The 2006 Doha Asian Games is the 15th Asian Games, held in Doha, the capital of Qatar from December 1 to 15, 2006, with the mascot Oli, and 11,000 athletes from 45 countries and regions participating in the 423 events of the competition.

Doha won the bid to host the 14th Asian Games on 12 November 2000, beating rival cities such as Kuala Lumpur, Hong Kong and New Delhi, India, in Busan, South Korea, the host of the 14th Asian Games. Before the official vote, Hong Kong was seen as the hottest city, with Kuala Lumpur as the second most popular. However, in the second round of voting, the West Asian countries united and unanimously chose Doha, resulting in a direct victory for Doha with a majority of 22 votes.

In the Hong Kong Island movie "The Story of McDull", the bid was also adapted into an animation, and the animated character McDull was used to express the disappointment of Hong Kong people over the failure of the Hong Kong bid.

Most events such as multi-sport events or championships are generally held in the summer, mainly in August.

Although the entire Asian Games started on December 1, the Chinese track and field team arrived in Doha, Qatar on December 4. The time of the track and field events of this Asian Games is from December 7 to December 12, and the start time of track and field events in large-scale comprehensive games such as the Asian Games and the Olympic Games will basically be close to the middle and back of the games.

When Yechin arrived in the city of Doha, he suddenly had the feeling of going from winter to summer.

"The weather feels like you're in the Southern Hemisphere!" Yang Yao and Gu Kaiqi, who followed Ye Qin out of the hatch together, felt the warm air, and a strange look appeared on their faces.

A few hours on a plane, suddenly going from winter to summer, is a really amazing experience.

"It's so hot, I'm sweating!"

Behind a few people, Zhuang Weichang, who came out of the cabin together, let out a breath, feeling the temperature around him, and there were fine beads of sweat in his head.

"It's a desert climate, it's winter, it's not hot, if it's summer, you won't be able to stay." Chen Zhongzhou pushed a suitcase on the side and said after Zhuang Wei's words.

"The locals really don't know how to hold on." Zhuang Wei bared his teeth, for a person of his size and fear of heat, this place is fine in winter, but I am afraid that it will not be able to stay at all in summer.

In early December, Yanjing had already started heating, and the temperature outside could already reach about zero degrees, and in Doha, the first thing everyone did when they got out of the cabin was to undress. The temperature of about 25 degrees Celsius makes Doha at this time particularly comfortable and pleasant.

For competitive sports, summer is the time when the temperature is higher throughout the year, in line with the laws of human movement, and in the summer time, the body's physical fitness and state reach the best time, and it is easy to have good results at this time, break records and so on.

The time of this year's Doha Asian Games is in December, and the most important reason is that Doha has a hot desert climate, with a long summer, from May to September, its average high temperature exceeds 38 degrees Celsius, many times close to 45 degrees Celsius, and throughout the summer, there is almost no precipitation in Doha, and the humidity is very low. However, in October and March, the temperature in Doha was relatively warm and pleasant.

Therefore, although many sports games are held in Doha in winter, they are still summer games.

"In such weather, you still have to pay more attention to hydration and salt."

Chen Zhongzhou looked up at a few scenes and the surrounding sky, the sky was blue like a play, the air cleanliness was very high, and the temperature was still relatively comfortable at this time, but the air was very dry.

As for the weather in Doha, the entire Chinese delegation had already said it a month or two months before the departure, and some teams may have noticed this aspect in half a year or a year in order to prepare for the war.

Participating in the competition in different climates always has different feelings. According to the current domestic track and field rules of athletes, this time is already the time to enter the winter training adjustment, this year broke this law to come to the competition, or it is very necessary to cheer up to adjust the good state of the individual.

After getting off the plane and entering the exit, along the way, Ye Qin and other members of the Chinese team thought that they would see various costumes like traditional Middle Eastern countries on TV.

As a result, if you really see it, you will find that there is not much difference between Doha and other countries, Doha is the capital of Qatar, and it is also a relatively enlightened one of the Arab countries in Central Asia, a large part of the population of Qatar lives near Doha and its metropolis, but even so, the vast majority of Doha's population is still a foreign population, and its own nationals account for a minority.

In 2004, Qatar passed the Foreign Ownership of Real Estate Law, which allowed non-Qatari citizens to purchase land in designated areas of Doha, including the West Bay Lagoon, the Qatari Pearl, and the new city of Lusail, resulting in an explosion in Doha's population. Coupled with the abundant local resources and the large number of migrant workers, foreign workers alone send tens of billions of dollars in remittances every year.

On the afternoon of December 8, the day after the start of the track and field events of the 15th Asian Games in 2006, Ye Qin, Wen Yongyi, Gu Kai and others once again appeared in the Khalifa Stadium, the main venue of the Asian Games.

Yesterday was the first day of track and field, and there were only two events, men's 20km race walk and women's 20km race walk, and the Chinese track and field team won the championship in both men's and women's 20km race walks, which was a good start for the Chinese delegation's track and field events.

Taking advantage of the morning before yesterday's race walking event, Ye Qin and other athletes participating in the track and field event were already familiar with the venue.

It was here that Jax Thelin equalled Asafavil's men's 100m record at this year's IAAFA Super Grand Prix in Doha, a result that is no longer counted. It was just that one leap in that race that made the stadium famous all over the world.

Khalifa International Sports Center, also known as Qatar International Sports Center, is a multi-functional large-scale integrated sports city building, in addition to multi-functional sports venues, it also includes Aspire Students, which was established in 04 to help athletes grow, Hamad Aquatics Center, and the landmark Aspiration Tower.

The 300-meter-high Aspire Tower, also known as the Doha Torch, is currently the tallest building in Qatar.

In order to host the opening and closing ceremonies and competitions of the 3rd West Asian Games in December 2005, the main stadium and running track with a capacity of 12,500 spectators were extensively renovated and expanded. The indoor stadium has also been renovated and reinforced, and now has a capacity of 1,050 spectators. The Khalifa National Stadium is also one of the five closest venues to the centre of the Doha Asian Games.
