General Description
For the first time, the Summer Asian Games were co-hosted by two regions; the Indonesian
capital of Jakarta (which was hosting the Games for the first time since 1962), and
Palembang, the capital of South Sumatra province. Events were held in and around the two
cities, including venues in Bandung and the provinces of West Java and Banten. The opening
and closing ceremonies of the Games were held at Gelora Bung Karno Stadium in Jakarta.
The Games were originally awarded to Hanoi, Vietnam, but withdrew in 2014 due to
budgetary concerns and other factors.
Several non-Olympic events were trimmed from the event programme, but several new
disciplines being introduced at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo (including 3-on-3
basketball) were added. eSports and canoe polo were also contested as demonstration
sports.
China led the medal tally for the tenth consecutive time. North and South Korea fielded a
unified team during the opening ceremony and selected events, and also won their first-ever
gold medal as a unified team at a multi-sport event. 6 world, 18 Asian and 86 Asian Games
records were broken during the Games, while Japanese swimmer Rikako Ikee was announced
as the most valuable player.
