The Asian Games in Japan are set to close. The event has featured record-smashing displays from young athletes over a fortnight. However, it has also been marred by mix-ups, patchy crowds, and accusations of mismanagement, according to Al-Monitor.
The event was held from September 19 to October 4.
A separate event was held at Bayt Qatar, an initiative of the Qatar Olympic Committee, where the Supreme Committee for Delivery & Legacy showcased the legacy of its Qatar Volunteer Programme. The programme is expected to play a key role in delivering world-class experiences for future international events in Qatar.
