Asian Games set for liftoff but will everyone have a bed?
With the number of participants exceeding Olympic levels, organisers scrambled to find accommodation after initially expecting 15,000 athletes.
Nagoya, Japan will host the 20th Asian Games from October 1st to 4th, 2023. The event, which features more participants than the Olympics, aims to showcase the continent's top athletes in 40 sports. A significant number of athletes and officials will stay on the Italian cruise ship Costa Serena, a ship typically housing 571 cabins.
However, South Korean officials have criticized the facilities, calling them the "worst" in Asian Games history. Organizers remain confident that everyone will have a bed despite the unusual accommodations, and they are optimistic that the typhoon season will not disrupt the festivities.
