Description
The 2026 Asian Games in Japan can "wipe away" public doubts over holding major sporting events, says Yasuhiro Nakamori, acting director-general of the 2026 Asian Games organising committee. Graft scandals from the Tokyo Olympics, which were delayed to 2021 because of Covid, have damaged public support for hosting major competitions in Japan.
"We want to wipe away that image by putting on an event that shows the athletes giving their best performance,” says Yasuhiro Nakamori. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
