzhou Asian organizing committee will discuss with the Asian Olympic Council and the Chinese Olympic Committee on the setting of follow-up events according to the project attributes and setting principles.
Will Hangzhou have a holiday during the 2022 Asian Games
During the Asian Games in Hangzhou, can ordinary citizens rest for a few more days in the largest comprehensive sports event ever held in Hangzhou, and watch and cheer on at the stadium?
At this moment, because there are still three and a half years to go before the Asian Games, we can not get authoritative answers from Hangzhou Asian organizing committee.
However, with reference to the previous Asian Games and Olympic Games, especially in recent years, it is customary for the host city to have a moderate holiday during the event. The public can now think about how to arrange time to watch the fierce competition?
In August 2018, the days before and after the opening of the Asian Games in Jakarta, Jakarta is basically on holiday, which ensures that the traffic pressure in Jakarta, known as "blocking the city", can be relieved. With the approval of the State Council, Beijing Olympic Games in 2008 and Guangzhou Asian Games in November 2010 have one day and three days off respectively. With the help of the extra holidays, the people in the host city can experience the splendor and joy of the event.
