Kazakhstan will gain enough experience after Asiada to seriously consider hosting Olympic Games - Russian journalists
The journalists were familiarized with the process of construction, erection of infrastructure, service and production of souvenirs and advertisement. The guests said that what they saw had exceeded their expectations. Modern technologies, preparedness and the scales of the building process astonished them as they confessed. The journalists expressed their opinions that the Asian games in Kazakhstan would be held at the highest level.
"There is no doubt that the construction is run in schedule and everything will be ready on time. We were told that test competitions would be held on the sites already in October or November. The ski jumping board impressed us the most. They very harmoniously fit into the landscape of Almaty", Alexander Erastov, a journalist of Rossiiskaya Gazeta said.
"I am sure that the experience your country will gain after the Asian Games will allow you to seriously consider holding the Olympic Games. Taking into account the infrastructure you have now this goal is achievable", Alexey Morozov from Sport-Express considers.
"Definitely, there are the spheres we have to work on, especially, improvement of road infrastructure, development of the network of hotels and campgrounds but the city is ready to host the Games. Your Asiada will become a new stage in world sport. Japan and China will not dominate in this sphere constantly. Kazakhstan has taken the initiative", journalist of Kommersant newspaper Grant Kasyan said.
As is known, the Games will be held in two cities - Astana and Almaty.
