In addition, eight non-Olympic sports will be featured:baseball, ten-pin bowling, cricket, kabaddi, karate, sepaktakraw, squash and wushu. The list was finalised on December 9, 2010 at the OCA's executive board meeting in Muscat,Oman.[33][34] This resulted in six other sports: roller sport, chess, cue sports, softball, dancesport and dragon boat, which were held in previous Games being dropped from the list.[35] The list was approved on July 13, 2011 during the 30th annual general assembly in Tokyo as softball incorporated with baseball as one sport while soft tennis is under the discipline of tennis.[36] For the first time, compound archery was introduced as part of the event in archery.[37] Earlier, the organisers proposed to stage 38 sports in the Games, but during the 28th Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) general assembly in Singapore in July 2009, it was decided that the number of sports be trimmed to 35 by contesting the 28 Olympic sports and in-addition of seven non-Olympic sports.[38] The issue was expected to be decided in OCA general assembly during the 2010 Games in Guangzhou, China, but it was delayed because conflict of interest between the organisers and OCA, thus bringing into disputed for sports to be feature. On November 13, 2010, organisers proposed baseball, ten-pin bowling, kabbadi, sepaktakraw, softball, squash, wushu for inclusion and drop cricket due to their view that it is played in a small number of countries and they lacked infrastructure to host it. The OCA however, insisting the inclusion of karate, as well as cricket because the sport can generate returns through television viewership due to high spectator interest,[39] while ten-pin bowling was recommended to be re-designated for the Indoor Games.[40] • Aquatics • Canoeing • Football • Diving • Sprint • Golf • Swimming • Slalom • Gymnastics • Synchronized swimming • Cricket • Artistic • Water polo • Cycling • Rhythmic • Archery • BMX • Trampoline • Athletics • Mountain bike • Handball • Badminton • Road • Judo • Baseball • Track • Kabaddi • Baseball • Equestrian • Karate • Softball • Dressage • Modern pentathlon • Basketball • Eventing • Rowing • Bowling • Jumping • Rugby sevens • Boxing • Fencing • Sailing • Field hockey NOC BULLETIN ISSUE 3 MAY 2013 ̪ OCA President Visit Korea th ̪ The 6 C.C. meeting ̪ Preparation of 2013 AIMAG & 2014 AG ̪ NOC Service Activities ̪ Promotion Activities 2014 Incheon Asian Games Organizing Committee Contents 2013.
