Great photos from the inaugural 2008 Asian Beach games! The 2008 games brought 6,000 athletes to compete in 71 events in 19 sports. Sports included well-known games like beach volleyball and triathlon, and some sports better known to asians, like sepak takraw, kabaddi and pencak silat. The next Asian Beach Games are scheduled to be hosted by Oman in the year 2010.

6,000 athletes on the beach Wow that would be a fun day for a photographer shooting the events. We love the beach and sunshine.
