I don’t see a reason to move this event, it’s for youth athletes anyway. Plus, the EOC don’t make a lot of revenue off the EYOF anyway already announced they will move it to another date Vojthas and Olympian1010 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olympian1010 7,483 Posted March 31, 2020 #613 Share Posted March 31, 2020 ITG dropping a lot of (at least to my knowledge) unconfirmed information about the 2021 Asian Indoor and Martial Arts Games in this article. Apparently the dates have been set: April 24 - May 5 (which oddly enough conflicts with the World Combat Games scheduled to take place in Kazakhstan next year, that features some of the same sports (and would probably feature many of the same athletes)). Sports Program has also been decided: Bowling, Cue Sports (Billiard Sports), Dancesport, e-Sports, Floorball, Futsal, Indoor Athletics, Muaythai (what a surprise ), Netball, Sepaktakraw, Short Course Swimming (25m pool), and Taekwondo. I don’t know if this is the final program because the sports program has not yet been officially confirmed by the OCA (at least to my knowledge). Oceanian NOCs will be invited to participate once again (I do think this has been confirmed by the OCA). “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

If Oceania nations participate then Australia and New Zealand will battle for gold. Even if they don't compete I'd take Fiji/Samoa over anyone from Asia.

I think if they don't cancel the games most NOCs will only send few athletes only to respect the OCA. not seriously sending a delegation. I really expect Iran to do that, only sending less than 10 athletes in one sport. (probably just a futsal team) because OCA always asks NOCs to participate. only two new sports, Floorball and Netball ! we used to see organizers adding weird sports ino the AIMAG program. but seriously I hope they change the name, this is probably the worst name ever "Asian Indoor and Martial Arts Games" !! what about Asian Games B !

Most of them are non-Olympic sports. Based on that list athletics, swimming and taekwondo may have it tough (at least among athletes that will compete at the Olympics) Edited March 31, 2020 by JoshMartini007 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think NOCs will have much money for preparing their teams for an event like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
