Promoting Asian Games Through Art

Promoting Asian Games Through Art

20 children all aged thirteen and below participated in the “On-the-spot” art competition.

“My favourite sport is tennis. I play tennis with my friends during the weekends. Sports keep us healthy and active. It’s really important. I am really happy to participate and draw my favourite sport,” said Yeetsho, a participant.

“I came here to draw my favourite sports and I had a lot of fun. And I love drawing,” said Rayden Jatsho, another participant.

Besides attractive prizes, the winning artwork will be displayed during the 19th Asian Games at Hangzhou in China. It will be held in September.

“So, this event is basically like a marketing campaign by the Olympic Council of Asia to promote the Asian Games coming up in 2023 September. So, basically, they want to use art as a way for kids to show support for their favourite sports or favourite athletes and promote culture through arts and sports,” said Sonam Namgyal from Bhutan Olympic Committee.

Five panellists from the Bhutan Olympic Committee and VAST will select four winners. And it will be announced next week.

The Bhutan Olympic Committee is organizing a marathon titled ‘Fun Run’ next week to also promote the Asian Games.

Vietnamese players prevail in VBA Awards 2023 nominations

The VBA Awards 2023 ceremony took place this year, and it was different from the previous year. The program excluded awards for ‘Handle of the Year,’ ‘Assist of the Year,’ and ‘Buzzer Beater of the Year.’ Instead, a new category called ‘Basket of the Year’ was introduced to acknowledge the most remarkable and emotionally charged scoring situation of the season.

The game lasts for three action-packed minutes, with the drones protected by globe-like shields, zooming around, colliding with each other, and bouncing off the green field.

Sean Greenhalgh, a professional drone soccer player and former Trader Joe’s employee, reveals that he discovered this emerging sport during a drone photography course about a year ago. Now, he serves as the captain and main striker for Team USA, alongside teaching children aged four and older the sport. While it may be a niche profession, Greenhalgh appears to be doing well and enjoying his role. Jasmine Lee, the match commentator, explains that an engineer, who happened to be a mas...
