South Korean athletes complain about short beds in temporary housing at Asian Games in Nagoya, Japan
The Asian Games in Nagoya, Japan, have faced criticism over temporary accommodation for athletes. South Korea's delegation complained about wooden container huts with beds too short for tall athletes, and a video showed a leaking pipe. Athletes were briefly evacuated due to flooding. Other countries, including India and the Philippines, reported delays and accommodation problems. The Games, which officially start on Saturday, are hosting around 17,000 athletes and officials, with some staying on a cruise ship. Organizers say they are addressing the issues.
