Chinese Olympic officials, the dominance of the Australian assessment "into Asia" against the Olympic spirit

Guangzhou Asian Games, Asian Games, Asian Games is the next unmatched features will remain in Asia, will not cancel the non-Olympic projects will not absorb the Oceania countries to participate in the Asian Games in Guangzhou Asian Games is the biggest advantage of sports, technology, operations and culture perfect fusion

2010 Guangzhou Asian Games will be closed today, this is the first time in 20 years after the second time hosting the Games, which 20 years is not just a period of rapid development of Chinese sports, but also the era of the rapid rise of China. However, the Chinese army too powerful to be reduced to a delegation of the Asian Games performance, with controversial issues into the VIP room, an exclusive interview with this reporter recently Director General of Olympic Council of Asia Hussein Musallam, The OCA senior leaders face the problem and told the newspaper, the Asian Games will have their characteristics will not change.

Concerns evaporated prior

The first time in 20 years, China once again hosting the Asian Games, Guangzhou Asian Games are the expected results achieved, and the Asian Games, "China model" what is the point?

China Daily: Would you please evaluate this session of the Guangzhou Asian Games?

Hussein: Prior to the Doha Asian Games and the success of the Beijing Olympic Games in Guangzhou people are more of a worry, but it turned out, the Guangzhou Asian Games are unmatched, and certainly more than one person I think, from the opening to the game itself, to organize the operation, and the venues are very good and excellent.

China Daily: China has held the two Asian Games, Asian Games history, they have a kind of meaning?

Hussein: Beijing Asian Games and Asian Games are very important, they are in the high status of the previous Asian Games, to make an indelible contribution to the Asian Games, Asian Games held in those two very land for the improvement of China's competitive sports.

China Daily: The success of the Guangzhou Asian Games held in state for what kind of meaning?

Hussein: I participated in the recent preparations for the sixth Asian Games, Asian Games host city from a whole to be developed, including sports facilities, urban culture, IT system development, livelihood and other aspects. Specific to Guangzhou, the most significant effect is due to host the Asian Games in Guangzhou will be the emergence of many new public facilities and buildings, and seven years ago when just ready to bid big difference.

China should learn from successful models

The Asian Games, the Chinese Army to perform "one-man show," triggered a strong dominance of controversy whether the Asian Games because of China's too powerful and become boring it?

China Daily: The Olympic Games are "thin", and the Guangzhou Asian Games, Asian Games in the history of the project settings is one of the largest, which is why? Asian Games will be how thin?

Hussein: The Olympic Games is the game for the whole world, but Asia is the world's largest continent, not only on the geographical span, and national and regional cultural differences are very obvious, with very strong local characteristics, such as India and Pakistan cricket, sepak takraw and kabaddi in Southeast Asia, as well as Chinese martial arts. Asian Games is because of these distinctive events become very attractive. Next Incheon Asian Games, we will reduce some of the projects, but we certainly have to protect the physical and cultural characteristics unique to the region.

China Daily: Chinese delegation once again demonstrates the strength in the Asian Games, gold medals and a dominance of other countries will limit the development of sports?

Hussein: The worry is unnecessary, China has greatly improved sports performance, and the country's powerful political and economic are inseparable. China should learn from successful models of sports, other sports is relatively backward countries and regions to have learned so much from China, and this study will undoubtedly help them improve.

China Daily: Some say the Games should be held in two, one for the Olympics, a non-Olympic projects, how do you think of this proposal?

Hussein: There is no need to do two Asian Games, Asian Games, if divided into two, one of them to no difference between the Olympics, the Games lost their own characteristics. Asian Games because of these characteristics of the project has become the Asian Games.

Australia "into Asia" contrary to the Declaration

The competitiveness of the Asian Games and the attention are on the decline, Australia and Oceania, some of the countries want to join the Asian Games, which is a new attempt is absurd move it?

China Daily: Australia has joined the Asian Cup, Asian Games, will consider whether to absorb the country into the Asian Games in Oceania?

Hussein (not won the Olympic Council of Asia in the chest badge, told reporters, pointing): We know that the Olympic rings, representing the five continents, and if Oceania Asian Games, just like the rings of a less ring, this is wrong. Although the addition of Oceania, can increase the level of sports competition and the degree of concern, let the game more exciting, but contrary to the Declaration and the Olympic is not conducive to Asia to maintain its own characteristics, this and our original intention of hosting the Games is inconsistent The.

China Daily: OCA (Olympic Council of Asia) by the Guangzhou Asian Games, the biggest gain for that? Asian Games Asian Games in future, what inspired?

Hussein: The OCA itself, the greatest achievement lies not only in sports and the great increase in various fields - such as technology improvements, operational improvement - but also in cultural activities (Note: If the opening ceremony of the art performance and during the Asian Games held in some cultural activities) have also held fairly level, these gains are invaluable for the OCA. Other countries hosting the Asian Games Organizing Committee has therefore been a great challenge, because they must grow, must do more than the previous committee well before the Asian Games and the Olympic Games we, like the World Cup The contest to compete. We must also do better all the fields in order to favor the growth of Asian development and future success.

Director General of Olympic Council of Asia interview Mr. Hussein has been handed an application to four days, as the slightest movement generally do not go down the drain. Press again to inquire, the relevant staff seemed a bit helpless, "you still go back to other news first." This sentence has been heard many times, but the feeling of disappointment every time strong.

Mr. Hussein may be the busiest period of the Guangzhou Asian Games were: every day shuttle athletes village and the competition venues, monitoring the operations view the entire event. If the President of Olympic Council of Asia is a master of macro-control, then the Director-General Mr. Hussein is to implement into practice all the things the people. Hussein, a former swimmer and national champion got off to Kuwait. Later, he joined the Olympic Movement and in 1984 joined the Olympic Council of Asia, directly involved in the organization of the sixth Asian Games, this time arrived in Guangzhou, he used his extensive experience in office will do for the success of the Games a great contribution.

Hard work pays off, we finally received a call from the staff, get the phone number Hussein secretary. Allocated the first time in the past, I heard the sweet voice of a woman, this is a full English representations, we know that Mr. Hussein is really busy, has not accepted the media interview, but said he would as much as possible to arrange a time to meet us. Finally, the secretary, a colleague introduced her turn to us to be responsible and let us know. E-mail exchange a few letters in English, we finally got an exclusive interview with a valuable opportunity. Ten minutes for this interview is more valuable, because we came in before the Al-Jazeera received only twenty minutes of interview time. In order to allow Mr. Hussein in the interview feel more intimate, we have specially invited Arabic-speaking volunteers will be a translator. "Many of submitting applications interview, but you are really lucky." Then we work from the staff say that the Olympic Council of Asia in the Asian Games tournament, Mr. Hussein to accept the number of media interviews in Asia may flexor number.
