Asian Games

Published:

By Richard Young

Next weekend the 15thAsian Games begin in Doha, Qatar with athletes from 45 countries competing for medals. Watch familiar sports from the Olympics as well as others that look bonkers-amazing. These should definitely be checked out: Kabadi Raiders chasing each other around while chanting (without breathing!), the spectacular football/martial arts/volleyball combination of Sepaktakraw and 100 mile races on Arabian horses. All reasons to celebrate for this often troubled continent.
