Olympics - Asia council sets up sub ******s as Kuwait row rumbles
DANANG, Vietnam: The Olympic council of Asia (OCA) has decided to set up five new sub ******s to enable it to function effectively while the row with the Kuwait government continues over its headquarters in the Gulf State.
Kuwait was suspended by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) in October 2015 after the government was accused of interference in its national Olympic Committee, which has subsequently been dissolved. A month later, the long-term agreement for the OCA to have its headquarters in Kuwait City was unilaterally torn up by the government. The OCA Executive Board met on Saturday and decided to set up regional ******s in Bangkok, Almaty, Delhi and Nansha, China as well as in Lausanne, Switzerland, the home of the IOC. "We are committed to **t only continuing with our services but to improve them further," OCA Director General Husain Al Musallam said in a statement. "We hope for the (Kuwait) government to finalise what is the direction. (They) terminated the diplomatic agreement in **vember last year and we are looking forward to finalising all the related issues officially with them. "But **w, with these five ******s, plus Lausanne, the OCA and the Asian Games is well protected." The board meeting in Danang, Vietnam also agreed to limit the number of athletes at the Asian Games to two per country per sport. "This decision has been made to reduce the participants at the Asian Games, which **w involve 15,000 athletes and officials from the 45 countries and regions, 4,000 technical staff, 8,000 media and 30,000 volunteers and workforce, meaning some 60,000 people are involved every day of the Games," read an OCA statement. Australia, who are in the Oceania confederation for the Olympics but Asia for soccer, have also been invited to participate at the 2017 Asian Winter Games, but without the chance of winning medals. "Oceania is a neighbouring confederation for Asia and we welcome **t only Australia but all Oceania to take the opportunity to enter for the first time, as a guest but with ** medals," the statement added. "We will evaluate the situation after that." Oceania does **t organise a Winter Games. The next Asian Winter games are in Sapporo, Japan in February, while the next Summer version of the continental gathering takes place in Indonesia in 2018. أكثر... ??????? ??????: Olympics - Asia council sets up sub ******s as Kuwait row rumbles || ??????: ahlam1399 || ??????: اسم منتداك
