The 2010 Guangzhou Asian Games is the 16th Asian Games. The competition will be held in Guangzhou, China from November 12 to November 27, 2010.
Guangzhou is the second city in China to win the right to host the Asian Games after BJ.
There are a total of 46 competition events in this competition, including 26 Olympic events and 16 non-Olympic events.
Speaking of which, Guangzhou was quite lucky when it applied to host the Asian Games.
Initially, a total of four cities participated in the election: Seoul, South Korea, Amman, Jordan, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and Guangzhou.
But before the final application process starts on July 1, 2004.
The Korean Olympic Committee sent a letter to the Asian Olympic Committee, canceling the application plan because the 14th Asian Games in 2002 had been held in Busan, South Korea.
On April 14, 2004, the new Malaysian government came to power. When the cabinet met to discuss Kuala Lumpur's bid to host the 16th Asian Games, the parliament rejected the previous government's plan. The reason was that the cost of hosting the Asian Games was too high and the government should
The main focus is on domestic economic construction.
Jordan's reasons are similar to those of South Korea. On March 31, 2004, when the bid city meeting was held at the White Sun Palace in Kuwait, Amman, Jordan, gave up its bid because Jordan considered that the 15th Asian Games would be held in the Arab country Qatar.
Doha held and therefore abandoned this plan.
In the end, only one city, Guangzhou, applied, so naturally there were no competitors, so they successfully obtained the qualification.
In fact, in the final analysis, it is still due to national strength and money. China has a vast land and abundant resources, and the BJ Olympics is not enough to meet the Chinese people's expectations for increasing international influence. That's why cities like Guangzhou are eager to host this type of international events.

"I said, are you not bullying others by participating in the Asian Games? It will not increase your popularity. You should compete with Bolt Powell and others."
In the dormitory of the Asian Games athletes, Su Feng was chatting with Qian Mengli, and the conversation naturally turned to the game.
Su Feng's winter training plan was affected again in order to participate in the Asian Games this time.
Moreover, every year when Su Feng trains in the winter, he is held in remote Chenggong, there are no games, and very few media will pay special attention to him.
This is also the time when the two are dating now. Since the year before last, Qian Mengli has adjusted his work plan. During Su Feng’s winter training, he would turn down any job he could. He lived near Su Feng, and the two would meet every day.
Have time together.
Last year and this year were not the same. Both times, Su Feng's winter training was affected by the competition, so the time the two got together was naturally shortened accordingly. Qian Mengli was complaining about this.
But what Qian Mengli said made sense. He came to the Asian Games to bully others, and what she didn't expect was that Su Feng would occupy the quota of other members of the Chinese team. Those people actually needed this opportunity more.
With Su Feng here, the 100-meter quota is equivalent to one less, which is really not good for other 100-meter athletes.
But there was nothing Su Feng could do.
Because whether it is the Asian Games or the Olympics, it is said that friendship comes first and competition comes second, but I have never heard of a friendship ranking list. It has always been a medal ranking.
The core thing is the competition for medals and achievements.
This is a symbol of national strength and face for each participating country, and it is also a reflection of the sports quality of a country's citizens.
So Su Feng naturally came. It's a bit like Yao Ming's decision to return to China to compete. If they didn't come back, not only would the officials not be willing, but most people would be unwilling as well.
Regarding this, the General Administration and He Jun both told him.
Moreover, Su Feng's focus on the Asian Games is not just as simple as helping the Chinese team win a gold medal.
With Su Feng's influence in China and Asia, his participation can directly increase the influence of the competition, and a large number of viewers will be interested in the competition in which Su Feng participates.
The audience at the scene could say that given China's population, it would be easy to fill a stadium.
But it's hard to predict the audience in front of the TV. If you don't know, it will lose an unknown amount of ratings.
After picking up some relevant information from these contents and telling them to Qian Mengli, Qian Mengli finally had no choice but to support Su Feng's decision.

On November 12, 2010, the Guangzhou Asian Games opened in Guangzhou Haixin Square with the expectations of all Chinese people.
At the opening ceremony, the Executive Chairman of the Guangzhou Asian Organizing Committee, Chairman of the Guangzhou Asian Organizing Committee, Chairman of the Olympic Council Ahmed and others delivered speeches respectively.
Then comes the large-scale theatrical performance "Sail", which consists of three chapters: the overture, the first part "Water of the Earth" and "Ocean Boat", the middle part "Sail of White Clouds", and the second part "Invitation to the Flower City", focusing on explaining the water
The central meaning in Lingnan culture.
As the venue for the opening and closing ceremonies of the Asian Games, Haixinsha Square is located at the intersection of the central axis of Guangzhou City and the Pearl River. Viewed from the air, Haixinsha Square and the main stadium form a giant ship facing the east and about to set sail.
Four large electronic screens nearly 100 meters high are like huge sails, rising high on the edge of the Pearl River.
Among the 49 competition venues for the Guangzhou Asian Games, 28 are concentrated in the three venue groups of Olympic Sports Center, Tianhe Stadium and University Town, while the rest are relatively scattered.
There was no event for Su Feng on the first day of competition.
In this competition, although Su Feng intended to avoid the 200-meter event, he ultimately failed to do so. After all, Yang Wei, the strongest player on the Chinese team besides Su Feng, was not sure he could win the gold medal in the 200-meter event.
And if Su Feng gives up the 100-meter event, with Zhang Peimeng and Su Bingtian, the possibility of the Chinese team winning the gold medal is still very high. But this is Su Feng’s strongest event, and many people just want to watch Su Feng.
Feng only came for the 100 meters. If he didn't participate, it would undoubtedly greatly weaken the influence of the competition, so it still wouldn't work.
The next day, at 9:30 in the morning, the men's 100-meter preliminaries will begin soon.
At this time, the men's javelin and women's triple jump competitions were taking place on the field, which were also preliminaries. However, they had already reached the final stage, and the audience's attention had begun to be diverted to the 100 meters that was about to begin.
At 9:50, Su Feng had already arrived at the exit of the corridor. He was in second place and was about to start his preliminaries in the second lane.
A total of 62 athletes participated in the 100 meters in this Asian Games.
The game is divided into four shots.
The first shot is the preliminaries, which are divided into eight preliminaries groups. The first six groups are eight people each, and the last two groups are seven people each. The top four in each group enter the semi-finals.
The second shot is the semi-finals, which are divided into four semi-final groups, with eight people in each group, and the top four in each group advance to the semi-finals.
The third shot is the semi-finals, divided into two groups of eight people each, and the top four advance to the finals.
The fourth shot is the final, and eight players will compete for the championship, second and third place medals.
