Paragliding is one of the most fashionable and leisurely aviation sports, and is also one of the eight non-Olympic projects this year to enter the Asian Games for the first time.

As an emerging sporting event, after nearly 20 years of development in the country it has seen its popularity soar.

The paragliding accuracy game, also known as the precision landing game or the target game, makes a competition of contestants trying to land as close to a predetermined target as possible.
