Asian Games: Athlete Experience Key To Organising Major Sporting Events, Says IOC Chief Coventry
The International Olympic Committee: The International Olympic Committee (IOC) President Kirsty Coventry said on Sunday that the experience of athletes should be a key consideration when organising major sporting events.
Coventry made the remarks after visiting the athletes' accommodation area at Garden Pier in Nagoya Port, where she met with athletes competing at the Asian Games. She also acknowledged that organisers must take into account the costs and logistical complexities involved in delivering such an experience.
The 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games have accommodated athletes on a cruise ship, in container-style huts and at hotels in different locations as part of efforts to reduce costs. Such arrangements have drawn criticism from some athletes and delegations.
