Hangzhou Asian Games 2022 postponed due to resurgence of Covid-19
Xtra Time Web Desk: The forthcoming Asian Games 2022 to be held in Hangzhou in September has been postponed to 2023, organisers said on Friday. There is no specific reason given for the delay, but China is racing to extinguish its largest outbreak of Covid-19 since the early days of the pandemic.
"The Olympic Council of Asia has announced that the 19th Asian Games, originally scheduled to be held in Hangzhou, China from September 10 to 25, 2022, will be postponed," said a statement on the official Games website, first posted on Chinese state media.
The new dates for the sporting contest "will be announced at a later date", the statement added.
Hangzhou was poised to become the third city in China to host the continental competition after Beijing in 1990 and Guangzhou in 2010.
The 2018 edition of the Asian Games were held in Jakarta and Palembang. India had finished 8th in the medal table with a total of 69 medals, including 15 gold medals
