By the Numbers: A Look at the Asian Games in Nagoya, Japan
Organizers say more than 11,000 athletes are registered, and some delegations will stay on a cruise ship, in hotels and in converted containers.
- The Asian Games open Saturday in Nagoya, Japan, welcoming more than 11,000 athletes and about 17,000 officials. The event runs through Oct. 4.

- High registration numbers caused a last-minute room crunch, with athlete groups raising concerns about small hotel rooms and short beds. Imroze Ahmed, head of the delegation from Bangladesh, said issues should be "settled" soon.
- Host Japan is sending about 900 athletes, while China leads with 815 and Hong Kong with about 580. North Korea is sending about 100 athletes to the Asian Games.
- Often cited as the second most important multi-sports event after the Summer Olympics, the Asian Games feature both familiar Olympic disciplines and regional sports unique to Asia. The event runs through Oct. 4.
