South Korean volleyball team bussed to wrong Asian Games venue

South Korea's men's volleyball team was the latest to be affected by transport problems at the Asian Games in Japan when their bus went to the wrong venue, according to a report by Dawn. The official shuttle took the team to Okazaki instead of their training venue in Inuyama, causing them to cancel a morning practice session.

An official from the Korea Volleyball Association said a formal complaint was lodged with organisers through South Korea's Olympic committee. The lost time meant the team could not travel back for their training ahead of a group game against Taiwan.

The team went on to win their match against Taiwan 3-1. Transport and accommodation issues have been a recurring problem for the more than 17,000 athletes and officials at the Games in Aichi-Nagoya.
