Korea targets 83 gold medals in Asian Games...

you're right. Asian Games generally don't attract much attention. But this one's at home so there are a little more than usual interest.

Also, whatever the Korea's sports association says, doesn't reflect the people's interest. They could say they're are aiming for a billion medals. It still hasn't reflected any opinions of the Korean people.

 

What about China? How many gold medals are they aiming?

 

My personal hope is 1 gold medal in Soccer.

 

In youth level China already has win over Korea.

 

The latest U19 match held this year the result was 3-1 victory for Korea.

 

gold in soccer, thats all i care abotu asian game.
China beat S.Korea in U-19 once.

 

Well, at least China has a good chance to get the women's soccer gold!

 

83 out of how many?

 

So what is this? The Olympics on a smaller scale? Same events and stuff?

 

83 medals? How many events do the Asian Games have, then, because that seems like a pretty astronomical number?

 

im not sure, maybe around 200~300.

 

Well, it is the largest multi-sports event other than the Olympics. I don't know how many events there are, but there are some that are NOT in the Olympics as the Olympic sports are pretty West-centric. I believe Wushu is a medal sport in the Asian games.

 

Presumably China?

 

The very same thing happened to China. They calles it the red eye disease. It is extremely contagious. Thousands of people in 9 provinces have been infected.

 

I heard China is expected to get around 140.
