This year’s Asian Games is set to be the largest edition ever with athletes from 45 countries and regions.
HANGZHOU: China launched the torch relay for its Covid-delayed Asian Games on Friday with thousands of people lining the streets of the host city Hangzhou.
A pair of top officials then ignited the sleek metal torch before a succession of national luminaries paraded it through the streets. Hangzhou had been due to hold the Games in September last year but they were postponed because of China’s strict zero-Covid rules, which have since been abandoned. Participants on Friday – all clad in white tracksuits with red trim – included former swimming world champion Luo Xuejuan and Daniel Zhang, CEO of Hangzhou-based tech giant Alibaba.“I hope the Asian Games will be held smoothly and we have more of these kinds of activities in the future,” she told AFP.
