GUANGZHOU, China: An Olympic Council of Asia official says karate and cricket will be among the non-Olympic sports retained for the 2014 Asian Games program at Incheon, despite not being on the wish list of South Korean organizers. The official, who declined to be named because he was not authorized to release the details, said the OCA general assembly made the decision during a meeting Saturday at Guangzhou. The number of sports is being cut from 42 in Guangzhou to 35 for the next edition.
