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.
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 recognised 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.
The first Asian games were held at New Delhi in 1952,which again hosted it in 1982.
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

亚运会，是一个在来自亚洲各地的运动员中举办的多项目体育赛事，每4年一届。该游戏是受亚洲奥林匹克理事会(OCA)根据国际奥委会(IOC)的监督。勋章是第一名金牌，第二名银牌和第三名铜牌，这一传统是从1951年开始的。
选手通过进入国家奥林匹克委员会(NOC)来确定其国籍。国歌，国旗伴随奖章仪式，显示了每一个国家获得奖牌的数量图表被广泛使用。一般只承认国家的代表，但一些非主权地区也能参加。由于台湾的特殊性，以中国台北的身份才加亚运会。
第一届亚洲运动会在新德里举行的1952年，再次举办是在1982年。
第15届亚运会于2006年12月1日至12月15日在多哈卡塔尔举行。第16届亚运会将于2010年11月12日至11月27在广州举行。
