Typhoon threat risks disruption to Asian Games in Aichi-Nagoya
Organisers of the 20th Asian Games in Aichi-Nagoya are preparing for possible disruption after Tropical Storm Dujuan moved off Japan's Pacific coast and tracked northwest toward central Japan, with maximum sustained winds of 90 kmph and gusts to 126 kmph. The Games officially open in Nagoya while several competitions such as football, basketball, volleyball and cricket are already under way among 43 sports scheduled from September 19 to October 4. Heavy rain last week already disrupted transport and forced several hundred athletes to evacuate accommodation; one women's cricket quarter-final was abandoned under washout rules. Officials say they are holding thorough meetings to respond.
