South Korea Olympic boss gives Asian Games organisers an 'F'
NAGOYA: The head of the South Korean Olympic committee on Thursday blasted organisers of the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games, saying he would give them a failing mark for operational issues at the multi-sport event.
Seoul's Olympic committee chairman harshly criticized Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games organizers, giving them a failing grade for operational shortcomings at the multi-sport event, according to South Korean media. Accommodation and transportation issues impacted South Korean athletes, and Ryu Seung-min told local reporters he believed other nations shared these concerns.
Ryu, an Olympic table tennis champion, stated that the games fell short compared to other Asian Games and international events he had experienced. South Korean officials moved their men's basketball team into hotels due to beds being too small in the provided wooden containers. The Aichi-Nagoya organising committee and the Olympic Council of Asia have yet to comment on Ryu's harsh evaluation.
