Asians 2022 in Kazakhstan

[Clock_Enthusiast]

Also, Kazakhstan borders Ukraine and Russia.

It doesn’t border Ukraine, but definitely shares a large border with Russia.

Why was a national championship scheduled for the same time as the continental championship?
And why so few people at a continent championship? I assume partly because of the national championship.

Few people are attending continental championship this time due to covid. Also there are less direct flights to kazakhstan from many countries. On the other hand, if Asians was in say Singapore, there would be a lot more competitors.

Korean Championship meant that no one from South Korea would come to attend Asians which is sad.

Also, Kazakhstan borders Ukraine and Russia.

It only borders Russia. It borders Uzbekistan on the east.

India does not have a speedcubing Federation yet.

China has quarantine policy right now. And it was already Asians host in 2016.
