Coming, ready or not: thousands pour in for Asian Games

The Hindu  

Thousands of athletes are flying in as Indonesia makes final preparations to host the Asian Games -- the world's second biggest multi-sports event, taking place against a backdrop of terrorism fears, environmental concerns and logistical headaches. In Palembang, fans angered by a football result ripped up seats at an Asian Games stadium last month, and Indonesia's first light rapid transit railway has suffered a series of malfunctions in the countdown to the start of competition. Indonesia's track record is not encouraging: the 2011 Southeast Asian Games in Jakarta and Palembang were plagued by corruption and delays, while two people died in a stadium stampede at the football final. “Even if we have problems we will solve them right there, right then.” Among the bigger names, Tottenham Hotspur forward Son Heung-min looks set to light up the football competition for South Korea, while Chinese Olympic champion Sun Yang will go for multiple golds in the swimming pool.
