ASIAN GAMES 2010

ASIAN GAMES 2010 The 2010 Asian Games, also known as the XVI Asiad, was a multi-sport event in Guangzhou, China that began on 12 November and finished on 27 November 2010. Guangzhou was the second Chinese city to host the Games, after Beijing in 1990. A total of 476 events in 42 sports was contested by athletes, making it the largest event in the history of the Games.

ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT Like the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, Guangzhou also attempted to raise the air quality of the city. The authority had pledged ￥600 million to fight the problem, and had ordered around 32 chemical plants to stop production by the end of 2009. A report shown on July 13, 2010 indicated that the air quality was rated at 95.07% in 2009, an increase of 12.01% since 2004; this improvement eventually cost authorities ￥24 billion.

BID On July 1, 2004, Guangzhou was awarded the right to host the Games; the decision was announced in Doha, Qatar. This decision came after several other cities withdrew due to separate reasons. Seoul withdrew after considering the short span of time between 2002 and 2010, because South Korea hosted the 2002 Games eight years before in Bussan. Kuala Lumpur was forced to withdraw its bid after it was boycotted by the cabinet due to the high cost of hosting the Games, leaving Guangzhou as the sole bidder.

MASCOT “Le Yangyang” are the mascots for the 2010 Asian Games in Guangzhou. They are named A Xiang, A He, A Ru, A Yi and Le Yang Yang.  Together, their names phonetically (Xiang He Ru Yi Le Yangyang) mean peace, harmony, and great happiness.  It is meant as a symbol of Guangzhou people’s hope that the Asian Games will bring luck, harmony, joy, success, and great happiness.
