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
Committed (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.
