THE 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 non-sovereign
countries are allowed to take part in. The special case of Taiwan was handled by having it compete as Chinese
Taipei, due to the political status of Taiwan.
The 15th Asian Games were held in Doha, Qatar from December 1 to December 15, 2006. The 16th Asian
Games will be held in Guangzhou, China from November 12, 2010 to November 27, 2010.

The SEA Games originated from the SEAP (Southeast Asian Peninsula) Games which were first held in
Thailand in 1959. When the first SEAP Games were held in Bangkok in 1959, only six countries participated,
namely Laos, Burma (Myanmar), Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, and Viet Nam.
Luang Sukhumnaipradit, the then Vice President of the Thai National Olympic Committee, had been trying to
begin a SEAP Games since 1957. He believed that a regional sports competition, similar to the Asian Games or
the Olympic Games, will help promote cooperation, understanding, and relations among countries in the region.
His efforts were rewarded after two years.
