Asian Games medal tally 2010 shows China's dominance in world sports. China done it in Guangzhou too, eyes on London Olympics
To do like China would be the maxim of Games world in coming years. China has showcased its clout with a golden finish at Guangzhou after a stunning Beijing Olympics two years ago. The Asian Games host closed its two weeks sports extravaganza with a record medal haul of 199 gold.
The marvelous closing ceremony of Asian Games was more than enough like a Shanghai Expo to see the wonders kept behind the Great wall. Within two weeks China had made a litmus test of its sporting power with 10,000 athletes from 45 countries and regions. And finally it pushed arch-rivals like Japan and South Korea far behind on the medal table. South Korea was second, with 76, and Japan had 48.
Just like they clinched yellow medals, Chinese athletes were the forerunners in record breaking too. Chinese king on the track, Liu Xiang stormed to a third successive Asian title with his best time (13.09sec) in years. Li Ping set world marks in the women's weightlifting, while Sun Yang finished near the 1,500m swimming freestyle world record.
However, the headline performance of the 16th Asian Games came from South Korean teenage archery sensation Kim Woo Jin who broke a world record clinching two golds.
Chinas next stop will be the 2012 London Olympics as the Asiad would take four years to resume. The big names participated in a Chinese special closing ceremony were competing to praise the organizers. "Without a doubt, this has been one of the most outstanding (Asian Games)," said Olympic Council of Asia president Sheikh Ahmad Al-Fahad Al-Sabah.
Still China is not ready to go for a deep sleep but much worried about their failure in achieving the Olympic standards in Games. "The situation in the lead-up to the London Olympics is grim and we cannot rest on our laurels," the deputy chief of the contingent, Duan Shijie said.
China has won 199 Gold Medal, 119 silver and 98 Bronze making a record total of 416 medals world record and asian record. No asian country has ever did it apart China.
By contrast India which is tagged by the US as a rival of China and uses it to contain CHina finished second in the Shameful CWG and it is only the sixth nation in Asia, Iran and Kazakhstan have done better bearing in mind that India has more than 1 Billion population force. So who could explain why India surpassed England while it could not make it for the Asian games and completely failed.
