Asian Games Hangzhou 2023: Preview & Schedule

The People’s Republic of China holds the 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou from 23 September to 8 October 2023, with competitions beginning as early as 19 September.

Paris 2024 Olympic qualification quotes are also available in nine sports.

One of the world’s biggest multi-sports competitions takes place in Hangzhou, People’s Republic of China. Thousands of athletes from around Asia will gather to compete in 481 events at the 19th Asian Games, which were originally due to be held in 2022 before being postponed due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

The Opening Ceremony is set for Saturday 23 September, although competition in eight sports will take place beforehand beginning on 19 September. The Games then last for 15 days before the Closing Ceremony on Sunday 8 October.

Competitions in archeryartistic swimmingboxingbreakinghockeymodern pentathlonsailingtennis, and water polo will also serve as Olympic qualifiers, with Paris 2024 quota spots available in those nine sports.

While the Asian Games in 2023 are happening towards the end of many summer sports seasons, there will still be big names involved, from the likes of Neeraj Chopra and Mutaz Barshim in athletics to Pan Zhanle and Hwang-soo-wu in swimming.

Here is what to expect in Hangzhou.

Top names taking part at Hangzhou 2022 Asian Games

Hangzhou will see some of the world’s biggest stars in action, with world and Olympic champions suiting up for their national teams once more.

Perhaps the most-watched event at the Asian Games will come in a sport that is not currently on the Olympic programme. The way the draws have shaped up, India are likely to face Pakistan in the cricket finals on 25 September (women’s) and 7 October (men’s), with many of the two countries’ best players in the squad.

Artistic gymnastics will be shorn of many stars, as the 2023 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships begin in Antwerp, Belgium, the day after the conclusion of the event in Hangzhou. However, the hosts – who have already obtained a Paris 2024 qualifying quota in the sport by virtue of their 2022 World Championships performance – will send their full strength team to Hangzhou. Additionally, a veritable legend of the sport.

While badminton’s men’s Olympic champion and world number 1 Viktor Axelsen – being Danish – won’t be at the Asian Games, the rest of the world’s best in both men’s and women’s singles should be on hand, including the recently crowned world champions.

Hangzhou 2022 Asian Games in 2023

There are 74 Paris 2024 Olympic quotas to be secured at the 19th Asian Games: 6 in archery, 10 in artistic swimming, 34 in boxing, 2 in breaking, 2 in hockey, 10 in modern pentathlon, 6 in sailing, 2 in tennis, and 2 in water polo.

In these sports and events, the top finisher(s) will obtain a Paris 2024 quota spot by name or for their National Olympic Committee (NOC) for the Olympic Games next summer.

However, as NOCs have the exclusive authority for the representation of their respective NOC teams at the Olympic Games, athletes’ participation at the Paris Games depends on their NOC selecting them to represent their delegation at Paris 2024.
