The official mascot for the Asian Athletics Championships, which begin on Wednesday in Bangkok, will be ‘Lord Hanuman’, one of India’s most renowned Gods.
The event commemorates the 50th anniversary of the formation of the continental governing organization.
“As Hanuman exhibits extraordinary abilities in (Lord) Rama’s service, including speed, strength, courage, and wisdom… Hanuman’s greatest ability is, in fact, his incredibly staunch loyalty and devotion”, the Asian Athletics Association wrote on its website.
“The 25th Asian Athletics Championships 2023 logo indicates the athletes participating in the games, skills, teamwork of athletes, showcase of athleticism, dedication, and sportsmanship”, it added.
India, led by shot putter Tajinderpal Singh Toor and long jumper Murali Sreeshankar, would attempt to make an impression in the Championships.
The Indian squad departed from Delhi and Bengaluru on Saturday night for the five-day Asian Athletics Championships.
