India put Asian Games athletes in the box ahead of Japan
BENGALURU: India are preparing for this month’s Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games by constructing replicas of the shipping container-style living units that will house thousands of athletes at the event.
Bengaluru: In preparation for the upcoming Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games, India is constructing replicas of shipping container-style living units intended to house thousands of athletes competing in the event. Over 17,000 athletes and officials have registered for the Games, scheduled from September 19th to October 4th. Rather than a conventional athletes' village, organizers will accommodate competitors in hotels, a cruise ship, and temporary wooden container-style accommodations.
Vishnu Sudhakaran, regional director of the Sports Authority of India, stated that the organizers aim to familiarize the athletes with the system, regardless of the facilities available in Japan. At the SAI's Bengaluru campus, staff have built two fully air-conditioned container-style units, each measuring 40-feet in length and 10-feet in width.
These units feature two small twin bedrooms, two bathrooms, a compact kitchen, and a living area equipped with a TV and music system. Sudhakaran added that these boxes will serve as additional guest rooms following the Asian Games.
