The Asian Games, also called the ASIAD, is a multi-sport event held every four years among athletes from all

over Asia. The games are regulated by the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) under the supervision of the International

Olympic Committee (IOC). Medals are awarded in each event, with gold for the first place, silver for second and

bronze for third. This tradition started in 1951. The Asian Games are dominated by the People’s Republic of China.

Competitors are entered by a National Olympic Committee (NOC) to represent their country of citizenship. National

anthems and flags accompany the medal ceremonies, and tables showing the number of medals won by each country

are widely used. In general, only recognized nations are represented, but a few non-sovereign countries are allowed to

take part. The special case of Taiwan was handled by having it compete as Chinese Taipei due to the political status

of Taiwan.

The 15

Asian Games were held in Doha, Qatar from December 1

to December 16, 2005. The next ASIAD

will be held in Guangzhou, China from November 2

to November 18

, 2010.
