名古屋——亚洲奥林匹克理事会（OCA）周日表示，收入近20%的增长、强劲的收视数据以及一系列世界纪录的诞生，证明了爱知-名古屋亚运会取得了成功，尽管这场综合性体育盛会饱受后勤问题困扰。
Nagoya – The Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) said on Sunday that a near 20% jump in revenue, strong viewership figures and a slew of world records proved the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games were a success, despite logistical problems plaguing the multisport showpiece.
由于大量临时报名，参赛人数激增至17,000人——比预计多出约2,000人。
The number of participants ballooned to 17,000 following a flurry of late entries — around 2,000 more than projected.
由于没有专门的运动员村，参赛人员被安排入住酒店、集装箱式居住单元和一艘游轮的混合住宿。
With no dedicated Athletes’ Village, participants were housed in a mix of hotels, container-style living units and a cruise ship.
组委会秘书长村濑聪史在意外增员导致住宿和交通网络紧张、引发运动员和团队官员对房间拥挤、床铺狭小的投诉后，致歉。
Satoshi Murate, secretary general of the organizing committee, apologized after the unexpected increase strained accommodation and transport networks, prompting complaints from athletes and team officials over cramped rooms and small beds.
然而，OCA总干事胡赛因·阿尔-穆萨拉姆指出，本届亚运会诞生的54项世界纪录、11项青年世界纪录和89项洲际纪录，证明了组织工作的有效性。
However, OCA Director General Husain Al-Musallam pointed to the 54 world, 11 junior world and 89 continental records set at the Games as evidence of effective organization.
“如果没有最好的环境，就不可能取得这样的成绩，”这位科威特人同时也是世界水联主席，他在亚运会最后一天的新闻发布会上对记者表示。
“This achievement does not come without the best environment,” the Kuwaiti, who is also president of World Aquatics, told reporters at a news conference on the final day of the Games.
“没有交通，运动员无法发挥。没有良好的医疗保障，运动员无法发挥。没有食物，运动员无法发挥。数字会说话，这就是证据。我们在这里向你们展示证据。”他补充道，在亚运会必须可持续且财务可行的当下，爱知-名古屋模式值得借鉴。
“The athletes cannot perform if they don’t have transportation. The athletes cannot perform if they don’t have good healthcare. The athletes cannot perform if they don’t eat food. Number talks, it’s evidence. We are here to present you the evidence.”He added that at a time when the Games must be sustainable and financially viable, the Aichi-Nagoya model was one worth copying.
“我们很高兴看到组委会没有巨大的财务负担，名古屋或任何地方都没有留下‘白 elephant’（指耗资巨大但无实用价值的设施）。”OCA官员表示，与三年前的杭州亚运会相比，收入增长主要来自数字化增长和更强的收视数据，印度与巴基斯坦的曲棍球和板球比赛吸引了大量电视观众。
“We are happy to see that there is no big financial burden in the organizing committee, and there is no white elephant staying in Nagoya or any place.”The revenue increase, measured against the Games in Hangzhou three years ago, came mainly from digital growth and stronger viewership figures, with India’s hockey and cricket matches against Pakistan drawing large TV audiences, OCA officials said.
阿尔-穆萨拉姆还表示，在动荡的地缘政治局势下，本届亚运会提供了一个团结的时刻。
Al-Musallam also said the Games had provided a moment of unity during a time of geopolitical turmoil.
“看看新闻，到处都是冲突——亚洲内部，亚洲之外，”他说。“到处都是经济问题。但看看亚洲，我们在体育方面是多么团结。”运动会协调委员会主席塔亚布·伊克拉姆承认存在后勤问题，但表示他们通过共同努力克服了这些问题。
“When you look to the news, conflict everywhere — in Asia, outside Asia,” he said. “Economic problems everywhere. But look at Asia, how united we are in sport.”Tayyab Ikram, chairman of the Games Coordination Committee, acknowledged the logistical problems but said they had overcome them by working together.
“没有挑战就没有运动会，”伊克拉姆说，他同时也是国际曲棍球联合会主席。“未来，我们希望看到更可持续的解决方案、更多的改进和创新……但不能以牺牲运动员的条件为代价。”
“There is no Games without challenges,“ said Ikram, who also heads the International Hockey Federation. “In future, we would like to see more sustainable solution, more improvement and innovation ... but without compromising on the athletes’ conditions.”
