[RxPG] Doha, Nov 25 - The Chinese in all probability would top the medals tally again. They have done that consistently over the past and there is no sign of them letting up. But with the Asian Games growing bigger and bigger - the 15th edition in Qatar will have 39 disciplines with 424 gold medals at stake - they are all set to make waves even outside the continent.
Sure, the merchandise is still from the Chinese markets - as it is globally - but professional expertise is coming from all over the world such as Australia, Britain, the US, Germany and a few other countries.
Australians in particular have successfully managed to 'market their expertise' in organising and working out the logistics of major multi-discipline games following their widely acclaimed conduct of the 2000 Sydney Olympics and then the Melbourne Commonwealth Games.
Their volunteer programme, which was the backbone of both events, has become a case study for planners. Australians led by Sandy Hollway, the CEO of the Sydney Olympics, have taken little time to cash in on this expertise.
The Australians are in the thick of things. Be it in the volunteer programme, torch relay, presentations, media services, venue management and even stadium designs, they are in full force managing them.
