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).
In August 1948, during the 14
th Olympic Games in London, Indian
IOC representative Guru Dutt Sondhi proposed to sports leaders of the Asian
teams the idea of having discussions about holding the Asian Games. They
agreed to form the Asian Athletic Federation. A preparatory committee was
set up to draft the charter for the Asian amateur athletic federation. In
February, 1949, the Asian athletic federation was formally formed and used
the name Asian Games Federation. It was decided to hold the first Asian
Games in 1951 in New Delhi, the capital of India. They added that the Asian
Games would be regularly held once every four years.
Medals are awarded in each event, with gold for first place, silver for
second and bronze for third, a tradition which started in 1951.
Competitors are entered by a National Olympic Committee (NOC) to
represent theor 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 15
th Asian Games were held in Doha, Qatar from December 1 to
December 15, 2006. More than 10,000 athletes, who represented 45
countries and regions, took part in 39 sports and 424 events of the Games.
