Podcasts about Asian Games

The Indian men's hockey team has begun 2026 — a year of major stakes — on a worrying note. Four matches in the Rourkela leg of the FIH Pro League ended in four defeats, including a humiliating 8–0 loss to Argentina. With the Asian Games in Japan and the Hockey World Cup in the Netherlands and Belgium just months away, the results have raised uncomfortable questions. Are these early-season stumbles merely part of a longer preparation cycle, or do they point to serious issues in defence, goalkeeping, fitness and mentality? Should youngsters have been blooded in earlier? And how much pressure is mounting on coach Craig Fulton? In this episode of In Focus, we examine what went wrong in Rourkela, the search for stability in goal after P.R. Sreejesh, and why the core group of players who have been in the team for years need to be pulled up for the poor run of form. (Editor's note: This episode was recorded ahead of the Hobart leg of the FIH Pro League games) Host: Reuben Joe Joseph Guest: Uthra Ganesan, The Hindu's hockey correspondent Learn more about your ad choices.

Good afternoon, I'm Jacob Ingram with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opens higher on Wall Street rally The Tai-Ex opened up 35 points this morning from yesterday's close, at 32,440 on turnover (成交額) of $5.9 billion NT. Shares in Taiwan closed more than 600 points higher Monday, as a strong rally (大漲) in the United States late last week prompted investors to buy large-cap (大型股) electronics stocks. Contract chipmaker TSMC failed to hold onto all of its earlier gains, with analysts saying investors turned cautious ahead of the Lunar New Year holiday, amid concerns over possible negative developments overseas. Old-economy stocks (傳產股) were largely overshadowed by the technology sector, although some industries tied to AI development attracted interest. TaiDoc union protests interference; company blames 'outsider' involvement The union at TaiDoc Technology protested Monday outside the Ministry of Labor. It's accusing the medical device maker of undermining (破壞) its operations, including illegally dismissing its chair, Filipino worker Elizabeth Basas. Notices posted around the workplace allegedly humiliated her and warned other employees against joining the union. Union director Lennon Wang said the group, formed six months ago with about 30 Filipino members, has faced ongoing pressure from management and claimed the company forced employees to join the union, announcing over 100 new members unilaterally (單方面地). TaiDoc's chair has denied the accusations, calling Wang an "outsider" illegally interfering (非法干預) and questioning the legitimacy (合法性) of a recent strike vote. The Ministry of Labor said it has received a request to investigate the allegations and urged employers to respect union independence (工會自主權) and avoid improper interference (不當干預). Taiwan's Zhang Bo-ya wins gold at Asian Indoor Athletics Championships Taiwan's top hurdler Zhang Bo-ya (張博雅) secured gold in the women's 60-meter hurdles at the 2026 Asian Indoor Athletics Championships in Tianjin, setting a new national record of 8.12 seconds. The 22-year-old star broke her own national record twice in a single day. After an initial record-breaking run in the heats, Zhang surged past her Japanese competitors in the final to take Taiwan's first gold of the meet. Her victory capped off a successful weekend for the national team, which earned one gold and three silver medals. Notable performances included Chen Wen-pu (陳玟溥), who smashed a 38-year-old national record in the men's 60-meter sprint, alongside silvers from long jumper Lin Yu-tang (林昱堂) and sprinter Liao Yan-jun (廖晏均). Coach Wang Kuo-hui (王國慧) said the result confirms Zhang's peak condition as she prepares for the upcoming outdoor season and Asian Games qualifiers (亞運資格賽). Maxwell remains silent to Epstein questions, pleads for clemency In international news, Ghislaine Maxwell, the convicted sex trafficker for Jeffrey Epstein, has refused to answer US lawmakers' questions at a closed-door hearing, asserting her Fifth Amendment right (保持緘默權). She used the session to ask for clemency (寬赦), saying she would "speak fully" if pardoned (特赦) by US president Donald Trump. Nick Harper reports from Washington. Cuba Aviation Officials Warn of Fuel Shortage Cuban aviation officials have warned airlines of a fuel shortage (燃料短缺) for refueling on the island. This is part of energy rationing (能源配給) as the Trump administration cuts Cuba off from its fuel sources. The shortage stems from U.S. political pressure severing Cuba's access to oil from Venezuela and Mexico. Shorter flights may not be affected, but long-haul routes face challenges. The energy crisis has led to reduced bank hours, suspended cultural events and halted public transport. U.S. sanctions (制裁) have long impacted Cuba, but recent measures have intensified the situation. That was the I.C.R.T.

From Astro Boy to Gundam to real-world robots like ASIMO and Pepper, Japan's fascination with robots runs deep. This week, the Krewe is joined by author, cultural commentator, & robot enthusiast Matt Alt to explore how robots became heroes instead of threats in Japanese pop culture and how those sci-fi dreams quietly shaped Japan's modern relationship with technology, AI, and everyday automation. From giant mecha and cyborg icons to robot cafés and beyond, we dig into why Japan seems so comfortable living alongside machines in an episode that's equal parts nostalgia, culture, and future tech.------ About the Krewe ------The Krewe of Japan Podcast is a weekly episodic podcast sponsored by the Japan Society of New Orleans.

Ball Sports Padel, Teqball May Be Added to 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games

Kontingen Indonesia menutup ajang SEA Games dengan capaian membanggakan. Merah Putih berhasil finis di peringkat kedua klasemen akhir perolehan medali, menunjukkan konsistensi Indonesia sebagai salah satu kekuatan utama olahraga Asia Tenggara.Prestasi ini diraih lewat kontribusi signifikan dari sejumlah cabang unggulan, seperti atletik, angkat besi, bulu tangkis, pencak silat, hingga renang. Para atlet muda tampil kompetitif, bahkan mampu menggeser dominasi beberapa negara pesaing di nomor-nomor krusial. Hasil ini sekaligus menegaskan efektivitas pembinaan atlet usia muda yang selama ini menjadi fokus utama.Namun di balik capaian tersebut, evaluasi tetap menjadi hal penting. Masih terdapat beberapa cabang olahraga yang belum memenuhi target, baik dari sisi perolehan medali maupun performa teknis. Faktor regenerasi atlet, kedalaman skuad, serta kesiapan mental di laga penentuan menjadi catatan yang perlu diperbaiki.Selain itu, konsistensi pembinaan jangka panjang, peningkatan kualitas sport science, serta kompetisi berjenjang dinilai perlu diperkuat agar prestasi tidak hanya bersifat momentum. SEA Games memang ajang regional, tetapi hasil di sini menjadi fondasi penting menuju level yang lebih tinggi seperti Asian Games dan Olimpiade.Dengan finis di posisi kedua, Indonesia patut berbangga. Namun lebih dari sekadar peringkat, capaian ini harus dijadikan bahan evaluasi dan pijakan strategis untuk melahirkan prestasi yang lebih besar di masa depan. Karena target sesungguhnya bukan hanya unggul di Asia Tenggara, tetapi juga bersaing di panggung dunia.TALK :: Pemerhati Olahraga, yang juga mantan Wartawan Olahraga Kompas, Jimmy S Harianto & Sekjen Masyarakat Sepakbola Indonesia, Ch Ambong

In November 2025, the third edition of the Junior World gymnastics championships took place in the Philippines. I'm going to be discussing my big takeaways from the men's team event in which the Chinese men came out on top ahead of team Japan, who were very closely followed by the three man US squad. The all around crown was won by the Russian gymnast Arsenii Dukhno who was competing as a neutral athlete. He edged out the Asian Games champion from Japan Nao Ojima with Yang Lanbin the top Chinese athlete finishing in third to complete the men's podium. China took the gold medals on the floor exercise and pommel horse with Yang Lanbin's beautiful routine on the former of the two apparatus and Zheng Ao winning gold the pommel horse. Dante Reive became the Junior world still rings champion and the all around champion Arsenii Dukhno got his individual title on vault performing a near perfect Yuchenko triple twist. Following in footsteps of his senior training partner Angel Bajaras, Colombian superstar Camilo Vera took two gold medals to round out the championships. On the parallel bars he shared the title with Nao Ojima and then on the horizontal bar he performed a routine that would have been competitive just one month earlier at the senior World gymnastics championships. Overall I was extremely impressed with the level of competition at these junior championships and expect many of these athletes to play key roles for their respective nations throughout this olympic cycle and beyond. Beyond the gold-medal winners, standout performances were delivered by Simone Seperanza, Eldrew Yulo, Danila Leykin, Sol Scott, and Nael Sakouhi. And this is my story. 

Flood-Hit Thailand Decides to Relocate Many Southeast Asian Games Event Venues

Hong Kong pedal ace Ceci Lee Sze-wing's successful title defense in the women's road cycling individual event during the ongoing 15th National Games has once again turned the spotlight on the city's cycling team, which is known for its stellar show in premier tournaments.在正在进行的第十五届全运会上，中国香港自行车名将李思颖成功卫冕女子公路自行车个人赛冠军。这一成绩再次让以顶尖赛事出色表现闻名的中国香港自行车队成为焦点。Lee's gold is the second for the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region so far in this year's games, and she is also the third athlete from the SAR to triumph more than once at the National Games after Asian cycling legend Wong Kam-po and Olympian Sarah Lee Wai-sze.李思颖的这枚金牌是中国香港特别行政区在本届全运会上斩获的第二枚金牌。她也成为继亚洲自行车传奇人物黄金宝、奥运冠军李慧诗之后，第三位在全运会上多次夺冠的香港特区运动员。While hard work and discipline form the mainstay of Hong Kong cycling team's medal-winning performances, the application of cutting-edge sports technologies developed through the joint efforts of the Chinese mainland and Hong Kong has been a significant contributor to its success.香港自行车队的奖牌成就固然以刻苦训练和严格自律为核心，但内地与香港联合研发的尖端体育科技应用，同样是其成功的重要助力。A central research facility at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, which specializes in developing high-tech aerodynamic and acoustic surroundings, boasts a low-noise wind tunnel that can simulate a cycling race environment.香港科技大学的一处核心研究设施专注于研发高科技气动与声学环境，其中拥有一座低噪音风洞，可模拟自行车比赛场景。This facility, when further empowered by the nation's Tianhe 2 supercomputer in Guangzhou, Guangdong province, can not only improve cyclists' riding postures, but also assist in the development of the most suitable bike design and cycling bodysuit for them.该设施借助广东省广州市的国家“天河二号”超级计算机进一步赋能，不仅能优化运动员的骑行姿态，还能协助研发最适配他们的自行车设计与骑行服。Zhang Xin, director of the university's Aerodynamics and Acoustics Facility, highlighted the importance of using a supercomputer to develop sports technologies. As human muscle tissues and physical conditions constantly change, the computation process is complex and requires the use of a supercomputer, he said.香港科技大学气动与声学实验室主任张欣（音译）强调了利用超级计算机研发体育科技的重要性。他表示，人体肌肉组织和身体状态不断变化，计算过程复杂，必须借助超级计算机完成。Athletes of the Hong Kong cycling team have worn aero-speed suits developed and tested in the wind tunnel to compete at various major sports events, including the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games and the 2022 Asian Games in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province. These bodysuits, tailor-made for each athlete, are estimated to reduce wind drag by an impressive 3 percent.香港自行车队运动员已身着经风洞研发测试的气动速干服，参与了包括2020年东京奥运会、2022年杭州亚运会在内的多项重大体育赛事。这些为每位运动员量身定制的服装，预计可显著降低3%的风阻。Other sports disciplines, such as windsurfing and triathlon, have also employed simulations developed using the supercomputer and the wind tunnel to optimize the postures and movements of athletes.帆板、铁人三项等其他体育项目也运用了超级计算机和风洞研发的模拟技术，优化运动员的动作姿态。During training sessions in Stanley on Hong Kong Island, sensors developed by the university recorded athletes' physical data, which was subsequently analyzed using the supercomputer.在香港岛赤柱的训练期间，该校研发的传感器记录下运动员的身体数据，随后通过超级计算机进行分析。According to Zhang, the Tianhe 2 simulated the wind conditions at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games and provided the information to head coaches of the windsurfing and sailing teams. The supercomputer helped to enhance athletes' posture optimization, as well as design and select equipment, he said.张欣透露，“天河二号”曾模拟2024年巴黎奥运会的风力条件，并将相关数据提供给帆板队和帆船队主教练。超级计算机为运动员的姿态优化、装备设计与选型提供了有力支持。Sports technology cooperation between the mainland and Hong Kong has deepened in recent years, with more agreements signed for further development, serving both professional athletes and the public.近年来，内地与香港的体育科技合作不断深化，签署了更多合作协议推动后续发展，惠及专业运动员与普通民众。In September, Hong Kong Polytechnic University and mainland sportswear brand Li-Ning signed a memorandum of understanding to establish the Li-Ning-PolyU Joint Research Centre for Sports Science, which aims to enhance technological application and promote industrial transformation in the sports and health sectors.9月，香港理工大学与内地运动服装品牌李宁签署合作备忘录，成立“李宁-理大体育科学联合研究中心”，旨在加强体育健康领域的技术应用与产业转型。In Guangzhou, the Nansha Sub-Center of National Supercomputer Center provides the mainland's first supercomputer direct network line for Hong Kong. A dedicated high-speed fiber-optic network from the Tianhe 2 supercomputer is used to link Guangdong and Hong Kong's scientific innovation capabilities, enabling Hong Kong users to swiftly utilize the nation's supercomputing resources. The center has continuously provided support for technological innovation in Hong Kong and Macao.在广州，国家超级计算中心南沙分中心为香港开通了内地首条超级计算机直连网络专线。依托“天河二号”的专用高速光纤网络，链接粤港两地科创力量，让香港用户可快速调用国家超级计算资源。该中心持续为港澳地区的技术创新提供支持。For athletes from Macao and Hong Kong, traveling to the mainland for training and using sports technologies to improve their skills have become common.对于港澳运动员而言，赴内地训练并运用体育科技提升竞技水平已成为常态。Macao athlete Chan Man-hin, who participated in the National Games sailing event last month, said he was equipped with a high-end GPS tracker when he trained on the mainland. The device collected his performance data, including instantaneous speed and direction during sailing, for further analysis to help improve performance, he said.澳门运动员陈敏轩（音译）上月参与了全运会帆船项目，他表示在内地训练时配备了高端GPS追踪器。该设备收集了他航行中的瞬时速度、航向等表现数据，通过进一步分析助力成绩提升。"The piece of equipment allowed me to analyze all the training data and adjust my strategy for the day of the competition," Chan said.“这款设备让我能分析所有训练数据，调整比赛当天的策略，”陈敏轩说。The nation's support for sports development in its special administrative regions extends beyond hardware to include talent cultivation.国家对特区体育发展的支持不仅限于硬件层面，还涵盖人才培养。At Guangzhou Zhongshan Whampoa School for Hong Kong and Macao Students, a base has been established to provide a professional training platform for students from Hong Kong. Selected student athletes receive targeted training in five disciplines — fencing, swimming, equestrian, shooting and running.广州中山黄埔港澳子弟学校设立了专项基地，为香港学生提供专业训练平台。入选的学生运动员将接受击剑、游泳、马术、射击、跑步五个项目的针对性训练。These athletes also get more opportunities to participate directly in competitions at provincial, national and even international levels. By undergoing scientific and systematic training, they can gain recognition of the Sports Federation and Olympic Committee of Hong Kong, China, and have the chance to register as Hong Kong athletes, potentially becoming the city's elite sports representatives.这些运动员还能获得更多直接参与省、国家乃至国际级赛事的机会。通过科学系统的训练，他们有望获得中国香港体育协会暨奥林匹克委员会的认可，注册成为香港运动员，进而成为特区的精英体育代表。aerodynamic/ˌeərəʊdaɪˈnæmɪk/adj.空气动力学的；流线型的optimize/ˈɒptɪmaɪz/v.优化；使最优化

Host Ricky Sacks and Jason McGovern are joined by South Korean Journalist Sungmo Lee as we reflect on Sonny's legacy at the club. Son arrived at Tottenham Hotspur a decade ago - in August, 2015 - and has since established himself as one of the Club's all-time greats. The South Korea international went on to make 454 appearances in Lilywhite, scoring 173 goals, the fifth-highest tally in our history. Appointed captain in 2023, there have been countless memorable moments for Sonny on the pitch during his decade at the Club. In April, 2019, he etched his name into the history books with the first official goal at the new Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, and later that same season was an integral member of the first Spurs side to reach a Champions League final, scoring important goals in the round of 16 and quarter-final. Sonny won the FIFA Puskas Award in 2020 for an extraordinary solo goal against Burnley, which saw him dribble the length of the pitch before finding the net. Both a scorer of great goals and a great goalscorer, he added to his personal accolades in 2021/22, receiving the Premier League Golden Boot for his 23-goal return in the division. During his time at the Club, Sonny also became the highest-scoring Asian player in Premier League history and, in addition to leading South Korea to Asian Games success in 2018, has been named ‘Best Footballer in Asia' a record nine times. Sonny's greatest achievement in our colours came in May, 2025, as he led the Club to UEFA Europa League glory in Bilbao. By doing so, he wrote his name into Spurs folklore, becoming one of 13 captains in our history to lift a major trophy. Nominate Last Word On Spurs for Best Podcast - Premier League at the

This episode features a discussion with Jacob Schmidt-Madsen about Game Studies and the history of South Asian board games. Jacob is a Postdoctoral Scholar at the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science in Berlin. He earned his PhD in Indology in 2019 from the University of Copenhagen, where he still remains an Affiliated External Researcher. His work focuses on the history, structure, and cultural significance of board games in South Asia, and his dissertation explored the Indian origins of the modern children's game “Snakes and Ladders.” In Berlin, he is continuing this work as part of the research group Astral Sciences in Trans-Regional Asia (ASTRA), headed by Anuj Misra. His project within that group explores the cosmological and astrological dimensions to play and games in South Asia, specifically through the examination and translation of three encyclopedic texts. In the following discussion, we chat about the ideological and cultural significance of games, exploring the importance of play both as a key domain of experience and as an object of academic study.

The next year she would be the 2022-23 GNAC Player of the Year. Just before her sophomore season, Yannie competed for Hong Kong's national team in the Asian Games.

The recent Paris Olympics has just passed and may already be fading into memory. This year Team Taiwan won 2 gold medals and 5 bronze at the Olympics. Related Links: https://talkingtaiwan.com/my-conversation-with-mike-chinoy-award-winning-journalist-on-his-new-film-decathalon-ep-290/ Do you know when and who won Taiwan's first Olympic medal? It happened at the 1960 Rome Olympics, which was the first Summer Olympics that was televised in North America. The man who was known as the “Iron Man of Asia,” C.K. Yang won a silver medal in the decathlon. C.K. was of the Amis indigenous tribe from southeastern Taiwan. His Amis name was Maysang Kalimud, but then Japan colonized Taiwan he had a Japanese name when, and then after the Chinese Nationalists the Kuomintang lost the civil war in China to the Chinese Communist and fled to Taiwan, his father gave him a Chinese name, Yang Chuan-kwang.  Like many Amis, he used his athletic prowess to gain status and success that might otherwise have eluded him. But not much is known about how heavily he identified as Amis.   The gold medal winner at the Rome Olympics was Rafer Johnson, an African American.   Rafer and C.K. trained together under the same coach at UCLA and then competed against each other in the decathlon at the Rome Olympics. They were not only rivals but also the best of friends.   Their extraordinary and unlikely friendship inspired the making of a documentary film and I sat down recently to speak with Mike Chinoy, the co-creator, co-writer, and co-producer of that film which is called "Decathlon: The CK Yang and Rafer Johnson Story,”   Mike Chinoy is a Non-Resident Senior Fellow at the University of Southern California's US-China Institute and is based in Taipei. Previously, he spent 24 years as a foreign correspondent for CNN, serving as the network's first Beijing bureau chief and as Senior Asia Correspondent.   "Decathlon: The CK Yang and Rafer Johnson Story" is currently streaming on the Taiwan Plus Docs YouTube channel.   Here's a little preview of what we talked about in this podcast episode: ·       Team Taiwan's performance during the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris ·       How flags and signs in the shape of Taiwan or with the word Taiwan on them were confiscated from fans during the men's doubles badminton finals at the Paris Olympics ·       How China's state-run broadcaster CCTV cut the feed during parts of the men's badminton doubles match and did not broadcast the medal ceremony ·       Why Taiwan has to compete under the name “Chinese Taipei” at the Olympics ·       The “Iron Man of Asia” ·       The man that won Taiwan's first Olympic medal ·       C.K.
