DC Edit | Asian Games: India puts sport above politics

Deccan Chronicle  

There was every evidence that China is the superpower dominating the Asian continent as it unfurled its capabilities in hosting another spectacular sports event with dazzling lights, cutting-edge technology and breathtaking synchronisation. Remarkably, its President and supremo Xi Jinping did not add word power to the dazzling lights of the Asian Games Opening Ceremony, being content simply to formally declare the Games open. The crowd at the Hangzhou inaugural reflected their ‘controlled’ national preferences as the Chinese reserved the second biggest rounds of applause after the home team for countries beholden to the mighty Chinese system — Macau, Hong Kong, North Korea and, of course, Taiwan, on whose territory China has set its eyes, and for Pakistan too. But it is the rising prowess of India’s sportspeople and a billion-plus people’s emotional connection with medal winning champions beyond the cricket fields that makes the Asiad a golden opportunity for many, especially track and field athletes, wrestlers, boxers and shooters, not to forget the men’s hockey team, of whom a lot is always expected, besides the chess and badminton squads.
