sport's consecutive ninth appearance
Kabaddi has appeared at every Asian Games since 1990, so Aichi-Nagoya 2026 is its 10th consecutive appearance, not its ninth.
Full reasoning
This count is off by one.
An official Hangzhou 2022 Asian Games article says kabaddi "became an official event of the Asian Games in 1990" and has appeared every time since then. The same article is on the 19th Asian Games Hangzhou site, confirming that the 2022/Hangzhou edition was one of those appearances. The official Aichi-Nagoya site identifies 2026 as the 20th Asian Games.
Counting the Asian Games editions from kabaddi's first official appearance in 1990 gives:
1990, 1994, 1998, 2002, 2006, 2010, 2014, 2018, 2022, 2026.
That makes Aichi-Nagoya 2026 kabaddi's 10th consecutive appearance, not the ninth.
