INDRODUCTION
The Asian Games, also known as Asiad, is a
continental multi-sport event held every four
years among athletes from all ovez Asia. The
Games were regulated by the
Asian Games Federation from the first
Games in New Delhi, India, until the 1978 Games.
For the first time, the Asian Games were co-hosted
in two cities; the
Indonesian capital of Jakarta (which is hosting
the Games for the first time
since 1962), and Palembang, the capital of the South
Sumatera province. Events were
held in and around the two cities, including venues
in Bandung and some places in the provinces of
West Java and Banten. The opening and closing
ceremonies of the
Games were held at Gelora Bung Karno Main
Stadium in Jakarta. Also for the first time, eSports
and canoe polo were contested as demonstration
sports. China led the medal
tally for the tenth consecutive time. North
Korea and South Korea eleventh china
1 HISTORY
Before the Asian Games were held, an event known as
the Far Eastern Championship
Games existed which was first mooted in 1912 at a
location set between the Empire of Japan, the
Philippines, and China. The Far Eastern
Games were first held in Manila in 1913with 6
participating nations. Ten more Far Eastern
Games were held until 1934. Against the backdrop
of the second Sino-Japanese Warin
1934, in the face of Japan's insistence on including
the Manchu Empire as a competitor nation in the
Games, China announced its
withdrawal from participation. Consequently,
the Far Eastern Games scheduled for 1938 were
cancelled. The organization was ultimately
discontinued. After World War II, a number of Asian
countries became independent. Many of the newly
independent Asian countries desired the formation of a
new type of competition
whereby Asian dominance was not expressed through
violence, but instead strengthened
through mutual understanding. However, in
March 2014, there were some concerns about Vietnam's
ability to host.2019 is hosted in Kathmandu and Pokhara,
Janakpur in Nepal. 2022
is hosting in china but covid 19
problem is changed to 2023 Hangzhou,china and
completed successfully.

Various countries participating in the European
Games rather than the Asian Games are partially or fully in
Asia: Turkey, Russia (major parts in

In history, 46 National Olympic Committees
(NOCs) have sent competitors to the

Games since 1976, the reason cited as being due to security
reasons.[24] Israel requested to
participate in the 1982 Games, but the request was rejected
by the organizers due to
the Munich massacre.[25] Israel is now a member of the
European Olympic Committees (EOC) and competes at the
European Games.
