Do you know about the ‘Asian Games’? These games have been played since 1954’s Manila Asian games. We joined these games in 1954, too. It is the largest event in Asia. Every asian joins here together. The events of the games are golf, basket ball, cycling, shooting, baseball, swimming, gymnastics, taekwondo, judo etc. Many athletes join this event. About 10 thousand athletes join. So, the host countries always care about their safety.

The opening ceremony of the game shows how much the host country cares about the game. So, the host country thinks about it very much. And the torch is a very important thing too. The torch must burn from the start to the end of the game. Sadly, the Incheon Asian game’s torch went out for 10 minutes one time. We must take care the torch to never make sure that never happens again.

Incheon Asian Games started on 2014.9.19. This event will finish on 2014.10.4. At that time, you can watch many competitions. The motto of the game is ‘Diversity shines here’ It means no racial discrimination. 10 thousand athletes will play 36 kinds of athletic sports with no discrimination.

This is third asian games in Korea. And it is the 16th Asian game in total, but we don’t have any record that we got 1st place! I wish that this time, Korea will take 1st place.
