Asian Games 2018: From Kabaddi and Martial Arts to Odd-Even scheme, there is something for everybody

India TV News  

For size, the Asian Games are enormous. The games, which open Saturday and run through Sept. 2, also showcase sports climbing and skateboarding, two events being added to the schedule for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Despite its quirky qualities, the Asian Games are also a serious proving ground for powerful teams from China, Japan and South Korea, and a chance for smaller nations to win medals that are out of reach at the Olympics. Singapore, one of the smallest nations, has one of the biggest names in swimmer Joseph Schooling, an Olympic gold medalist who defeated Michael Phelps in the 100 butterfly two years ago in Rio de Janeiro. That reflects the size of the Asian Games, and Japan's push to win 30 gold medals in two years in Tokyo.
