The Asian Games is the second largest sporting event in the world after the Olympic Games, comprising one half of the world's population.
By the end of June 2009, more than $850 million of more than $1.7 billion has been invested in the all-new Asian Games Town which includes all new facilities such as the International Broadcast Centre and Main Press centre for the Games. During the 16th Asian Games registered personnel and honored guests from 45 countries and regions will find accommodations at the Asian Games Town including more than 14,000 athletes and accompanying officials and 10,000 news media.
The overall progress of the Asian Games Town project is now two months ahead of schedule.
Construction of more than 75 percent of all Asian Games venues are underway and all of them will be completed and ready for use by March 2010.
There will be 72 venues for the Asian Games, including 53 competition venues and 19 training venues.
Nearly 80 percent of all Asian Games' venues in Guangzhou will be accessible by metro.
Venues such as the Tianhe Sports Centre and Guangzhou Velodrome are under construction with expansion and renovation of 41 venues currently underway.

Wang Zhizhi (214-C-79) scored 28 points and Yi Jianlian grabbed 15 rebounds as China defeated host Qatar today 59-44 to win the championship of the Asian Games.
China's women's team also won Asian Games gold with a 90-59 rout of Chinese Taipei yesterday.
In a defensive contest, China shot only 40 percent against Qatar but 33 percent against China. Qatar outrebounded China 36-33 but China scored 11 points from turnovers to only 4 for Qatar. China led 20-16 after the first quarter and 34-25 at the half. The score was 47-39 after three quarters. China outscored Qatar 12-5 in the fourth quarter.
China won its three medal-round games by 15 points or more -- 16 over Korea, 28 over Jordan and 15 over Qatar -- showing the same dominance over Asian competition that it exhibited in the Asian Championship two years ago, when it played with Yao Ming. The only game in which it had difficulty was in the meaningless game against Lebanon.
The starting five of Liu Wei, Wang Shipeng, Zhu Fangyu, Yi Jianlian and Wang Zhizhi played the bulk of the game. Sun Yue, Li Nan and Mo Ke were the only other players who saw action.
Qatar was led by Omar Abdelkader Salem who had 16 points and 15 rebounds.
In the Bronze Medal game Iran defeated Jordan 84-78 behind 19 points from Mahdi Kamrany and 9 rebounds from 217 cm Hamed Ehadadi. Ehadadi appears to be a good rebounder and shot blocker but is offensively challenged. However players that size often develop late and Ehadadi is only 21 years old.
Yesterday 209 cm 18-year-old Anton Ponomarev scored 25 points, grabbed 9 rebounds and dished out 4 assists to lead Kazakhstan to a 100-74 win over Chinese Taipei. In their first meeting Taipei won by two and Ponomarev shot 3 for 18. So Ponomarev can adjust his game, an indication of his potential. Yesterday Borat got a Golden Globe nomination for best comedy. Ten years from now Ponomarev may be more famous.
Wang Zhizhi averaged 19.0 ppg for fifth place in scoring for the tournament. Yi Jianlian averaged 16.8 ppg for 8th place. Ponomarev averaged 17.4 ppg for 6th place. Yi averaged 10.3 rebounds for third place. Ponomarev averaged 9.0 rebounds for 8th place. Liu Wei averaged 3.0 assists for 10th place. Ehadadi led the tournament in blocked shots with 3.1 per game.
Wang led the tournament in shooting percentage with 55.8 and Yi finished second with 54.1. Wang finished second in free throw shooting with 78.0 percent. Mo Ke finished fifth in three-point shooting with 50 percent and Zhu Fangyu finished 10th with 47.1. Wang finished first in two-point shooting with 62.8 and Yi finished 8th with 54.1. No Chinese player was among the top ten in turnovers.

11th place: Uzbekistan 92 Bahrain 73
