Sideline Story

About
In this episode, we dive into the sixth Asian Beach Games held in Sanya, China. From teqball to beach kabaddi and open‑water water polo, we break down the quirkiest, most entertaining events on the sand. We also explore Sanya’s behind‑the‑scenes surprises – robotic cleaners, $4 tickets, a booming “ticket economy” – and ask bigger questions: Should the Olympics borrow these relaxed, green, low‑cost ideas? Tune in for a fun, thought‑provoking trip to the coastline.
