Asian Games to be switched to 2019

04-09-2010

Asian Games organisers are poised to switch the quadrennial event from 2018 to 2019, to avoid clashing with the Commonwealth Games in the future.

The general secretary of the Olympic Council of Malaysia, Sieh Kok Chi, told the Star newspaper that the decision had been taken by the Olympic Council of Asia.

He said the council had decided that the Asian Games should not be held in the same year as the Commonwealth Games because it did not benefit the athletes.
