The 2022 Asian Games, officially known as the XIX Asian Games, was the largest sporting event in Asia governed by Olympic Council of Asia (OCA). They were held from 23 September to 8 October 2023 in Hangzhou, China, with 481 events in 40 sports and disciplines featured in the Games.[1]
In this edition of the Games, Brunei and Oman won their first ever medals when each country won a silver.[2][3] India became the fourth nation in the history of Asian Games after Japan, China and South Korea to cross the 100 medal-mark in one edition.[4][5] The host nation, China, crossed the 200 gold medal mark for the first time in a single edition of the Asian Games, reaching a total of 201 gold medals, becoming the first country in history to do so and surpassing their previous record of 199 golds in the 2010 Guangzhou Summer Asian Games.[6][7][8] But on the other hand, China did not break the total medal record that was also held in Guangzhou with 416 medals in total. The mark of 41 NOCs winning medals is the highest for any Asian Games.
