ASIAN GAMES
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 first
place, silver for second and bronze for third, a tradition which 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 nonsovereign 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.
