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.
