The year 2022 will be a big year for sports in China. That's because China will hold not only the 24th Winter Olympics in Beijing, but also the 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou.
Hangzhou won the host rights (主办权) for the 2022 Asian Games in 2015. It will be the third Chinese city to host the Asian Games after Beijing and Guangzhou in 1990 and 2010.
First held in 1951, the Asian Games is the largest sports event in Asia. It means a lot to China. The Beijing Asian Games was the first large international (国际的) sports event hosted by China. To make the Games a great success, Beijing built a number of roads and gyms. Also, Beijing trained plenty of volunteers to help foreign players. The Games helped the world see China better.
For the 2022 Asian Games, Hangzhou starts building thirty-three gyms. The themes (主题) of the Hangzhou Asian Games are "green, smart, economical (节俭) and civilized (文明)".
