The Asian Games, Asia's largest multi-sport event, are also held only once every four years.
This year's Hangcheng Asian Games would feature a total of 45 participating countries and regions, with the number of athletes reaching a staggering 12,500.
Its influence is arguably second only to the Olympic Games, so its importance goes without saying.
After Huang Chong returned to his high-altitude training, his regimen included indoor trainer sessions and long-distance outdoor road group rides. But after Coach Han sent him the roster for the Asian Games road cycling events, another item was added to his high-altitude training program: TT bike threshold riding.
The road cycling events at these Asian Games were divided into four sub-events: the Men's Road Race and ITT, and the Women's Road Race and ITT.
The competition was scheduled for October 3rd to 5th.
On the first day of competition, the men's and women's ITT events would be held.
