20th Asian Games Aichi-Nagoya 2026​

The Asian Games are officially underway in Aichi-Nagoya, Japan, on Saturday and the numbers alone tell part of the story: this is a sporting event that is bigger than the Paris Olympics in athlete participation, while also offering a programme that looks markedly different from the world's biggest multi-sport spectacle.
More than 11,000 athletes are expected to compete at the 20th Asian Games, compared with about 10,700 at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

This is the worst Asian Games ever. Even the Indians are complaining about the organizations and facilities. To cut costs, "Organizers of 2026 Asian Games in Nagoya and Aichi, Japan, are housing thousands of athletes in temporary wooden container units and an Italian cruise ship instead of a traditional dedicated athletes' village. [1, 2]." What Japan has became lately ? A poor third world country as witnessed in the joke 2021 Tokyo Olympics and this Nagoya and Aichi Asian Games ?
