SEA Games 31 is both smooth and… entangled

Professionals want more tools but…

The import of training and competition equipment for the 31st SEA Games has faced many difficulties in the past time, not only because of the slow disbursement of funds but also for many other objective reasons. However, up to this point, according to a member of BTC SEA Games 31: “The equipment, if imported from abroad, is already present in Vietnam. With equipment purchased or borrowed from domestic companies, installation is also underway.

Equipment for athletics imported from Europe was present at the Training Center sport Hanoi country Hoang Quan

Key sports such as boat racing are invested in buying new power-assisted tractors and new boats; Shooting can be imported with guns, bullets, electronic target… The most is athletics with 59 modern equipment imported completely from Nordic (Sweden), such as fences, javes, discs, poles, sets.

While teaching at the 31st SEA Games athletics referee training class, two leading technical experts of the Asian Athletics Federation suggested that Vietnam need to double the number of imported equipment, but the Vietnamese side shared that because of experience fees are limited, so getting the amount available is a great effort of BTC. In addition, other sports such as football, have purchased domestic equipment (from Sodex Sport), including fixed, portable goalposts, nets, corner chess sets, athletes’ cabins, referees, supervisors, and controllers. coordinator.

No electrical problems can occur

The latest incident just happened at Viet Tri Stadium (Phu Tho) when U.23 VN team was playing a friendly match with U.20 Korea, the light system lost power 2 times, which was caused by an old generator, leading to overload. Therefore, the organization needs to be carefully prepared in all aspects, especially issues related to facilities, it is impossible for a power failure to occur, which will be destroyed by the Football Federation. Asian penalties are very heavy and more dangerous than affecting the professional quality of the match.

Also related to the issue of electricity, at National Sports Complex, the automatic power transmission system is having a control error, must be operated manually, so there will be a delay in the power transfer process when there is a problem. At Hanoi Sports Training and Competition Center, some substations do not have backup generators or generators with small capacity; The mechanical system at the medium voltage cabinet is rusty; The cabinet does not have a gas meter, the gas pressure is reduced… The local electricity authority will have to urgently coordinate with the above locations to urgently overcome the shortcomings and add a number of generators. at key positions where the opening, competition and closing ceremonies take place; must anticipate in order to have a plan to promptly deal with situations that may occur during the electricity supply process.

If you don’t have enough cars, you have to bid for the second time

As Youth It has been reported that from May 1 to May 5, Vietnam will hold an affirmation conference to officially notify countries for the last time about all the preparations, including the move, including license plates for cars serving each country. group with driver’s name. However, it is very worrying that up to this point, the BTC has not been able to complete the bidding on the vehicle-related issue. To serve the 31st SEA Games, the organizers need about 550 cars of all kinds (4-seater luxury car to welcome VVIP and VIP guests; 7-seat car, 16-seat car, 24-seat car, 54-seat car, 60-seat car, truck). Because of Covid-19 so much enterprise Transport cannot do business, must sell cars so as not to fall into bankruptcy. Currently, there is not a single domestic enterprise that can have the number of vehicles required by BTC. The 31st SEA Games Logistics Subcommittee has worked with the Directorate for Roads of Vietnam and will conduct the second bidding. The plan is that many transport businesses must join together to be able to “collect” enough cars that they can’t afford. BTC needs.

Also on the issue of travel, currently some international referees and supervisors of some sports do not have air tickets because there is no direct flight to Vietnam. BTC is very worried and has to consider the plan to fly around to another country and then move on to Hanoi.
