The current conditions that Russia and Ukraine are going through and the fierce battles between them, despite all attempts by countries to stop the war, and the insistence on continuing it is clear on both sides, made the Olympic Council of Asia welcome a proposal to give Russian and Belarusian athletes the opportunity to participate in the Asian Games, and the Council said, which takes From Kuwait, based in, statement: All athletes, regardless of their nationality or passport, should be able to participate in sports competitions.
This gave the Russian and Belarusian athletes, candidates, an opportunity to participate in the next Asian Games, which will be hosted by the Chinese city of Hangzhou in the “autumn of 2023”. This decision reminded me of the establishment of the Olympic Council of Asia in 1990 during the Beijing Asian Games, when Sheikh Ahmed Al-Fahd was sworn in as president, in appreciation of the role of his father, the martyr Fahd Al-Ahmad, may God have mercy on him. Since we are in the Asian continent, we care about this proposal, and we hope that athletes in other continents will unite the ranks, especially And that politics and sport are two sides of the same coin, as sport played several roles in reconciliation and the return of waters to normal between countries that took conflicts as their title, and restored harmony for them, at a time when diplomatic meetings and decisions did not succeed in bringing points of view closer and laying the foundations for cooperation and peace.
The Asian Games, sports tournaments that were and still are a goal for the top spot in their medals among the major countries such as China, South Korea and Japan, and now if the proposal is implemented, Russia will enter that competition with strength, and I see that the struggle of the adults for the lead will certainly widen the difference with other countries in terms of technicality and ambitions centers, but it will give another dimension that aims to raise the level through friction with those strong teams and their distinguished champions. Sport is a means whose goal is to bring people together away from the calculations of winning and losing. It has strong effects on renouncing differences and removing sensitivities between these peoples. ! And the God of the intent behind.
