00:00Accommodation issues continue to plague the lead-up to the IG Nagoya Asian Games. Host
00:06Team Japan is forced to look at alternative arrangements after cases in which male and
00:10female athletes were allocated shared rooms. Media earlier reported South Korean basketball
00:16players were complaining about the size of the beds in the shipping container-style huts on land.
00:21Local organizers had decided not to build a dedicated athlete's village. It instead utilized
00:27Italian cruise ship Costa Serena, which will host 4,000 participants, and shipping container-style
00:32huts in the dock area of Japan's biggest port for 2,000 other athletes and officials.
00:37The local organizing committee maintains the accommodation issue arose because they were
00:42expecting 15,000 athletes and officials, but numbers increased as new sports were added.
00:47The games will officially open on Saturday, September 19.
