JAKARTA -- Indonesian President Joko Widodo is pinning his 2019 re-election hopes on the success of the Asian Games preceding it here. But with less than a year until the opening ceremony, related infrastructure work risks embarrassing delays.
The Olympic Council of Asia organizes the quadrennial gathering, where 10,000 or so athletes from 40-plus nations compete in swimming, wrestling and other conventional Olympic categories as well as such regional sports as wushu martial arts and sepak takraw kick volleyball.
