On
June 19, the eighth Senior Artistic Gymnastics Asian Championship began at the
Buyant Ukhaa Sports Complex in Ulaanbaatar. The competition is taking place in
Mongolia for the first time. 139 athletes, 64 coaches, and 46 judges have
joined the event.
In his opening remarks, Governor of the capital city and Mayor
of Ulaanbaatar S.Amarsaikhan said, "Over a half of Ulaanbaatar citizens
are children and youth. Thus, we must pay attention to increasing physical
activity of the overall population. In collaboration with relevant bodies, we
commenced the construction of the new Winter Sports Palace, football pitch for
every district, as well as public sports fields and complex to promote the
movement for physical sports development across the city. We have successfully
hosted continental and world championships of around 20 team and individual
sports such as wrestling, judo, boxing, and basketball in Ulaanbaatar. Now, we
are ready to show the performances of Asia’s best athletes to our citizens,”
I am confident that performances of the top athletes will
inspire our children and youth to engage in athletic gymnastics, improve their
physical fitness, and achieve success, he added, while warmly welcoming the
athletes and coaches to Ulaanbaatar.
The championship is being aired live to the world.
