The Asian Games first began in 1951 in New Delhi, India. While generally the Asian Games are held only in one city, the Asian Games 2018 will see events happening in Indonesian capital Jakarta and the country’s oldest city, Palembang. The opening and closing ceremonies of the 18th Asian Games will be held at the Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium in Jakarta. 2 | P a g e The 18th Asian Games will witness athletes from 45 countries competing in 465 events approx. Jakarta will host most of the events but sports like shooting and tennis will be played in Palembang. Indonesia is hosting the Asian Games for the 2nd time after the Jakarta Asian Games in 1962. The Asian Games are organised every four years by the Olympic Council of Asia, the 2nd largest multi-sport event next to the Olympic Games in the world. India and Asian Games The India's contingent at the Asian Games 2018 will have 572 athletes - 312 men and 260 women competing across 36 events. Young javelin-thrower Neeraj Chopra carried India’s flag and led the contingent at the Asian Games 2018. India’s best performance at the Asia Games was in Guangzhou 2010, where India won 65 medals, including 14 golds. There are many Indian athletes who are being considered strong medal contenders for the 18th Asian Games. Let us take a look at them: o Hockey - Defending champion India will look to once again bring home the gold in the men’s category while the women’s team will look to better their bronze-medal performance from Incheon to finish with the yellow metal. o Wrestling - Bajrang Punia, Sushil Kumar and Vinesh Phogat are being considered strong medal contenders for India. o Badminton - P V Sindhu, Sania Nehwal, and K Shrikant have shown commendable performances in the past few months and have a good chance of winning medals for the country. 3 | P a g e o Shooting - No Indian shooter has shown more promise than the Haryana school-going 16-year-old, Manu Bhaker. She also shot down the gold at the CWG and will be a strong contender in the 10m air pistol event in the Asian Games 2018. o Tennis - Rohan Bopanna will be a contender along with very impressive Divij Sharan in men’s doubles. In the absence of top singles player Yuki Bhambri, the Chennai-player, Ramkumar Ramanathan will carry India’s hopes. o Boxing - Vikas Krishan will be India’s strongest contender for a medal in Jakarta. Shiva Thapa has a good record at the Asian Championships to draw confidence from, having claimed three successive medals. Sonia Lather will lead a three-member Indian women’s team in the absence of MC Mary Kom, who pulled out to focus on the World Championship. Sonia will compete in the 57kg. o Kabaddi - India are the defending champions of the gold medal in men’s and women’s kabaddi event at the Asian Games and are expected to win Gold this year too. o Gymnastics - Dipa Karmakar is tipped to be India’s best medal bet in Jakarta. o Table Tennis - The Delhi-player, Manika Batra is expected to give a strong fight to her rivals at the Asian Games 2018. o Hima Das for athletics, Neeraj Chopra for javelin throw, Seema Punia for discus throw and Dutee Chand for sprints - all pose high chances of winning medals in their respective disciplines. Apart from the above mentioned disciplines, in the Asian Games 2018 unusual events like bridge, pencak silat and kurash will also see Indian athletes compete. Let’s hope Indian athletes beat their own best performance in 2010 and secure India in Top Rank in Asian Games 2018. 4 | P a g e Was this article helpful for you? Check out more such articles.

Almost all countries of the world are making signi cant investment for the promotion of sports and games. Excellent performance in Olympics and other international sports events has become a matter of national prestige and pride and also an indication of quality of human development. India could perform well in certain sports disciplines like Hockey in the past. Some sports persons, through their individual brilliance, have also shown excellent performance in international sports events. The performance of India in the game of Cricket, with the stupendous public support and vast resources, is a milestone in sports in the country. But when we take an overall view, the performance of India in sports has not been optimal. Absence of sports culture, lack of suf cient facilities like quali ed coaches/specialists, sports infrastructure and inadequate sponsors to sportspersons for their training/coaching have been found to be some of the reasons for the sub-optimal performance. The National Sports Policy recognized the need to bring in adequate facilities for promotion of sports and games through various sources.
