Korean Olympic chief criticizes Asian Games organizers
Ryu Seung-min, president of the Korean Sport & Olympic Committee and former Olympic champion, publicly condemned the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games organizers for what he called shoddy operations, saying he would give them an F. He cited problems with athletes' accommodations and transportation and warned these issues affect performance. Specific incidents include a shuttle no-show that canceled a basketball shootaround before the gold medal game, football teams taken to the wrong stadium arriving 30 minutes late, the wrong national anthem being played, and South Korea labeled as "Republic of China" at medal ceremonies. Other countries have also complained.
