Australia Seeks Full Inclusion In 2022 Asian Summer Games

Australian Olympic Committee President John Coates said that the country "hopes to bring a full delegation of athletes" to the 2022 Asian Summer Games in China and is seeking approval from the continent's Olympic council, according to Ian Ransom of REUTERS. Coates said that it was "too late for Australia to compete in next year's Summer Games in Indonesia" but its bid for inclusion at the '22 event in China's eastern city of Hangzhou "would be tabled at an OCA meeting in September." Coates: "Discussions are underway and I believe there would be great interest in the Asian Games amongst our member sports." Both the Commonwealth Games and Asian Games are scheduled for '22, presenting a "logistical challenge should Australia hope to send athletes to both" (REUTERS, 2/22).
