Guangzhou Asian Games

Yesterday the 16^th Asian Games ‘Guangzhou Asian Games’ terminate. I have watched Guangzhou Asian Games so I decide to the topic is Asian Games. Guangzhou Asian Games vision was that “sports game is spine-tingling and harmonious Asian is friendship of nation and unity.” Mascot means peace, harmony and happy so mascot have Guangzhou people’s wish.

The game’s opening ceremony was held in November 12, 2010 and the closing ceremony was held in November 27, 2010. The opening ceremony was so wonderful and beautiful because ceremony was colorful light of red, yellow, green, white, blue etc. many singers was sing. To my surprise, singer Kim Hyun joong who is member of SS501 in Korea singer group sang with China singer in Guangzhou. Finally the flame has been lit.

     The Asian Games was gone well. 14,454 athletes from 45 countries participated in 42 regular events. Korea participated in all events except cricket and totals 1,013 athletes took part in events. Our athletes won 76 gold medals, 65 silver medals and 91 bronze medals so Korea came overall second. I was proud of all athletes and I touched when athletes cry. All athletes did their best and although they got no medal, they showed sportsmanship so I was moved.

     Finally in closing ceremony, showed tradition culture of each nation and Asia’s star Rain who is Korean top singer and actor was performance powerfully. Next Asian Games venue is Incheon, Korea in 2014. I look forward to the games and we should look at the advanced country’s culture and attitude.
