6th Baisakh, Kathmandu – The Nepal Olympic Committee formally sent off the athletes representing Nepal in two sports at the 6th Asian Beach Games 2026. The farewell ceremony was held Sunday at the committee’s office in Satdobato. The competition, scheduled to be held in Sanya, China, will see Nepal represented in women’s kabaddi and wrestling.
Nepal’s delegation for the event includes a kabaddi team of six female players along with three wrestlers—two men and one woman. In men’s wrestling, Suresh Chunara will compete in the 80 kg weight class, and Triloki Prasad Yadav will participate in the 90+ kg weight class. On the women’s side, Sushila Chand will compete in the 70 kg category. During the send-off, Olympic Committee President Jeevan Ram Shrestha encouraged all athletes to deliver outstanding performances and bring honor to Nepal.
Expressing regret that Nepal could not field athletes in more sports this time, Shrestha conveyed his best wishes for the competing athletes to elevate Nepal’s reputation. “While the number of sports in which Nepali athletes can participate is limited in this edition due to international-level qualification standards, we expect the participants to make Nepal proud,” he stated. Vice President Chaturananda Vaidya, Secretary-General Rajiv Shrestha, and other officials of the Nepal Olympic Committee were present at the farewell event. The team’s chef de mission is Ram Krishna Shrestha.
